When a Tool is Not a Tool: AI Gone C.O.L.D.(Creativity, Objectivity, Liability, and Dependability)
The Future of Work & AI in Society
TalkAbout the Session
"Remember the Space Shuttle Challenger, a monument to progress tragically brought down by a seemingly insignificant flaw? Decades later, it still serves as a chilling reminder: unchecked potential can harbor disastrous consequences. Just like the O-ring, Artificial Intelligence holds immense power, but its C.O.L.D. grip can stifle Creativity, blind Objectivity, shirk Liability, and threaten Dependability. Are we prepared to face this reality? Experience a revealing journey into the potential dangers and transformative opportunities of AI. This is not about fear; it’s an invitation to engage. Observe, in striking detail, how unregulated AI can suppress creativity, resulting in predictable outputs that lack the essence of human inspiration. Explore the dangers of biased algorithms warping our perception of reality and eroding objectivity. Unmask the chilling prospect of unaccountable AI, where responsibility diffuses and consequences go unchecked. Finally, confront the fragility of a world over-reliant on technology, exposed when AI falters. Unveil strategies to transform this C.O.L.D. power into a blazing force for good by discovering how to wield it as a catalyst for creativity (not a tyrant of conformity), a champion of collaboration (not a parasite of innovation), and a lever for empowerment (not a crutch of dependence). Together, we can ignite a future where AI amplifies our humanity, not diminishes it. This riveting keynote presentation goes from informative to empowering. It's an invitation to navigate the exciting, yet potentially treacherous, skies of the future with AI by our side. Will we succumb to the chilling grip of misuse, or will we ignite the fiery potential of AI for a brighter tomorrow? The choice is ours."
