The current consolidation of artificial intelligence in our society brings with it a set of opportunities and challenges on which to reflect. Are you in?
Artificial intelligence does not stop evolving and the battle to conquer the next advance is a constant. But, what path awaits this technology? What will it bring us in the future that it does not already do so?
A whole series of opportunity and challenge we show you below, and on which we encourage you to reflect for a while. Do you dare to do it?
A world full of uses
What uses we will give to artificial intelligence is a question that is in the air. There are those who have a more hopeful vision, and those who, on the contrary, see a somewhat black future with the implementation of this technology.
Choosing to see the glass half full, there are many fields where artificial intelligence will take a positive use for all of us. Among them, the following stand out:
-
The world of banking: and who hasn’t had an uphill struggle to go outside before the bank closes for a silly doubt? Well, thanks to the application of artificial intelligence, many of the most everyday activities of a customer with their bank are being transferred to the online world. Digital banking is already a reality that is present around us and on which, the vast majority, we take advantage when making a transfer, a payment or consulting the latest movements.
-
Public services: from education to government. The use of artificial intelligence has no borders, and on its way to improve people’s lives has found countless uses in public services. Improve relationship between the citizen and the administration, through easy and useful self-service technologies; making it easier to retail sales, with the use of merchandising, offers and promotions more consistent and effective, depending on your ability to predict; or optimize the education sector from an improvement in the control of relations between teachers and students, among others.
-
Medicine: they are known by many milestone that artificial intelligence is carrying out in the field of medicine. Predicting a heart attack, microrobots to improve the results of an operation, the possibility of controlling the clinical history of a patient in an automated way, etc.There are many advances that have already taken place in the medical field, but there is still much to come in the improvement of our health.
-
The media: television, radio, newspapers … Information is a very juicy field for artificial intelligence that has known how to exploit it. Knowing the audience is vital for the media that are nourished by the possibilities that this technology allows them in order to carry out, for example, a scheduled marketing for a certain target, know when to exploit certain contain, or give your audience the possibility to interact with the medium and make him the protagonist.
-
Telecom: improving the customer experience, greater control and knowledge of content and network security are just some of the examples of progress that artificial intelligence has brought to the world of telecommunications. The virtual assistants they are a clear example of this. Alexa, Siri, Aura… And who does not like to have someone always waiting and at your disposal to make your life a little easier?
Risks are not erased from the map
All future opportunities presented by this technology are welcomed with some respect. The risks and challenges it brings cannot be erased at a stroke. Because prevention is better than cure, we want to help technology by collecting the most important dangers it could face.
-
Security: the stopping potential fraud, cybersecurity and control of risks arising from its use it has become the main challenge of this technology.
-
Employment: with the implementation of artificial intelligence, human labor is being replaced by machines. It is then time to ask how to fit them into new jobs or what new jobs will arise as a result of these changes. But quiet. We won’t be out of work. The artistic capacity of a painter, a musician, a sculptor… how can artificial intelligence achieve this?
-
Ethics: Is artificial intelligence evil?. It is a question that many ask themselves, but for which, at least for the moment, there is no answer. Its ability to respond is and will be superior to human, but and his ability to ask questions? There the human mind has no competition. What ethics can reign in artificial intelligence? What critical capacity will it possess?
Undoubtedly, a whole series of challenges about which, for the moment, little can be predicted. And only time will reveal how and to what extent artificial intelligence will overcome the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead today.
