Issues with AI
There are valid concerns about the usage of AI
- Environmental Impact of Data Centers: running data centers requires access to a large amount of power, as well as water for cooling the servers. Example: Microsoft is restarting a reactor located at Three Mile Island, site of a partial nuclear meltdown in the 70s
- Dis/Misinformation: generative AI tools have the ability to create false narratives and informatioon can be used as propaganda for bad actos. Example: The Disinformation Machine: How Susceptible Are We to AI Propaganda?
- Bias: generative AI tools are only as good as the data they are trained on - for good or bad. Whatever biases were in the data will also be replicated in the results, sometimes unknowingly. Example: Shedding light on AI bias with real world examples
- Ethics in the Age of AICheck out this report detailing findings by the Markkula Center about how Americans feel about Ai from an ethical standpoint.
