Recently, John Golden had a great chat with Neil Sahota, a United Nations AI advisor. Neil is also an IBM master inventor, author, and part-time professor at UC Irvine. John Golden from Sales POP Online Sales Magazine and Pipeline CRM joined us. We talked about the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), its impact on different fields, and the ethical issues it brings.
The AI Evolution: Changing Industries
AI technology is advancing quickly. Neil talked about large language models (LMS) and AI agents. These tools are changing personal assistants and sales interactions. They are also transforming how businesses run. AI’s power is clear in many industries, like healthcare and finance. And there is still much more it can do.
Ethical AI: Need for Transparency and Rules
One big issue with AI is ethics. Neil said we need transparency in AI processes. He also called for universal policies and regulations. Problems like the misuse of information and deepfake technology show the risks. As AI grows, we need rules to prevent harm and ensure ethical use.
We also talked about data security. This is very important in areas like banking and healthcare. Neil discussed using synthetic data to train AI systems. This can balance innovation and privacy. But it also highlights the need for strong security to prevent breaches and misuse.
Choosing the Right AI Tools
There are many AI tools available. Neil stressed the importance of evaluating them carefully. We need to understand what these tools do and if they fit our goals and ethical standards. It’s not just about using AI but using it responsibly and effectively.
The Future of AI: Bots, Empathy, and Digital Twins
Neil made some exciting predictions about AI’s future. He sees AI bots working with AI assistants for sales, developing artificial empathy, and creating digital twins. He also mentioned tools like “Hey Jen,” which can create lifelike avatars from body language and voice. These ideas show how integrated AI might become in our lives.
Using AI for Positive Change
Neil is optimistic about AI’s potential for good. He urged organizations to use AI to solve tough problems and improve efficiency. His insights are helpful for anyone looking to integrate AI into their work.
Embracing the AI Journey
Our talk with Neil Sahota gave us a clear picture of AI’s present and future. It highlighted the ethical and practical aspects of using AI widely. As we enter an AI-driven era, our choices now will shape its path. Developers, business leaders, and everyday users all have a role in this. We must navigate the AI revolution wisely and aim for the greater good.
Let’s explore the world of AI together and work towards a future that benefits everyone.
