‘AI brings many benefits, but also significant risks,’ warns Princeton’s Arvind Narayanan at HTLS 2024

Hindustan Times  

As artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace, its benefits and risks are becoming more apparent, according to Arvind Narayanan, Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Professor Narayanan discussed the growing influence of AI, its potential pitfalls, and the necessary steps for responsible use and regulation. Professor Arvind Narayanan acknowledged the transformative potential of AI, especially with its increasing accessibility. However, they still face serious challenges, including issues related to bias and “hallucinations” — when AI systems produce incorrect or fabricated information. Narayanan spoke about generative AI being trained primarily on Western text and images, leading to limitations in tasks like Indian language processing.

There’s a truism that helps me whenever the new big tech thing has every brain melting: …

ChatGPT, Open AI’s new chatbot, is, quite frankly, amazing. Generative AI — machine learning systems that respond to a user’s prompts by generating text or images — looks poised to revolutionise the media, education, and communication more generally. Lack of responsibility, not reliability There is, however, a deeper reason why the outputs of generative AI are bullshit, which also applies …
