Experts warn AI poses significant risks, especially in healthcare
At the South By Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas, AI was a major topic, highlighting its potential to generate $4.4 trillion in value. However, experts expressed concerns about the lack of regulation and the risks associated with AI, particularly in healthcare. Panelists discussed the dangers of AI, including biased data leading to life-threatening errors in medical diagnoses. They emphasized the need for transparency, suggesting "AI nutrition labels" to inform users about the risks and purposes of AI models. Experts also warned about the environmental impact of AI and the potential collapse of AI models trained on synthetic data. They called for human oversight in AI development to mitigate risks and ensure ethical practices.
