ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the technological landscape and impacted almost every field of endeavor. Predictive AI can help science and industry understand trends in vast amounts of data, create biometric identification systems, and improve business efficiency. Generative AI enables apps to create new documents, music, images, and designs. These and other forms of AI have the potential to disrupt industry, art, and culture. Although many of the concerns about AI are well known, the global and industrial opportunity is too large to pass up, and usage has become ubiquitous. This article focuses on the potential benefits and risks of various AI systems, particularly with regard to bias in the design and implementation of predictive AI, the implications to privacy by both predictive and generative AI, the consequences of inaccurate generative AI content, and the implications of adoption of generative AI if the systems prove effective. The article also addresses efforts by the European Union to adopt regulatory legislation and the US’s alternative strategies for industry self-regulation and federal legislation. Finally, the article identifies steps that industry can take to minimize risks and maximize the benefit of AI adoption.
