Artificial Intelligence AI is the trending
technological innovation that has been
received with mixed feelings, worries,
fears, anxiety and apprehension are just
few ways to describe how people respond
to AI.
Emotion is at the centre of it; whether it’s
based on loss of control, uncertainties,
values, jobs or privacy concerns.
Are you scarred that AI is becoming the
21st century digital giant that’s becoming
difficult to tame? Well you’re not alone.
Few clues as to where we’re in the radar, if
you stick around.
AI is a technological innovation that was
created by human intelligence which
could become disastrous because of
human frailties.
History is replete with numerous cases of
failed expectations of human intelligence,
even at the peak of it. Think about the
largest ship, Titanic, submersible sub-
marine, aeroplanes, clones etc none of
them has proved error-free.
Have you felt upset, agitated or confused
when you hear ChatGPT, machine
learning, Algorithm, Big Data computer
vision and how viral they’d gone?
Of course some people see the tech
innovations as a battle of values:
replication of superlative order of things
in terms of speed, efficiency and quality.
This battle preceded the discovery of DNA
and robots.
Do you feel concerned about what the
apparent free-for-all use of AI may have
on our environments with the absence of
ethical guidelines? Your guess is as good
as mine.
Sometimes you wonder what the thinking
of global and #corporateleaders, sovereign
states, private sector and individuals are?
Totally overwhelmed perhaps?
On the contrary, there seem to be a
reassuring posture from global leaders,
UNO, UNESCO, WIPO, corporate
conglomerates etc that AI is a digital
companion to be adopted.
Have you wondered what the mission of
AI is all about apart from capitalist end?
It’s unlikely that apprehensions, fears by
individuals or groups can stop the
crescendo of AI trajectory.
Here’s why. A recent survey conducted by
concerned experts revealed among other
things that more than 80% of all
respondents agree that for researches and
routine tasks AI is safe.
The second finding of the survey is that
62% of respondents believe that effective
use of generative AI will separate
successful law firms from unsuccessful
firms within the next xt five year
Put all these together and think of how to
navigate, for numerous people I bet
nothing can be more intimidating and
monumental.
And the most critical aspect?
Where to start.
Have you got opinions, clues and counter perspectives? More of these are expected.
