The 10 greatest issues AI needs to face

Gallery-The 10 greatest issues AI needs to face

While we celebrate the positive impacts of artificial intelligence let's not forget there's also a lot to be concerned about.

There are a lot of reasons to be excited about artificial intelligence. AI is transforming industries in innovative ways and even enabling entirely new business models to emerge.

But there are also a lot of reasons to be cautious about AI. The 2019 AI Now Report, created by the AI Now Institute, takes a look back on the social impact of AI in 2019, and some of the most important issues surrounding the technology as it moves forward. The AI Now Institute is a non-profit, interdisciplinary research institute “dedicated to understanding the social implications of AI technologies.”

“This year we saw a wave of pushback, as community groups, researchers, policymakers, and workers demanded a halt to risky and dangerous AI,” the report says.

As AI moves into the next decade we've outlined some of the most important issues AI will have to grapple with in the coming years.
