Davos, Switzerland – from top to bottom of the promenade World Economic Forum This week, leaders agree on a point concerning artificial intelligence.
It is damn powerful and begins to have a significant impact on the way in which business is carried out and will be carried out – think of AI about to make human call centers and HR services obsolete.
What the leaders fail to agree on is if AI is already out of control and beyond the point of being successfully regulated or having appropriate safeguards.
“I am not sure that the AI is out of control,” said Antonio Neri, CEO of Hpe, at Yahoo Finance during the annual gathering of the main business leaders. “I think there are cases of use that sometimes people want to present (for) … their own advantages, to see, hey, that’s the potential. But the reality is that companies are very intelligent. “
“They have a very responsible approach to what they do first, because they must understand the return on investment of this technology.”
Another Big Tech leader with whom I discussed said that AI already escaped regulations. “It could be legislated and not regulated,” the director told me.
Technology is the most uncontrollable in social media societies such as Meta (Meta) and risks harming society, joked the executive.
Another high -ranking industrial CEO told me that AI had become too powerful and that companies had to think in depth in the way of integrating guarantees for end users.
Whatever the side of the barrier, it is clear that AI is starting to invade the offices with the bulldozer. And perhaps the situation becomes uncontrollable when leaders are looking for cost savings favorable to investors and automatize subordinate tasks.
