Three Questions About AI

Olaf Groth, F95, F97, a professor at Hult International Business School and CEO of the Cambrian Group, co-authored the new book Solomon's Code: Humanity in a World of Thinking Machines. Tufts Now spoke with him about technology's dual nature and governing artificial intelligence. Olaf Groth: King Solomon was a biblical figure known for making very intelligent decisions and getting to great wealth, but then also making problematic decisions and losing his wealth and his country, or his son's country, as it were. We're saying that we ought to be wise about the kinds of problems that we could be generating in this new data-driven economy. We do not want to end up like Solomon, but rather exercise some foresight so that we don't make the same mistakes.
