🌋 Is AI the Next Major Global Risk?
posted 10 Jan 2024
The World Economic Forum's recent global risks report places AI-generated disinformation at the top of short-term (up to two years) threats, surpassing even climate change and wars.
“AI can build out models for influencing large populations of voters in a way that we haven’t seen before,” Carolina Klint, chief commercial officer for Europe at consultancy Marsh McLennan, remarked.
Analysts are raising concerns that AI-generated content could have a significant impact on upcoming elections in countries such as the USA, India, South Africa, and Mexico. Moreover, the influence of artificial intelligence on commercial entities' production and business activities is also a growing concern.
