Welcome to the Age of Generative AI
Abstract
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has an unprecedented capability to produce original text, music, and images or video - that resembles that of human creators – and promises to bring significant changes and advancements to efficiency and innovation. However, this technological revolution also requires collective oversight to address the challenges that will arrive alongside the benefits without a corresponding plan for ethical operation and risk mitigation.
This research delivers a brief overview of the evolution of Artificial Intelligence, beginning with its conceptual origins in the mid-twentieth century and continuing to the recent emergence of a groundbreaking advancement in AI technology, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). The impact and aftereffects of GenAI promise to change our world and how we interact with it forever. The research identifies critical ideas and strategies to deploy and leverage GenAI within strategic frameworks that provide ethical processes, emphasize human oversight, and upskill the workforce as core measures to enable the technology responsibly.
The future impacts, potential risks, errors, biases, and potential unfairness in autonomously deploying Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) across society, the workforce, and the global economy. These impacts must be met with an approach to integrate the technology that keeps humans at the center of innovation by upskilling and enabling, minimizing the negative consequences, and promoting ethics in a future-forward strategy. This approach must be a collective effort between those in a position to create the necessary plans and provisions through policy, technology development, and education. With this approach, it is possible to augment human capabilities and unlock innovation potential while maintaining an ethical, safe, and inclusive strategy.
