‘AI’s benefits to humanity are enormous, we need social mechanisms to deal with the problems it creates’

Artificial intelligence, unarguably, has been transforming the lives of people in ways that were unimaginable till recently. Dr. Raj Reddy, Moza Bint Nasser University Professor of Computer Science and Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University and Padma Bhushan awardee, has been a strong proponent of AI and the promises it holds for the world. He spoke about the potential of AI to bridge literacy gaps and language divide and eliminate poverty and hunger with the help of AI-applied technologies that may aid in facilitating better food, energy and water security, medical care and education. One of the interesting ideas proposed by Dr. Reddy was taking the help of AI to avoid future lockdowns. Talking about misinformation, he proposed delaying social media postings by 24 hours during which AI technologies can be utilised to weed out deep fakes and malicious content.
