Separating the real-world capabilities of artificial intelligence from the often-exaggerated claims can be challenging. To provide clarity, we’ve developed the AI Hype Index – a straightforward assessment of the industry’s current status.
Over the past few months, AI has demonstrated its ability to connect people globally. Meta’s release of a model capable of translating speech across more than 100 languages is a prime example. Additionally, individuals worldwide are finding support, assistance, and even companionship through chatbots.
However, it’s also apparent that AI is creating divisions. For instance, the Pentagon is employing AI to identify individuals on its so-called “kill list.” In addition, changes to social media guidelines by Mark Zuckerberg may result in a rise in hate speech across our timelines.
While AI presents significant opportunities, its ethical implications and potentially negative societal impacts require careful consideration.
