#artificialintelligence

The inventor of the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, recently warned that artificial intelligence could develop decision-making capabilities that impact the fairness of economic systems, if allowed to operate at a high level of business. Although data gathered by artificial intelligence is often used to inform decisions made at board-level, such as the predicted growth of demand for a product within a particular industry, AI is a long way from calling the shots. Presently, decision-making AI in offices remains limited to repeatable, mundane tasks like formatting and filing documents. A recent report from PwC predicts that up to 30% of jobs in the UK are at risk of being taken over by AI and robots by early 2030. While this might come as a surprise to some, IT departments will already be aware that they need to prepare their systems for the technology.
