Real AI threats are disinformation, bias, and lack of transparency: Stanford’s James Landay

James Landay, cofounder, Stanford Institute for Human-centred Artificial Intelligence, which focuses on studying and developing AI technology that are human focused, is not worried about superhuman intelligence or artificial general intelligence (AGI) . His concerns are more grounded and ones that are already impacting humans in negative ways. But he is also optimistic. Landay, a Computer Science professor at Stanford specialising in human-computer interaction, shared with ET’s Swathi Moorthy that generative artificial intelligence can potentially impact lives positively in the areas of healthcare and education, but only when designed to weed out the negatives and regulate it.
