Learning more about AI (1)

 Good morning ka. Following a request for my podcast program to share info and thoughts about AI in education, I started listening and reading a bit more and here’s one of the articles to share with you ka.

One is from Harvard Business Review on ‘AI and Machine Learning: 4 Types of Gen AI Risk and How to Mitigate Them’ by Öykü Isik, Amit Joshi, and Lazaros Goutas, May 31, 2024. Also watched some YouTube programs kaa!

Key points from the overall learning these days are:

1. The first sentence of the summary is what I’d like to quote loei….it reads, ‘Many organizations are understandably hesitant to adopt gen AI applications, citing concerns about privacy and security threats, copyright infringement, the possibility of bias and discrimination in its outputs, and other hazards.

My own thinking is the word ‘hesitant’ as I feel we don’t really have enough knowledge and understanding. I forget where I listened it from but one podcaster was saying that leaders are slow and don’t really think of using it seriously….only instruct their teams to learn and get started which isn’t practical ka.

No matter what, leaders and their engagement are crucial, noting that ‘approximately 70% of respondents (from 2,500 executives by Gartner last spring) reported that their organizations are exploring how to integrate generative AI into their organizations while a published Stanford AI Index Report shows that the global AI adoption rates are higher in all surveyed regions.

Our public sector is far too slow and hopefully our private sector can take a strong lead though they obviously strive to have AI integration. Our government must have qualified experts around to help, with political will to come up with decent support and not too rigid regulations.

2. I listened to Khun Krating KBTG and liked his mindset, which is inspiring. He said this is the best time for most of us to work on AI-related development as it’s something quite new and most people are more or less at the same level of learning so we need to gain from this advantage.

I’d like to add, ‘Go for it fast so we won’t be left too far behind for others to look back and help ka!’

3. In addition to worries about learning, speed, and consequences of the use of AI, one more thing is put clearly in the HBR article…. ‘……downsides of widespread adoption of gen AI range from mildly annoying (such as personalized spam) to truly catastrophic (such as the fast depletion of water sources from vulnerable parts of the planet to support the largest data centers ever constructed)!

How to balance the benefits and the damages is one very important issue to manage with care!

Going for a bit too long and I'll continue the second part soon ka.
