Description of the session
“Generative and general AI applications are arriving with an immense speed in our world. But the exciting world of opportunities and possibilities that are coming with this dream, hide away some important issues to tackle: privacy, ethics, liability and the increasing amount of energy consumption. The discrepancy between what the developers create, what the customer buys, and what the government wants has increased the complexity bias in the domain of AI. Let’s translate these issues in the good, the bad and the ugly of AI and prepare a roadmap towards sustainable AI.
