Artificial intelligence : — a vehicle or an obstacle on our path to a sustainable future?
Aits, Sonja LU
(2022)
- Abstract
- Many people and organizations across the globe work towards a sustainable future. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool in their efforts.
AI technologies, which aim to imitate the natural intelligence of humans and animals, have made enormous progress in the past decade. AI has brought us a whole range of futuristic tools — from self-driving cars to virtual assistants, smart home appliances and self-learning robots — and enabled us to process large and complex data with unprecedented speed and accuracy. With AI advancing so rapidly and its application becoming more ubiquitous across society every day, we should carefully consider how to use it to ensure a sustainable future.
