Does Artificial Intelligence Make You Nervous? Here Are 5 Ways Black People Can Benefit From AI (Vol 1121)
Whether it's the use of robots, self-driving cars, or smartphones, AI is a part of our everyday lives.
If NFTs (non-fungible tokens) were hot two years ago, 2023 is shaping up to be the year of artificial intelligence. Whether it's the use of robots, self-driving cars, smartphones, and so much more, AI is quickly becoming a part of our everyday lives and will continue to influence our society.
To bring you up to speed on the AI phenomenon, two leaders in the field, Alicia Brown, a Cybersecurity expert and founder of TMG Consulting, which specializes in cybersecurity, cloud computing and operations; and Mike Muse, a NextGen Tech Policy Fellow at Google and a media entrepreneur spoke with BET.com and came up with a list of things Black people should know about the emerging field.
1. New Jobs and Career Opportunities
One of the greatest concerns of the growing usage of AI is its impact on the marketplace. Many have already conceded that A.I. will remove job seekers from the marketplace. The experts suggest that with AI, Black people should seize the opportunity to gain new skills to expand their reach in the job market as the technology continues to transform the world. Brown asserts that AI can help remedy discriminatory practices that have long hindered us in the marketplace.
“There have been numerous reports of AI algorithms returning with racially biased results. But tech expert believe that for African Americans, the rise of AI also offers a significant potential for positive change, while also posing unique challenges that must be confronted.”
