The AI imperative: Why regulation can’t wait

New Indian Express  

Famous English mathematician Alan Turing once said, “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing it was human.” The same thought was encapsulated in the rigorous Turing Test, where a human interrogates an entity. But modern technological research has pushed the boundaries of innovation in intelligent computing, corroborated by the fact that multiple programmes like chatbot Eugene Goostman and OpenAI’s GPT-4 have passed the test. AI systems have exacerbated societal biases because of the biased data they are fed without any recognition of historical context or social injustice. Further, with the growing use of sophisticated AI systems, various jobs have become redundant, and more will follow suit.
