We all use artificial intelligence on a daily basis, often without realizing we are doing so.
In the first episode of our podcast Satoshi's voices we had the opportunity to speak with Juan Carlos F. Galindo, journalist and expert in Artificial Intelligence.
During our talk, we talked about the limits of artificial intelligence, uniqueness or the possible uses they will have in the future.
How far can AI go?
On the limits of artificial intelligence, Galindo points out that the The limit will be set by human beings themselves.
The development of artificial intelligence is exponential and its capabilities multiply every year.
To illustrate this statement, he explains that a few years ago, Tencent (League of Legends developer company) created a AI capable of writing a financial news story in just a few minutes. Nowadays, AIs like Chat GPT are able to do this in just a few seconds.
Do we use AI in our daily lives?
Although we are often unaware, we all use artificial intelligence in our daily livesFor example, on our mobile phones, through virtual assistants or when we take pictures at night.
Artificial intelligence is present in our lives in ways we don't even realize. For example, parking lots have smart cameras that are able to read and memorize the license plate of our car, so it is not necessary to show the ticket to exit.
How are companies using AI?
Large companies already use AI for many of their processes, such as Profile and resume analysis in Human Resources.
Banks also use applications with artificial intelligence to define the risks of a financial transaction, such as the feasibility of offering a mortgage to a particular client.
Will AI replace workers?
The goal of AI is not to replace workers, but free them from “routine” or “repetitive” tasks so that they can focus on other aspects of their work.
Galindo offers an example: AI capable of writing news. In this case, AI is responsible for writing an article, freeing up the journalist to research and analyze the information.
In this way, AI will allow us better manage work time.
What to study to work with Artificial Intelligence?
There are many options to work with Artificial Intelligences, From the computer science careers, which have been updated to offer new avenues of study such as Big Data or computing applied to the development of neural networks.
On the other hand, there is a new wave of computational linguists, who are professionals dedicated to “feeding” artificial intelligences already working on natural language processing.
Can AI be hacked?
Galindo explains that, Any computer application has the possibility of being pirated.
However, it is important to note that AI can play an important role in the fight against cybercrimeIn this sense, quantum computing will be one of the main tools for cybersecurity professionals.
What is singularity?
Singularity is the point at which “Non-biological” intelligence surpasses biological intelligence.
Some studies indicate that in the year 2040 Artificial intelligence could eventually surpass human intelligence. However, other experts believe that this threshold will not be achieved until several centuries from now.
Galindo sums up that, on this point, there is a lot of disagreement, although it is simply a matter of time before AI surpasses human intelligence.
Are there regulations on artificial intelligence?
At the moment, laws on artificial intelligence are in a very early stage, since regulation always lags behind innovation.
El primer sandbox regulatory is being developed by the Council of the European Union and will include a framework of good practices in the use and development of artificial intelligence.
However, regulation is at an early stage and it is necessary to review some sensitive aspects such as privacy, security, ethics or cognitive biases.
