AI with great power comes responsibility

[PLACEHOLDER]
Image

Generative AI continues to be front and centre of all topics. Companies continue to make an effort for making sense of the technology, investing in their teams, as well as vendors/providers in order to “crack” those use cases that will give them the advantage in this competitive market, and while we are still in this phase of the “AI revolution” where things are still getting sorted.

I bet that Uncle Ben’s advise could go beyond Peter Parker, as many of us can make use of that wisdom due to the many things that are currently happening. AI would not be the exception when using this iconic phrase from one of the best comics out there.

Uncle Ben and Peter Parker - Spiderman

A short list of products out there in the space of generated AI:

Text to image

Video Creation

Text to speech

Copywriting

Conversation

Artistic

NLP/chat

Code


I mean, if you think, like me, that IntelliSense was/is cool, then products such as Copilot and Tabnine, will blow your mind, as you get your own “AI pair programmer” providing you with:

  • Suggestions as you code
  • Writing functions based on the comments you provided
  • Creates unit test for the code you wrote

Allowing you to accelerate the velocity of your development team. According to GitHub research, Copilot is a big success, improving focus by 74%. It also made users feel 88% more productive and efficient by automating repetitive tasks by a staggering 96%.

AI is also a game changer for how we are levering the current search engine providers, and how those tools are, and will continue to evolve because of it (Bing is a good example on how they made AI accessible as part of their search offering). This is because now users can perform their searches asking complex questions. In addition, users are able to receive personalized results, as well as receiving direct, and immediate, feedback. 


AI and its challenges

While experiencing all the great use cases and advantages that Generative AI is providing at one’s fingertips, we are also discovering new challenges (or existing ones that have immediately become more complex). Just to mention a few:

  1. Copyright issues,
  2. Lack of accuracy within the suggestions provided by the algorithm,
  3. Cheating the system/processes,
  4. Students submitting papers generated by AI systems,
  5. Candidates utilizing AI for resumes and interviews,
  6. PII data risks

The lawsuit cases appear to be just the beginning:

  • OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT, receives a lawsuit alleging it stole people’s data (for more go to the business Insider article here )
  • “Microsoft and its computer code-sharing website GitHub, as well as artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, are being sued in California. A proposed class-action lawsuit claims the firms’ AI-powered programming tool Copilot infringes copyright by using millions of lines of human-written code without proper attribution. It is the first big copyright lawsuit over AI and potential damages could exceed $9 billion.”

Conclusion

While this AI “hype” that we are experiencing can be exciting for some, scary for others, challenging for a few, as technology has accelerated faster than expected; the reality is that “Generative AI” is among us.
It will be an important aspect to adopt/tackle/leverage by companies, as well as by individuals, and therefore it needs to be used with the proper ethics and responsibility.

Designing Habit Forming Mobile Application

Anonymous
Mobile Applications have become an integral part of our daily lives - we use mobile apps as alarm clocks to wake us up in the morning, to create to do lists when we start our day, to communicate with our colleagues at work via apps like Skype. We even check reviews of restaurants to visit on apps like Yelp and we seek entertainment on apps like Netflix and spotify. So what drives us to use these apps so seamlessly in our daily lives? Why we prefer some apps over others? Is there a science behind designing successful mobile apps like Facebook?  Photo by Peter C from Pexels A study in US revealed that a user between the age of 18 and 44 visits the Facebook app on average 14 times a day [1]. This shows that using the Facebook app is a daily routine for many of its users. This makes Facebook a great example of a habit forming mobile app which is designed with human psychology in mind that encourages habit forming behavior in its users .   I recently attended a seminar ...

Steer for a talent transformation strategy (and avoiding AI fatigue)

 There was a debate on whether to feature the term “AI” in the title of this article. Honestly, a key motivation for pursuing the research that led to this post was sparked by the widespread excitement about AI appearing constantly in our LinkedIn feed, to the point of feeling the fatigue, and even a bit disappointed in the algorithm of this, and the others, social media and content curated apps.  We soon discovered that there is an entire concept called "AI fatigue", not exactly how we were feeling it, but more about the mixed emotions people in the workforce have regarding the use of AI tools. Photo by Mart Production via Pexels (background updated with AI and Adobe  tech) From micro blog posts to video podcasts, lately, most of the tech content we encounter revolves around AI. They often sound or read very similar, usually mentioning the same few top providers. The articles (and social posts... at least the popular ones with paid-campaigns behind it) tend to focus less...
