Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised the way we live and work, making tasks easier and more efficient. AI has found its way into various industries, from healthcare to finance, making an impact by automating repetitive tasks, analysing vast amounts of data and providing valuable insights.
Despite the positive impact of AI, many people are concerned about the role of AI in our lives, and how it may replace jobs or erode empathy. The key to unlocking the full potential of AI is to embrace it while retaining the human touch. In this blog, we will discuss the challenges of embracing AI and how to overcome them, creating a more balanced and harmonious relationship between individuals and technology.
One of the biggest challenges of embracing AI is the fear of job displacement. With AI automating tasks that were previously performed by humans, many people are concerned about the future of work and whether their jobs will be taken over by machines. This is a valid concern, and it is important to recognise that AI will change the nature of work.
However, instead of seeing this as a threat, we should see it as an opportunity to reskill and upskill our workforce. We need to ensure that workers are equipped with the skills necessary to work alongside AI and to take advantage of the new opportunities that AI will bring.
Another challenge of embracing AI is the lack of empathy. AI is ordinarily designed to operate in a logical and rational manner, but it lacks the emotional intelligence and pathos that individuals possess. This can lead to a lack of understanding and a breakdown in communication between people and AI systems.
To overcome this, it is important to design AI systems with a human-centred approach, considering the emotional and social needs of the users. This will ensure that AI systems are able to provide personalised and relevant responses, making the user experience more enjoyable and productive.
Moreover, to ensure that AI does not erode empathy, it is crucial to have a system of accountability in place. This means that we need to have clear and transparent guidelines for how AI systems are designed, trained, and deployed. We also need to have a mechanism for holding AI systems accountable for their actions, and for ensuring that they are not biased or discriminatory. This will help to ensure that AI systems are aligned with human values and ethical principles, and that they promote fairness, equality and pathos.
Embracing AI without losing the human touch requires a holistic approach that balances the benefits of technology with the importance of empathy and ethical considerations. We can unlock the full potential of AI while preserving the personal touch by reskilling and upskilling our workforce, designing AI systems with a human-centred approach, and ensuring a system of accountability. The key to truly global communication is to embrace AI in a way that benefits people and enables technology to create a harmonious relationship between the two.
We have a team of nearly 300 people across the globe with many Data Scientists and AI specialists. AI can be a positive and harmonious force which will enable greater productivity for business, while enabling employees to minimise unrewarding administrative tasks, in order to focus on the real value-adding work. That is why we have developed our Meeting Highlights and Speaker Identification features and this is only just the beginning of our long AI journey.
