Why We Should Be Careful With AI
Datafloq
October 11, 2019
The development of AI comes with huge risks. Although extensive testing and governance processes are required, not all organisations will do so for various reasons. However, as a society we should ensure that all organisations – and governments – will focus on developing Responsible AI. This includes using unbiased training data, to minimise the influence of biased developers, to have a mixed data approach to include the wider context, to develop AI that can explain itself and to instil ethics into AI. A daunting task, but one we cannot ignore if we want to benefit from artificial intelligence in the long run.

When organisations adopt new technologies, the context of that technology plays an important role. How people deal with the material properties of new technology is informed by their previous experience of using or not using similar technologies in the past. Since blockchain is still a new technology, how organisations adopt this technology also depends on how existing and related challenges are resolved. These affect how organisations apply blockchain and smart contracts, and whether the design and decision-making capabilities within will or can change at short notice.

Knowing the amount of paperwork required to send a product from farm to plate, it is remarkable that we have managed to develop global supply chains.
