In the Age of AI

Positive Aspects of More Complex AI and Machine Learning 

AI enables humans to be more efficient. The new technology is able to perform tasks faster than humans. Whether they are small and repetitive or large and complex, AI is able to accomplish specific jobs more efficiently without the limitations that humans have. These tasks involve concepts such as decision making, visual perception, learning, reasoning, and even natural language processing. AI is able to reduce error, increase accuracy/increase precision, and it does not get tired. Ultimately, AI and machine learning have the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and even communicate. 

Privacy Cons of AI and Machine Learning 

With better technology being established comes more concerns, risks, and downsides. One of the most critical aspects of AI and machine learning is the privacy and security issues that arise. Some privacy concerns with these new technologies include data breaches, misuse of data, discrimination, and even inaccurate results. 

Privacy Pros of AI and Machine Learning 

Although AI and machine learning can create some privacy concerns, they also offer several privacy advantages. One example is data minimization. The technologies are being refined to reduce the amount of personal information that is collected and processed by only using the necessary data required to perform a task. In addition, AI and machine learning algorithms  can help anonymize data by removing personal information or replacing it with "pseudonyms." 

National Security

National security is another complex issue when it comes to AI and machine learning. There is always the risk that these technologies will act maliciously.  Whether that be through autonomous weapons, cyberattacks, or disclosing fake information, it is crucial that policymakers carefully balance the advantages and disadvantages of AI and machine learning to ensure our safety and security. 

Online security and Identity Theft

AI and machine learning can play an important role in online security and preventing identity theft. AI can be used to validate documents, authenticate users, and detect fraud. The technology does this by analyzing patterns. By doing this, AI and machine learning are able to detect abnormalities and potential breaches.
