ISLAMABAD: Rebecca Finlay, CEO of the global non-profit Partnership on AI (PAI), tells the media that “AI is not good and AI is not bad, but AI is not neutral,” adding that PAI is committed to the “responsible development of AI technologies.”
Rebecca believes that artificial intelligence poses risks — and that organisations should learn from one another and help others avoid the same mishaps by sharing the mistakes they have made in using the technology, according to MIT Sloan Management Review.
“How we successfully make sure that our AI is interacting effectively with humans. We spend a lot of time talking about the technology and where it’s going, but not the question of human-AI interaction,” says Rebecca Finlay.
“At the end of the day, if these systems are going to do what we all hope they can do in terms of driving benefits for people, we need to be thinking about how they work for humans.”
Interdisciplinary expertise
She further said, “From a public policy perspective, that means we need a well-funded public research infrastructure that draws on interdisciplinary expertise from social scientists, sociologists, and organizational behavioral managers, and areas of research that are thinking about how these systems work within human and social structures and settings.”
“There is a lot of focus on technical watermarking of AI and synthetic media. You’ll often hear that watermarking is a way to solve issues related to misinformation and disinformation when it comes to generative media, and what we know is that it’s only one piece of the puzzle,” she commented.
