Has artificial intelligence really become intelligent? There’s a debate raging between different groups about whether machines can truly demonstrate creativity, problem solving, planning and other intelligent characteristics.
However, these arguments risk distracting us from the important decisions we need to make about integrating AI into society, writes Andrew Rogoyski of the Surrey Institute of People-Centred AI at the University of Surrey. AI is threatening incomes in the creative industries such as art, film and music. It is increasingly being used in medicine, for such purposes as screening blood tests. It is also being used in warfare, such as making drones more able to
make their own decisions on the battlefield.
Rogoyski explains how we can all get involved in these decisions in the workplace and elsewhere, helping ensure that AI works for people, rather than the other way around.
