Artificial intelligence (AI) presents both possibilities and concerns that need careful consideration, according to a recent report. Lawmakers are urging governments to address 12 AI challenges , including its potential as an existential threat. The report emphasizes the importance of national security protections in case AI poses significant risks to human life. Additionally, the challenges encompass issues like bias, privacy, misrepresentation, data usage, computing power, transparency, copyright, liability, employment impact, code openness, and international coordination.
The report also highlights the “exciting” potential of AI in healthcare, particularly in the National Health Service (NHS). AI is already aiding in interpreting X-rays and scans, and there’s interest in using it to predict chronic conditions like diabetes. However, concerns about biases in AI training data affecting accuracy are noted, especially in medical research involving specific demographic groups. The government aims to regulate AI responsibly, with a focus on safety and adaptability, and plans to engage in discussions with lawmakers to address these concerns effectively.
