With the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily existence, it's imperative that we engage in discussions about its potential impact on society and our day-to-day experiences.
AI can be beneficial in a variety of ways, but it also has a number of drawbacks and risks that must be addressed. Discover the dangers and risks of AI.
How Artificial Intelligence Will Change in 2050?venkatvajradhar1
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence has moved from a sci-fi dream to a critical part of our daily lives. We use AI systems to interact with our phones and speakers through voice assistants like Tesla-made Siri, Alexa, and Google Car, Amazon monitors our browsing habits, and then products we think we want. Google also decides what to buy and what results from we want to give us based on our search functionality. Artificially intelligent algorithms are here and they have already changed our lives
THE SOCIAL IMPACTS OF AI AND HOW TO MITIGATE ITS HARMSTekRevol LLC
In the wake of mass automation, UBIs might be the answer low-income families and citizens might be looking towards. As automation across industries increases, the induced fear within citizens of its impact is severe. From privacy concerns through rogue AI to doomsday scenarios to more realistic concerns of misused AI and loss of jobs, pop-culture led paranoia has shaken up the world. These concerns have to be dealt with, and tech companies and businesses need to have a robust moral framework under which decisions are made, to ensure any negative externalities of implementing AI are mitigated to the maximum degree. Artificial Intelligence is a great tool to optimize businesses and make our world more efficient, but the moral imperative on all of us is to ensure it happens sides by side human sustainability, not at its expense.
Regulating Generative AI: A Pathway to Ethical and Responsible ImplementationIJCI JOURNAL
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more prevalent in our daily lives, and its potential applications are practically limitless. However, as with any technology, there are concerns about how AI could be misused or abused. One of the most serious concerns is the potential for discrimination, particularly against women or minorities, when AI systems are used for tasks like job hiring. Additionally, there are concerns about privacy and security, as AI could be used to monitor people's movements or launch cyberattacks. To address these concerns, regulations must be developed to ensure that AI is developed and used ethically and responsibly. These regulations should address issues like safety, privacy, security, and discrimination. Finally, it is important to educate the public about AI and how to use it safely and responsibly. In this paper, I will examine the AI regulations and challenges that exist today, particularly in the United States. Two regulations I will focus on are the AI in Government Act of 2020 and the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020. Additionally, I will examine two Executive Orders that have addressed the issue of AI in the federal government. Finally, I will conclude with some policy considerations and recommendations for federal agencies.
Edelman’s 2019 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Survey compares the U.S. general public’s perceptions of AI with those of senior tech executives who have a front row seat on AI development and deployment.
Respondents in both survey groups clearly see the potential upsides of AI, but also significant problems; 60 percent of the general public and 54 percent of tech executives agree that regulation of AI is critical for its safe development.
While 91 percent of tech executives and 84 percent of the general public believe that AI constitutes the next technology revolution, there are very real concerns about its impact on society, business and government. These range from smart toys that could invade children’s privacy to negative impacts on the poor to a loss of human intellectual capabilities.
About a third of both groups believe AI-powered “deepfake” videos (videos or audio recordings that are doctored to alter reality) could lead to an information war that, in turn, might lead to a shooting war (30 percent of the general population; 33 percent of tech executives).
Among the key findings:
54 percent of the general public and 43 percent of tech executives say AI will hurt the poor, and 67 percent and 75 percent, respectively, believe it will benefit the wealthy;
71 percent of the general public and 65 percent of tech executives worry that AI will lead to a loss of human intellectual capabilities;
74 percent of the general population and 72 percent of tech executives say that smarter AI-powered devices will lessen the need for people to interact with others, leading to more isolation;
81 percent within the general population and 77 percent of tech executives believe that advances in AI will likely cause a reactionary response from a society that feels threatened;
51 percent of the general population and 45 percent of tech executives state that AI-powered deepfake videos could mean that no information is believable and that they are highly corrosive to public trust.
The research was developed by the Edelman AI Center of Expertise with input from the World Economic Forum.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has come a long way since its inception and is about to take the world by storm in 2024. It's no secret that A.I. has been a game-changer across various industries, from autonomous cars to personalized healthcare, and its impact is set to soar with the anticipated 'Leap Forward' in 2024.
The A.I.'s ‘Leap Forward’ 2024 will undoubtedly bring a revolutionary change for technology and society. It holds massive promise for our future and is a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. However, it also introduces potential challenges and ethical considerations, adding to the importance of responsible development and deployment.

Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge OrganisationCollabor8now Ltd
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, “social” will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with “experts” and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of silo’d structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. With the growing
influence of artificial
intelligence (AI) in our
daily existence, it's
imperative that we
engage in discussions
about its potential
impact on society and
our day-to-day
experiences.
4. Artificial intelligence is currently
exerting a significant influence on
society, and this influence is
expected to magnify as the
technology advances further.
However, it's important to
acknowledge that not all of these
effects are necessarily beneficial. To
shed light on this, we've compiled a
list of six disadvantages of artificial
intelligence that merit our
attention.
6. Artificial intelligence can exhibit faults in
various ways, underscoring the crucial need
for transparency. Issues can arise from
inaccurate or inadequately cleaned input
data, or even from the inadvertent selection
of biased data sets during model training by
data scientists and engineers. However, the
primary challenge lies in the absence of clear
visibility: the inability to understand why AI
is underperforming or, at times, the
unawareness that it is indeed performing
poorly. In contrast, conventional application
development incorporates quality assurance
and testing processes, supported by tools
that swiftly identify and rectify any bugs.
8. AI can create highly accurate profiles by
analyzing personal data, particularly location
history. Algorithms excel at recognizing
patterns and can predict future locations with
even greater precision when incorporating
data from friends and social contacts.
Sometimes, the risks of AI are underestimated.
Even if you believe you have nothing to hide,
sharing personal information may not sit well
with you. Think of it as not wanting to live in a
glass-walled house. Would you be comfortable
sharing your device's location history? What
about your teenage daughter's data? It's likely
you'd prefer not to have her location data,
including predictions, publicly disclosed.
Remember, information is power, and
relinquishing information means surrendering
power.
10. The impact of automation and AI on the
job market raises concerns about
potential unemployment and job shifts.
Experts have varying predictions, with
estimates suggesting that anywhere
from 3 to 14 percent of the global
workforce, ranging from 75 million to
375 million workers, may need to change
occupations and acquire new skills by
2030. This divergence in predictions
underscores the lack of consensus
among technology and business experts
regarding the future of the labor market,
making it challenging to determine the
exact number of jobs that will be
affected.
12. The growth of disinformation, already witnessed due to
artificial intelligence, is a significant concern. In 2020,
Extinction Rebellion used AI to create a deepfake,
altering a genuine video of Belgian Prime Minister
Sophie Wilmès to spread false information.
Deepfakes are expected to play a growing role in
targeted disinformation campaigns, jeopardizing
democratic processes and fostering societal division.
Additionally, online bots can generate fake content like
altered news articles and tweets to promote deceptive
agendas. For example, AI tool GPT-3 recently crafted
tweets aiming to sow doubt about climate change.
These technologies, coupled with figures like Trump
labeling the media as fake, could lead to what The
Atlantic termed the "collapse of reality." With deepfakes
and online bots disseminating disinformation, there's a
risk of blurred lines between reality and fiction, eroding
trust in our political institutions.
14. Big Tech companies, led by Google since 2007, have
acquired around 30 AI firms, establishing a significant
monopoly in AI technology. However, Google is not the
sole player in this scenario. In 2016, Google, Apple,
Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon, along with major
Chinese tech giants, collectively invested approximately
$30 billion out of an estimated global total of $39 billion
in AI-related research, development, and acquisitions.
The widespread acquisition of AI startups globally raises
concerns as these tech giants wield significant influence
in shaping the direction of AI technology. With their
dominance in areas like search, social media, online
retail, and app stores, these companies hold near-
monopolies on user data and are emerging as primary AI
suppliers to the broader industry. This concentration of
power poses risks, including the potential for large tech
companies to influence democratically elected
governments.
16. While AI can benefit the environment, such as in
smart grids and sustainable cities, it also poses an
environmental drawback due to its energy-intensive
nature. A 2019 study highlighted the substantial
carbon footprint of a specific AI type, particularly
deep learning in natural language processing, driven
by the energy demands of its hardware. Experts note
that training a single AI model emits about 300,000
kg of CO2, equivalent to 125 round-trip flights from
NYC to Beijing or five times an average American
car's lifetime emissions. It's worth noting that
emissions aren't solely tied to model training; the
infrastructure supporting AI deployment, like data
centers and material transportation, also
significantly impacts the environment.
