The rise of the machines – will AI save us?
The debate surrounding the potential risks and benefits of AI is intensifying and rightly so. The risks posed by AI are no different than other high-risk technologies; they are determined by what humans decide to do with it. Human factors can be particularly dangerous when the wrong humans are in control of anything, especially technology. AI’s neutrality stands in stark contrast to the frailties inherent in human behavior. Ultimately, the single greatest threat to mankind isn’t AI, but rather the humans who use and control it.
A safe, successful future requires understanding of the real risks. It means knowing what questions to ask when developing or implementing AI. The problem is most business leaders and government officials don’t know what those questions are.
In this discussion We’ll explore the questions that need to be asked and of whom. We’ll shine a light on the real risks to industry and our society; from decision makers down to individuals exposed to potentially adverse AI outcomes. We’ll discuss the ethical dilemmas, limitations of safety regulation and ultimately explore how we can achieve the right balance between humans and their AI co-pilots.
