20. Accenture recommends
— To fulfill the promise of AI as a new factor of production that can
reignite growth,Accenture recommends the following steps be
taken to help navigate the complexity of issues:
◦ Prepare the next generation – integrate human intelligence with
machine intelligence so they can successfully co-exist in a two-way learning
relationship and reevaluate the type of knowledge and skills required for the
future.
◦ Encourage AI-powered regulation – update and create adaptive,
self-improving laws to close the gap between the pace of technological change
and the pace of regulatory response.
◦ Advocate a code of ethics for AI – ethical debates should be
supplemented by tangible standards and best practices in the development and
use of intelligent machines.
◦ Address the redistribution effects – policymakers should highlight
how AI can result in tangible benefits and preemptively address any perceived
downsides of AI, helping groups disproportionately affected by changes of
employment and incomes.

21. Challenges
— Current AI is nothing more than a machine that has a
capability to learn.
◦ AI should not only be able to learn and reason, it should also be able
to interact and react.
— AI platforms should do more than answer simple questions.
They should be able to learn at scale, reason with purpose,
and naturally interact with humans.They should gain
knowledge over time as they continue to learn from their
interactions, creating new opportunities for business and
positively impacting society.
— AI will result in net job gain. Reskill for new job role to
work with AI
