AI: The Robot Genie in Our Digital Lamp
Remarks from TPEX consultancy for decision makers.
The Right Way for a Brighter Future? (No Flying Carpets Included)
Written SH on 2024-09-10.
Technology always brings change, and artificial intelligence (AI) is no exception. While public discourse often gravitates towards the external perils posed by AI it is important that we broaden our perspective to encompass the full range of its implications.
AI is already changing how businesses work and affecting jobs. As algorithms and machine learning systems increasingly permeate industries, there is a genuine concern that this technological revolution may exacerbate existing inequalities, potentially creating a chasm between those who can harness AI’s potential and those left in its wake.
However, it would be remiss to dwell solely on the challenges without acknowledging the immense opportunities that AI presents.
"Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it."Andreessen, M., 2023. Why AI Will Save the World. a16z. Available at: https://a16z.com/ai-will-save-the-world/ online.
For individuals, AI can make life easier and open up new possibilities. It can help us learn, work, and solve problems in new ways. On a societal level, the judicious application of AI has the potential to address longstanding issues of inequality, from improving healthcare accessibility to optimising resource distribution.
As we stand at this technological crossroads, it prompts us to carefully consider the frameworks and regulations that will shape AI’s integration into our lives. The question we must ask ourselves is: what future do we want, and how can AI be harnessed to realise that vision? Perhaps only through thoughtful deliberation and proactive policymaking can we hope to navigate the complex terrain of AI, maximising its benefits while mitigating its risks.
