The AI Advantage

Preview

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to completely transform work and society. Some job positions may be fully automated, while others will be augmented, and still, other new jobs will develop around the AI field. Organizations that are able to best reap the benefits of AI must develop a cognitive strategy for implementing the new technology. Transparency is essential for firms to address the potential challenges of AI, and governments should assume some responsibility to help mitigate the potential negative side effects, such as job loss, inequality, or fake news, that can come from AI adoption.
