AI as a Force for Good

AI is everywhere: inside smartphones, on wearable devices, at hospitals and airports, and even in cars. The technology is shaking up economies, pushing companies to adapt and forcing governments to take a closer look at its implications. As AI becomes more ubiquitous, it is also polarizing public opinion, with fears over man's ability to control the technology, its long-term impact on labour markets and concerns over data collection and privacy. The late physicist and author Stephen Hawking warned that AI could be the "worst event in the history of our civilization." Similarly alarmist, Elon Musk, founder of electric car manufacturer Tesla described AI as more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
