AI inequality is real
It is high time we move from science fiction to the real-world application of AI
says Anne Bouverot at the opening ceremony of the AI Action Summit in Paris.
I partially agree with her statement about focusing on the real-world application of AI, as I believe many people are still contemplating the possibilities AI can offer.
The reason I say I partially agree is that, here in Asia, many companies have already begun exploring how AI can not only boost productivity but also provide a lasting competitive advantage.
This divide will also manifest in other ways, such as the gap between the haves and have-nots.
Christy Hoffman, on AI becoming “another engine of inequality”:
Without worker representation, AI-driven productivity gains risk turning the technology into yet another engine of inequality, further straining our democracies.
This insight aligns with my belief that, without proper training and the right tools made available to those who need them most, we will see an even greater concentration of power and wealth among a select few.
