Navigating the AI Revolution: Impacts on Organizations, Societies, and Individuals
Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), has made significant strides in recent years, transforming the way we live and work. This talk delves into the wide-ranging implications of AI for modern leaders, organizations, societies, and individuals. By understanding the capabilities and limitations of these advanced models, leaders can harness their potential for decision-making, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. We will address critical questions surrounding the ethical, economic, and social aspects of LLMs and AI, exploring their impact on the workforce, privacy, accountability, and the future of human-AI interactions. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on navigating the AI revolution and shaping a better future for all stakeholders.
Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence to Improve Decision-Making
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to make decisions affecting individuals, societies, and organizations. Modern leaders need to understand the opportunities and challenges related to AI's growing importance. In this talk, we will discuss a number of important and timely questions pertaining to AI: How does it work? What is fueling its growing popularity? How is it transforming industries and business models? Can it be creative? Can it make fair decisions? Can AI decisions be interpreted? When is AI better than human decision makers? When will AI take over the world?
The End of Privacy
A growing proportion of human activities―such as social interactions, entertainment, shopping, and gathering information―are now mediated by digital devices and services. Such digitally mediated activities can be easily recorded, offering an unprecedented opportunity to study and assess psychological traits using actual (rather than self-reported) behavior. Our research shows that digital records of behavior―such as facial images, samples of text, Tweets, Facebook Likes, or web-browsing logs―can be used to accurately measure a wide range of psychological traits. Such predictions do not require participants' active involvement; can be easily and inexpensively applied to large populations; and are relatively immune to misrepresentation. Consequently, the predictability of psychological traits offers a promise to improve research and practice in fields ranging from psychology, sociology, and education to management and marketing. However, if applied unethically, the same models pose unprecedented risks to the privacy and well-being of entire societies.
