Professor Alan Brown writes a weekly newsletter called Digital Economy Dispatch which focuses on the intersection of technology, strategy, and organizational change.
His latest Dispatch entitled “The Politics of AI: Data, manipulation, and responsibility” delves into the significant responsibilities that accompany the increasing use of AI, emphasizing the need for ethical and efficient application in various sectors, including climate change and healthcare.
He discusses the geopolitical tensions, particularly between the US and China, over AI dominance and its implications for privacy, individual rights, and democratic values.
The piece highlights the political aspects of AI, focusing on how data, the foundation of AI, is inherently biased and can influence power dynamics, societal values, and decision-making.
Alan calls for digital leaders to embrace responsible AI practices, focusing on data responsibility, ethical AI development, and human-centred AI, to ensure AI is a force for good in society.
I highly recommend reading the full article and attending this upcoming live stream “AI’s Data Dilemma” on Jan 26th to explore quality data in AI.
