FUTURE PROBLEMS OF ARTIFICIAL

INTELLIGENCE

Job Losses:
● Between 2023 and 2028, around 44% of workers' skills will be
disrupted by AI.
● Women are more likely than men to be impacted by AI in their jobs.
● The AI skills gap between genders puts women at a higher risk of job
loss.
● Without proper upskilling initiatives, widespread AI adoption could
lead to higher unemployment rates and limited opportunities for
marginalized individuals. Biases:
● AI algorithms can reflect the biases of those who train them.
● Facial recognition technology has exhibited biases favoring
lighter-skinned individuals, thereby discriminating against people of
color with darker complexions.
● If biases are not addressed, AI tools can perpetuate social
inequalities and discriminatory practices.

Deepfakes and Misinformation:

● Deepfakes, realistic synthetic media, blur the line between reality and
fiction.
● Difficulty in identifying deepfakes can lead to the spread of
misinformation and pose risks to individuals and countries.
● Deepfakes have been used for political propaganda, financial fraud,
and other malicious purposes.
Data Privacy:
● Training AI models with public and proprietary data increases the risk
of data breaches.
● Breaches could expose consumers' personal information and leave
organizations vulnerable to legal and reputational consequences.
● Concerns arise regarding the potential misuse of generative AI tools
and the protection of intellectual property rights.

Automated Weapons:
● AI in automated weapons systems poses a threat as they may not
distinguish between combatants and civilians.
● Irresponsible use of AI-powered weapons could put large groups of
people at risk.

Superior Intelligence:
● Concerns exist about the technological singularity, where
superintelligent machines may alter human existence through
enslavement or eradication.
● Complex AI systems may lack transparency, making it challenging to
understand their decision-making processes and address mistakes
or unintended behaviours.

Additional Questions:
Brief Description:

Disadvantages of AI
While artificial intelligence has its benefits, the technology also comes with risks
and potential dangers to consider.

Job Displacement
AI’s abilities to automate processes, generate rapid content and work for long
periods of time can mean job displacement for human workers.

Bias and Discrimination

AI models may be trained on data that reflects biased human decisions, leading
to outputs that are biased or discriminatory against certain demographics.

Hallucinations
AI systems may inadvertently “hallucinate” or produce inaccurate outputs when
trained on insufficient or biased data, leading to the generation of false
information.

Privacy Concerns
The data collected and stored by AI systems may be done so without user
consent or knowledge, and may even be accessed by unauthorized individuals in
the case of a data breach.

Ethical Concerns
AI systems may be developed in a manner that isn’t transparent, inclusive or
sustainable, resulting in a lack of explanation for potentially harmful AI decisions
as well as a negative impact on users and businesses.

Environmental Costs
Large-scale AI systems can require a substantial amount of energy to operate
and process data, which increases carbon emissions and water consumption.
