Future of AI : Promoting Human Well-Being
Odélio Horta Filho , Sales Leader of Digital Solutions , Embratel , says effective regulation of AI is essential to ensure its advances are directed towards elevating human activity and reducing social inequalities – arguing that it is ‘ imperative ’ governments around the world engage in regulating AI to ensure that it respects human rights and democratic values .
AI is quickly becoming one of the most influential and ubiquitous technologies in our contemporary society . Its role is destined to expand further , influencing not only business spheres but also governments around the world .
However , as we venture into this realm of innovation , it is essential to consider not only its economic benefits but also its potential to promote social and human well-being .
The evolution of society is intrinsically linked to the continuous development of AI , robotics and biotechnology .
This point of view , shared by thinkers such as Mustafa Suleyman , author of the book Next Wave , highlights the impressive potential of AI to generate wealth and surpluses .
However , Suleyman also underscores the ethical risks associated with this evolution , emphasizing the importance of responsible technology development .
One of the cornerstones of this responsible development is the pressing need for regulation . Effective regulation of AI is essential to ensure that its advances are directed towards elevating human activity and reducing social inequalities , rather than widening them . Imagine the negative impact that biased algorithms could have on decisions that affect the daily lives of billions of people .
