Google executive emphasizes the importance of getting AI right
Matt Brittin, Google’s president for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, believes that AI is too important to ignore. He spoke about the potential for AI to bring huge breakthroughs across various industries. Google has partnered with the University of Cambridge to support their new Centre for Human-Inspired AI, where experts from both institutions will work together to develop innovative AI solutions for practical and theoretical problems in robotics, healthcare, and climate change.
Professor Zoubin Ghahramani, Vice president of research at Google DeepMind and a professor at Cambridge University, highlighted the potential of AI in addressing climate challenges. For example, AI can optimize flight paths to reduce contrails and minimize the impact of air travel on the environment.
Brittin mentioned that if AI is implemented correctly, it can lead to breakthroughs in health, clean energy, and education. He also mentioned Google’s commitment to sustainability, becoming carbon neutral in 2007 and investing in renewable energy.
However, critics argue that the AI revolution, led by companies like Google, may have negative environmental impacts. Concerns are also raised about AI turning against its creators, job displacement, and threats to democracy.
