This refers to the letter ‘Dawn of the robots’ (September 13, 2024) by Iffah Kaleem. The writer has rightly pointed out the emerging concerns surrounding artificial intelligence. Basically, AI systems are often trained on vast data sets that reflect historical biases and inequalities. Consequently, these biases can be inadvertently encoded into the algorithm, perpetuating discrimination and reinforcing existing prejudices.
Addressing these biases requires a concerted effort to develop and implement algorithms that are transparent and equitable, ensuring that AI serves all individuals fairly. AI’s reach into personal information also raises significant privacy concerns. The ethical challenge lies in balancing the benefits of data-driven insights with protection of individual privacy rights. Striking this balance is crucial to avoid infringing on personal freedoms and to maintain trust in AI technologies.
