Much has been said about the benefits of Artificial Intelligence, however, it has worried many others, as it can trigger misinformation and there is a possibility that it will replace some professions.
According to Hector Palacios, a scientific researcher at ServiceNow ResearchArtificial Intelligence is like a computer program created from languages that come from mathematics.
During the program Hecho en California, led by Marcos Gutiérrez, Anna Lee Mraz, CEO of Península 360 Press explained that the basis of Artificial Intelligence is created from dictionaries in which things are defined and described.
"The problem with this is that these dictionaries are created by humans and humans come with information biases," he said.
In that sense, Mraz explained that because humans are the ones who choose what information to provide to AI, it can contain biases that impact even racial and social justice issues.
"There is a problem - in Artificial Intelligence - that can lead to discrimination in more than one sense," he stressed.
Recently, at a press conference dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and organized by Ethnic Media Services, experts expressed their concern about the racial biases that AI contains, since it has been proven that it does not recognize the gender of communities of color.
However, this is not the only concern that exists regarding Artificial Intelligence, as it is believed that in the future it could replace some professions.
"There are a number of jobs where you're not going to need a human to write a letter anymore," Mraz said.
Recently, the World Economic Forum (WEF) pointed out in a report that office functions will be the most affected by artificial intelligence.
"If Artificial Intelligence drives us to enhance capabilities, how are we going to enhance stigmas? That is one of the dangers, we are going to enhance stigmas, racism, unemployment, if we do not put a critical hand to it," warned Manuel Ortiz Escámez.
Finally, Ortiz warned that AI, despite all its benefits, can generate misinformation in events such as elections, especially "by those who can afford it," due to the number of messages and images created from it. He therefore recommended being careful with the control that the highest authorities and the creators of AI have over the information.
