While the benefits are compelling, Kori emphasized that AI is not free from pitfalls. The dual-edged nature of AI demands careful, responsible use. He pointed out several pressing risks:
Bias in AI Algorithms: AI systems trained on biased data may unintentionally perpetuate discrimination. For example, a resume screening AI might favor male candidates if historical data reflects gender bias, leading to unfair rejection of qualified females.
Deepfakes and Misinformation: Advanced AI-generated fake videos or audio—deepfakes—can be used maliciously for misinformation, blackmail, or political manipulation. A recent incident involved a fake video claiming the Pentagon was attacked—a clear example of AI’s potential for harm.
