Artificial intelligence–the good and the not so good news

#artificialintelligence

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is on the rise in many organizations across various fields. AI has the power to help businesses as well as employees by providing greater data insights, better threat protection, more efficient automation and other advances. However, if misused, AI can be a detriment to individuals, organizations, and society overall. For instance, "bots" are now rampant among social media, generating political propaganda or "fake news" intended to adversely impact or unjustly inflate people's opinions of various political candidates or personalities, thereby lowering the quality of discourse and public faith in reporting institutions. Therefore, it is imperative to establish moral guidelines and boundaries for the use of AI in business, and possibly beyond.

He needed to pursue young voters and sought a softer public image, and had just roughly three weeks to officially campaign by law.
