Artificial intelligence has become an everyday tool for millions of people, but it remains largely unregulated. As it becomes more embedded in our homes and workplaces, concerns are growing over job losses, privacy, and the speed at which the technology is advancing. Some warn that AI’s rapid development, and the companies racing to build it, could create more risks than benefits. Others argue it could transform healthcare, education and scientific discovery for the better. So who is right? And what is the future of AI? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks to US Director of Control AI Connor Leahy and President of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation Alan Eyre.
