"AI is a tool that reflects how it was built. And so, if you get a system that is built to do good things, then you have a good AI." ~ Scott Sereboff

In Today’s Episode:

AI is a tool that can reflect the intentions behind its creation. When built to do good things, AI can help supplement human work and provide valuable insights for predictive analytics.

The promise of AI in the IT world is its ability to handle the things we are inherently bad at, such as monitoring large networks and spotting patterns in data.

While some jobs may be replaced or changed by AI, there is still a need for human emotion in fields such as art and music.

The unintended consequences of AI can be seen in the White Castle lawsuit, where the collection of employee fingerprints has led to a privacy lawsuit.

As AI continues to be integrated into various fields, it is important to consider its potential impact on privacy and take caution in its use.
