What the future of humanity looks like in the age of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

I read "Life 3.0: Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence" by Max Tegmark and I want to share my thoughts and the things that appear interesting to me about this amazing book. The author called the future of humanity in the age of Artificial Intelligence as the most important conversation of our time, since AI(Artificial Intelligence) has an enormous potential. As any other technology, AI can be use to good things as well as bad things. Technology gives life the potential to flourish like never before or to self-destruct. I liked how some definitions that the author gives are simple and general, since these definitions are planned to not only be use in humans, but also any other types of intelligent entities or living beings.


Is your company failing at chatbot AI trust and transparency?

#artificialintelligence

Chatbot adoption is projected to increase more than 100% over the next two years.1 For marketing or operations leaders, chances are good your organization has one or more chatbots deployed, and more in the works. But those chatbots may expose you to unforeseen risks, especially in the areas of trust and transparency. Why does this matter now? AI-infused technologies like chatbots are increasingly in the public eye and under scrutiny.2


The pitfalls of AI that could predict the outcome of court cases

#artificialintelligence

Did you miss a session at the Data Summit? Companies have long sought technologies that promise an advantage in fighting litigation. For most enterprises, casework is a major drain on resources. In 2020, U.S. businesses spent a total of $22.8 billion dollars on litigation; law firm Fulbright & Jaworski estimated in 2005 that nearly 90% of businesses are engaged in some type of litigation and that the average company balances a docket of 37 lawsuits. With the democratization of AI and analytics tools, it was perhaps inevitable that startups would begin applying predictive techniques to the legal field -- particularly given the enormous market opportunity.


Six Stages of Data-Centric MLOps

#artificialintelligence

Servicing an AI system in production requires an engineering approach. What that means is that the operations need to be systematic and repeatable with the necessary tools and processes. You will see that concerns for data need to be at every stage. After these initial questions are answered, we are ready to move to the most important phase of AI development: namely, collecting and labeling data. During the Collecting phase, the goal is to collect data that are privacy-protected, trustworthy, balanced, and diverse.

Tinder now offers criminal background checks, but there's a big problem

The Guardian

As of this week, Tinder users will be able to run criminal background checks on their potential dates. The feature โ€“ launched in partnership with Garbo, a background check provider that aims to make public safety information more accessible โ€“ is intended to make Tinder users feel safer. But experts who specialize in sexual violence and surveillance have said the move is misguided, and risks amplifying the biases inherent in the criminal justice system. Background checks are blunt tools that gloss over some fundamental nuances, including that most people accused of sexual violence do not interact with the criminal justice system, said Albert Fox Cahn, the founder of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. Only 310 of 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police, according to the anti-sexual violence organization Rainn.


GPT-3: An AI That Makes Cars, Not Wrenches, and What It Means for the Legal Profession - Business Law Today from ABA

#artificialintelligence

One doesn't have to dig too deep into legal organizations to find AI skeptics. AI is getting tremendous attention and significant venture capital, but AI tools frequently underwhelm in the trenches. Here are a few reasons why that is and why I believe GPT-3, a beta version of which was recently released by the OpenAI Foundation, might be a game-changer in legal and other knowledge-focused organizations. GPT-3 is getting a lot of oxygen lately because of its size, scope, and capabilities. However, it should be recognized that a significant amount of that attention is due to its association with Elon Musk.



Rise of the racist robots prompts artificial intelligence upgrades

#artificialintelligence

Businesses seeking to cut costs and satisfy consumer demands for lightning-fast service are increasingly replacing people with machines in every part of the supply chain. But regulators are becoming concerned that relying on artificial intelligence could undo decades of work put into making sure consumers are treated fairly regardless of their race or gender. Financial institutions have become the latest target in a wider crackdown on discrimination in artificial intelligence after the Bank of England launched a campaign to make sure new technologies don't restrict lending to ethinic minorities. The Bank's deputy governor David Ramsden held an industry roundtable with Mastercard, Visa, Capital One, Starling Bank, Experian, and others in October 2021 to discuss the ethics of artificial intelligence. Ramsden warned attendees about the elimination of "human judgement and oversight" in decisions.


Gender bias in AI recruiting: How algorithms hold women back

#artificialintelligence

The odds are still stacked against women's success in the workplace, and artificial intelligence (AI) is only making it worse, a new report released on Tuesday claims. Because algorithms used in human resources systems are built on historical data reflecting past bias against women in the workplace, they tend to disadvantage women throughout their careers, according to the study, published on International Women's Day in a joint collaboration between UNESCO, the OECD and the Inter-American Development Bank. Here's a look at how AI bias in the workplace happens - and how it might be tackled. Workers increasingly find new opportunities through online jobs platforms, such as Indeed and LinkedIn and on social media like Facebook and Twitter. The algorithms on these platforms influence which job opportunities people learn about, and how well-suited they perceive themselves to be for a particular role.
