Over the past year, theres been no shortage of scientists, tech CEOs, billionaires and lawmakers sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence (AI) and now, even the Pope wants to talk about it too.

In a hefty 3,412-word letter dated Dec. 8, Pope Francis the head of the Catholic Church warned of the potential dangers of AI to humanity and what needs to be done to control it. The letter came as the Roman Catholic Church prepares to celebrate World Day of Peace on Jan. 1, 2024.

Pope Francis wants to see an international treaty to regulate AI to ensure it is developed and used ethically otherwise, we risk falling into the spiral of a technological dictatorship.

The threat of AI arises when developers have a desire for profit or thirst for power that overpowers ones wish to exist freely and peacefully, the Pope explained.

Technologies that fail to do this aggravate inequalities and conflicts and, therefore, can never count as true progress, he added.

Meanwhile, the emergence of AI-generated fake news is a serious problem, added the Pope, which could lead to growing mistrust in the media.

The Pope was recently a victim of generative AI when a fake image surfaced of him wearing a luxury white puffer jacket went viral in March.

Pope Francis, however, also acknowledged the benefits of AI in enabling more efficient manufacturing, easier transport and more ready markets, as well as a revolution in processes of accumulating, organizing and confirming data.

But hes also concerned that AI will benefit those controlling it and leave a large portion of the population without employment to pay for a living:

Pope Francis has long warned about the misuse of emerging technologies, stating that both theoretical and practical moral principles need to be embedded into them. He is, however, often seen as more tech-savvy and forward-looking than his predecessors.

Pope Francis recent remarks come after a year of outcry from all corners of the world over the potential dangers of AI.

Tech leaders, such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, have expressed concern about how rapidly AI is advancing. It prompted them and more than 2,600 tech leaders and researchers to sign a petitionto pause AI developments in March 2023, sharing concerns that AI more advanced than GPT-4 can pose profound risks to society and humanity.

United States President Joe Biden has also expressed concerns. His administration released an executive order on the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence in late October to address risks posed by AI.

Even Hollywood filmmakers and celebrities are adding their thoughts to the issue.

In July, Canadian filmmaker James Cameron reportedly said he had been warning of the dangers of AI since The Terminator, which he directed nearly 40 years ago.

I warned you guys in 1984 and you didn't listen, Cameron told CTV News.

I think the weaponization of AI is the biggest danger [...] I think that we will get into the equivalent of a nuclear arms race with AI, and if we dont build it, the other guys are for sure going to build it, and so then itll escalate, he added.

Even the Pope has something to say about artificial intelligence - Cointelegraph

While artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm, many have expressed anxieties over the technologys rapid acceptance by the business community. Even though the benefits of platforms such as ChatGPT are clear, there remain many unknowns that make AI adoption difficult, especially for entrepreneurs and owners of smaller companies.

On this episode of The Small Business Show, host Jim Fitzpatrick is joined by Gene Marks, author, tech columnist for Forbes and CEO of The Marks Group. Marks recently covered artificial intelligence in an article examining the pros and cons of using generative text platforms for accounting purposes. Now, he shares his insights into the potential challenges of embracing AI and why he still believes the technology is a powerful tool for business owners.

Key Takeaways

1.Although it is easy to feel pessimistic about the proliferation of artificial intelligence, Marks notes that it is nothing more than a developers tool: a technology that is evolving into an experts assistant.

2.Unfortunately, artificial intelligence still has limitations, math being one of them. When providing subjective information, generative text platforms excel, but when providing objective data, AI tools struggle to maintain accuracy, although the technology is likely to improve.

3.Rather than using artificial intelligence as a replacement for human editing, Marks recommends that entrepreneurs use generative text platforms as a means for handling grunt work and lowering the costs of hiring writers.

4.Google is also leveraging artificial intelligence to assist entrepreneurs. Google My Business, for example, can direct customers to localized brands based on data collected from small businesses.

5.Marks notes that the question of when it is a good time to start a business depends on the business being opened. Not all enterprises will be successful at all times, which is why entrepreneurs must select their industry carefully and make their decisions based on local factors rather than national ones.

Exploring the limitations of artificial intelligence for businesses Gene Marks - Atlanta Small Business Network

If 2023 was the year artificial intelligence became a household topic of conversation, its in many ways because of Sam Altman, CEO of the artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI. Altman, who was named TIMEs 2023 CEO of the Year spoke candidly about his November oustingand reinstatementat OpenAI, how AI threatens to contribute to disinformation, and the rapidly advancing technologys future potential in a wide-ranging conversation with TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs as part of TIMEs A Year in TIME event on Tuesday.

Altman shared that his mid-November sudden removal from OpenAI proved a learning experienceboth for him and the company at large. We always said that some moment like this would come, said Altman. I didnt think it was going to come so soon, but I think we are stronger for having gone through it.

Altman insists that the experience ultimately made the company strongerand proved that OpenAIs success is a team effort. Its been extremely painful for me personally, but I just think its been great for OpenAI. Weve never been more unified, he said. As we get closer to artificial general intelligence, as the stakes increase here, the ability for the OpenAI team to operate in uncertainty and stressful times should be of interest to the world.

I think everybody involved in this, as we get closer and closer to super intelligence, gets more stressed and more anxious, he explained of how his firing came about. The lesson he came away with: We have to make changes. We always said that we didnt want AGI to be controlled by a small set of people, we want it to be democratized. And we clearly got that wrong. So I think if we don't improve our governance structure, if we dont improve the way we interact with the world, people shouldnt [trust OpenAI]. But were very motivated to improve that.

The technology has limitless potential, Altman saysI think AGI will be the most powerful technology humanity has yet inventedparticularly in democratizing access to information globally. If you think about the cost of intelligence and the equality of intelligence, the cost falling, the quality increasing by a lot, and what people can do with that, he said, it's a very different world. Its the world that sci-fi has promised us for a long timeand for the first time, I think we could start to see what thats gonna look like.

Still, like any other previous powerful technology, that will lead to incredible new things, he says, but there are going to be real downsides.

Altman admits that there are challenges that demand close attention. One particular concern to be wary of, with 2024 elections on the horizon, is how AI stands to influence democracies. Whereas election interference circulating on social media might look straightforward todaytroll farmsmake one great meme, and that spreads outAltman says that AI-fueled disinformation stands to become far more personalized and persuasive: A thing that Im more concerned about is what happens if an AI reads everything youve ever written online and then right at the exact moment, sends you one message customized for you that really changes the way you think about the world.

Despite the risks, Altman believes that, if deployment of AI is safe and placed responsibly in the hands of people, which he says is OpenAIs mission, the technology has the potential to create a path where the world gets much more abundant and much better every year.

I think 2023 was the year we started to see that, and in 2024, well see way more of it, and by the time the end of this decade rolls around, I think the world is going to be in an unbelievably better place, he said. Though he also noted: No one knows what happens next. I think the way technology goes, predictions are often wrong.

2023: The year we played with artificial intelligence and weren't sure what to do about it - Post Register

by Daniel Johnson

December 16, 2023

Of all computer science doctorates, only 1.6% were awarded to Black doctoral candidates.

In 2019, The Guardian cited a study conducted by NYU, which emphasized the critical need for diversity in the field of artificial intelligence. The urgency behind this issue is increasing as AI becomes increasingly integrated into society, Dana Metaxa, a PhD candidate and a researcher at Stanford University focused on issues of internet and democracy, told the outlet. Essentially, the lack of diversity in AI is concentrating an increasingly large amount of power and capital in the hands of a select subset of people.

As we head into 2024, not much on that front has changed. In November, Wired talked to several prominent women in the artificial intelligence community about why they would not want a seat on the board of OpenAI following Sam Altmans coup. Timnit Gebru, who made waves when Google dismissed her following a warning she issued regarding the companys plans for AI, said that there was a better chance of her returning to Google than joining Altmans board.

Its repulsive to me, Gebru said. I honestly think theres more of a chance that I would go back to GoogleI mean, they wont have me and I wont have themthan me going to OpenAI.

It is in this subsection of artificial intelligence, the field of AI ethics, where women in tech have found a measure of success, but their work in the field often puts them at odds with the white men who control the boards and companies in Silicon Valley. Meredith Whittaker, the president of Signal, an encrypted messaging app, says the problem is really about giving people from diverse backgrounds power to effect change, as opposed to tokenizing their seats at the table.

Were not going to solve the issuethat AI is in the hands of concentrated capital at presentby simply hiring more diverse people to fulfill the incentives of concentrated capital, Whittaker told Wired. I worry about a discourse that focuses on diversity and then sets folks up in rooms with [expletive] Larry Summers without much power.

Black people in particular have felt the brunt of the way artificial intelligence is used by the police, for example.

As BLACK ENTERPRISEpreviously reported, the city of Detroit was sued by a Black woman who was arrested while eight months pregnant because officers used a facial recognition program to tie her to the crime. And, this is just one of many similar incidents.

In a November article for Esquire, Mitchell S. Jackson surmises that this is inescapable as the field of criminal justice insists on pushing to use artificial intelligence, even though the datasets those programs will use are filled with negative biases that will inevitably work against Black people.

Jackson writes, AI in policing is being implemented into that already flawed system. Its more dangerous to Black and brown people because the persistent lack of diversity in the STEM fieldsfrom which AI comesis apt to generate more built-in biases against people of color, the same people who are overpoliced and underprotected.

He continued, AI in policing is hella dangerous to my people because it operates on datacrime reports, arrest records, license plates, imagesthat is itself steeped in biases.

According to a 2023 report conducted by the Code.org Advocacy Coalition, only 78% of Black high school students high school students had access to foundational computer science courses, compared to 89% of Asian high school students and 82% of white high school students. A 2022 survey from the Computing Research Association says that two-thirds of all computer science doctorates went to non-permanent U.S. residents for whom no ethnic background is available, but almost 19% of those degrees went to white doctoral candidates and 10.1 % were awarded to Asian doctoral candidates. Only 1.6% were awarded to Black doctoral candidates, which illustrates why the diversity numbers in technology companies are as abysmal as they are.

Calvin Lawrence, the author of Hidden In White Sight, a book examining how artificial intelligence contributes to systemic racism, spoke to CNN about how the biases in AI are also a product of a lack of access. Lawrence explained that in order to get more Black people into the field, you have to at least present it as a path they can take.

You certainly dont have a lot of Black folks or data scientists participating in the process of deploying and designing AI solutions, Lawrence said. The only way you can get them to have seats at the table, you have to educate them.

Diversity In Artificial Intelligence Could Help Make It More Equitable - Black Enterprise

Name one time you went to ChatGPT and said What should I cook today?, or you said in your long-awaited weekend Where should I go today. You might have had a memory in your head of you saying that to ChatGPT. But the thing is, how reliable do we have to be with this new awaited technology?

As of 2023, ChatGPT attracted 1.7 million users. now that is a lot of people. now let's look at an example of Bing. As of March 2023, Bing AI had 1 million users. now we see how people are dependent on their AI engines. But are these 1.7 or 1 million using this free power safely and honestly? 43% of college students have used ChatGPT or similar AI tools. And 26% of K-12 teachers have caught a student cheating with ChatGPT. So it is widespread these days to see students using ChatGPT on online standardized tests. but there are many things we need to worry about AI.

Have you watched the movie Terminator? If yes, you know exactly what I mean when I say the AI revolution. if not, then you might have no idea what I am talking about. In the movie Terminator, robots gain Consciousness somehow, and they wage a war with humans. Their goal was to kill all the humans and have total superiority. now people have been scared of how much AI has grown and grown. From robots that could only walk, to robots that can be your friend, it is pretty disturbing to see how much this tech has grown. But you do not have to worry about the Robo apocalypse. This will never happen.

Have you wondered about a life where after you wake up from your bed, a Robo housemaid is cleaning up your room for you? Then you walk downstairs and you see a robo-cook preparing breakfast for you. Believe it or not, this is already happening at this point in the generation. Soon everything will be fully automated and we will not have to do any work. But have you even realized the cons of this happening? This will immediately tip over the economy and will result in absolute war and riots if we do not do anything about it. This is already when big companies are firing employees to replace robots with them. But are you worried that these big companies will someday fire you? but you do not have to worry, because these companies have got it in hand.

Are you kind of scared and disturbed about this new tech after reading this article? That is okay because everyone has a reason to be scared of this new tech. So the way that I think we should use this technology to make the world a better place worth living in today. And the way we achieve that is by working hard and not giving up.

Ann Cavoukian is executive director of the Global Privacy and Security by Design Centre and the former three-term information and privacy commissioner of Ontario.

A few decades ago, artificial intelligence wasnt nearly as pervasive and neither were the risks that come with it. Fast forward to today, and both the potential and the pitfalls of this incredible technology are glaringly obvious. It is no wonder the world has become consumed with finding a solution that is able to mitigate the risks of using data, while allowing for benefits to be realized in a sustainable way as technology evolves.

That is why the Privacy by Design principles, which I first began developing in the nineties as the way forward, are essential. Newly codified by the International Organization for Standardization, this approach is now the international standard for data privacy management and protection.

The Privacy by Design principles, or ISO 31700-1, have the power to guide us toward a future where innovation does not slow down and privacy isnt an afterthought. Rather, they ensure that privacy is ingrained in the DNA of technology and built into every layer right from the beginning, at the design stage.

While local laws may differ from country to country, principles are borderless. Adhering to this internationally-recognized standard will be the only way that our global community can set itself up for a future that leverages data to its fullest potential, in a transparent and responsible way.

The current age has sometimes been accurately referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, where technology, connectivity, analytics and automation inform everything we do in business and at home. But theres one caveat: Such a transformation cannot be successful if it comes at the expense of our data privacy.

This digital revolution certainly offers the promise of convenience, and, more importantly, the opportunity to use technology to do social good. But with the infinite volume of data we share with companies (sometimes even unknowingly), there are understandable concerns around how it will be managed and respected.

Canadians can be proud that the first program certified in ISO 31700-1 in the world is TELUSs Data for Good program. It serves as a global example for business, industry and government on how to ensure that data is respected at every stage of innovation.

The groundbreaking program gives researchers access to high-quality, strongly de-identified and aggregated datasets to address societal issues, such as developing efficient transportation systems in response to natural disasters, or supporting evidence-based environmental sustainability initiatives.

The program was built with Privacy by Design principles embedded into every layer to make sure that it allows researchers to access useful data. But it does not put data, and specifically privacy, at risk far from it. With these principles in place, they are helping to build trust in technology and create a better world.

In an era where citizens recognize and care about their data more than ever before, it is critical that we get this right. There are organizations that recognize the importance of fostering trust in the digital world and lead the way forward by collaborating at an international level to develop the cross-functional co-operation the world needs. Doing so requires a commitment to education, transparency, accountability, responsible innovation, participatory design and dedication to ensuring that respect for data is always the first priority.

We must champion these principles at an international scale to protect our rights and set technology up for sustainable success especially now, as AIs use grows exponentially and legislation is being developed in jurisdictions across the globe. Without these principles, we simply wont realize the full potential of our innovation.

Privacy by Design is not just a good idea it is essential to mitigate the potential risks of AI and protect our digital future.
