Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have historically been used as tools that execute narrowly defined tasks. Yet recent advances in AI have unlocked possibilities for a new class of models that genuinely collaborate with humans in complex reasoning, from conceptualizing problems to brainstorming solutions. Such AI thought partners enable novel forms of collaboration and extended cognition, yet they also pose major risks-including and beyond risks of typical AI tools and agents. In this commentary, we systematically identify risks of AI thought partners through a novel framework that identifies risks at multiple levels of analysis, including Real-time, Individual, and Societal risks arising from collaborative cognition (RISc). We leverage this framework to propose concrete metrics for risk evaluation, and finally suggest specific mitigation strategies for developers and policymakers. As AI thought partners continue to proliferate, these strategies can help prevent major harms and ensure that humans actively benefit from productive thought partnerships.

CEO of Codeproof, a cybersecurity firm that specializes in providing easy-to-use, modern mobile device management software to businesses. As 2023 begins, businesses must anticipate and prepare for evolving cybersecurity trends and threats. The increase in remote work, cloud usage, AI and the IoT expands the attack surface, making it imperative to stay alert. They should also educate employees on identifying risks and cybersecurity practices, as well as maintaining strong password hygiene. Phishing uses fake websites to obtain personal information.

Safety on a construction site is the most important concern of any construction effort. The dangers and risks associated are very real, with workplace injuries being proportionally higher than in any other private industry. With this unconscionable number in mind, decision-makers in the construction industry must explore new tools and strategies for mitigating risks. Fortunately, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools is allowing for safer sites. Here, we'll explore these advancements in AI and how they are revolutionizing the safety and security of construction sites to create a more desirable working environment for all employees.

Truly malicious internal threats can often be treated much like external threats using the tools and backups already in place. But how does a firm proactively identify the softer threats -- which may be just as dangerous as the malicious threats and can cripple a firm just as effectively?

In today's post-EHR health environment, the amount of data generated by digitization is staggering. Dozens of systems feed data across healthcare organizations daily, and IDC predicts that health data volumes will continue to grow at a rate of 48% annually.[1] Yet, despite advances toward becoming a data-rich and data-driven industry, medical errors are still the third-leading cause of death in the US alone.[2] Though artificial intelligence (AI) is still in early stages of adoption in healthcare, its exceptional ability to manage big data makes it a powerful weapon in the fight against medical errors. But don't worry--robots aren't about to replace clinicians anytime soon. Humans and machines are complementary, as humans have ingenuity and emotional intelligence, for example, while machines are better at tackling repetitive, high volume tasks where accuracy is vital.
