Big tech must weigh AI’s risks vs. rewards
In an interview with the New York Times, Hinton noted the pace of AI advancement is far beyond what he and other tech experts predicted. Hinton said that Google acted very responsibly while he worked on its AI development efforts. His concerns are due to AI’s rapid advancement, and its potential nefarious use if it fell into the wrong hands.
Big consultancies predict the annual AI market could be in the trillions of dollars by the 2030s, Data Science Central contributor Alan Morrison notes in his article this week. It seems well on its way: After ChatGPT launched in late 2022, tech companies large and small deployed similar AI tools designed to engage customers, conduct research and develop business plans.
As these AI tools continue to advance (and make tons of money), it will be difficult for companies to slow AI research and advancement to offset risk. Balancing this risk vs. reward will be key, and require cooperation between lawmakers, the tech industry and the general public — no small task.
Speaking of initiatives that require cooperation from large swaths of society, we wanted to announce the launch of TechTarget’s Sustainability and ESG site. The site provides information for business leaders who are optimizing technology for sustainability purposes. As Sustainability and ESG editor Diann Daniel notes in her introductory article, AI, analytics, virtual reality, and many more technologies will factor into organizations’ sustainability efforts. Visit the Sustainability and ESG site to understand which technologies help and which end up doing more harm.
