Speaker: Sue Abu-Hakima, CEO, Alstari
Artificial Intelligence has incredible potential to help humanity with all sorts of issues including climate change, getting us off the planet, cancer treatment, personalized medicine, agriculture, forest fires, etc. AI allows us to make billions of decisions in nanoseconds.
AI also has the potential for destruction. Criminals are already using AI for malware, fraud, identity theft, etc. Countries all over the world are quickly trying to implement safety standards to minimize its potential hazards.
