Lisbon's Web Summit: AI not without a dark side
As AI helps scientists improve tasks like
speech recognition, others caution about its potential future threats.
Lisbon, Portugal - Artificial intelligence, or AI, has become a commonplace
technology, helping researchers make improvements to computerised tasks such as
speech recognition and robotics.
Machine learning, a branch of AI, allows the flood of data
collected from devices to be organised, analysed and visualised in an
intelligent fashion.
These powerful insights make products such as fitness trackers and
climate sensors more appealing.
But as the technology evolves, experts are cautioning about the
potential threats AI could pose in the future.
"AI could be used to deal with particular issues around
privacy and surveillance and things like this," Antoine Blondeau, chief
executive of Sentient Technologies, told Al Jazeera at the Web Summit in Lisbon.
