Manage episode 489006814 series 2808139
Spill the tea - we want to hear from you!
Generative AI is transforming technology and reshaping our world by creating human-like content at unprecedented scale and speed.
• EU ranks second globally in Gen AI academic publications but faces funding gaps for innovation
• Technical foundations include deep learning architectures, specialized processors, and massive datasets
• Gen AI systems face unique cybersecurity vulnerabilities like data poisoning and prompt injection
• Emerging trends include agentic AI making autonomous decisions and multimodal AI processing diverse data types
• Teachers are more exposed to AI-automatable tasks than 90% of workers across occupations
• Gen AI enables creation of convincing false content, threatening information integrity
• Digital commons face existential threats from AI crawlers and potential information pollution
• Data centers powering AI projected to consume growing portions of electricity by 2027
• Children need specific safeguards against manipulation and inappropriate AI-generated content
• Bias in training data perpetuates societal prejudices in AI outputs
• Privacy concerns include AI's ability to infer sensitive information from seemingly innocuous data
• Copyright challenges involve determining appropriate limitations for AI training
