Microsoft releases new guidance and tools for responsible AI development
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that is actively being worked on, and we see new applications for it emerge on a daily basis. GitHub Copilot enables AI to write code for you, IBM's Telum chips empower machine learning (ML) models to conduct high volumes of inferencing for real-time sensitive transactions and detect fraud, and Apple is reportedly working on AI technologies that will detect stress, depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. In fact, Gartner expects the AI software market to reach $62 billion next year. That said, AI development is always under heavy scrutiny due to its potential for misuse and bias. In the past, AI models have demonstrated racial bias, deepfakes have been used for malicious purposes, and there is also speculation that the technology may soon put many people out of a job. To tackle these problems, UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) member states recently signed a document that defines the values and principles needed to ensure the healthy development of AI.
