Ethics In AI: Why Values For Data Matter

While you might not consider ethics in AI a primary concern for your business, consider this: A whopping 50% of business processes will be fully automated by 2022, compared to around 30% today. Most of the advantages in digital transformation are enabled by task augmentation through artificial intelligence (AI) or through AI powered Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Using such vast quantities of data in automated processes is already having a massive impact on business and society. Many analysts have projected that by 2020, around 70% of the data that a company uses will come from Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices and external data streams – in other words, external, non-transactional sources. This rising impact can be both a blessing and a concern.
