Everyone says AI

'The creation of AI will be the most important technological development in human history'

The Elon Musk-founded artificial intelligence venture plans to mimic the human brain that can rival and surpass the cognitive capabilities of humans. AI have to work with people to solve currently intractable multi-disciplinary problems, including high-quality healthcare.

Big Data and AI are two of the most popular and useful technologies today. Artificial intelligence is in existence from more than a decade, while Big Data came into existence just a few years ago. Computers can be used to store millions of records and data, but the power to analyze this data is provided by the Big Data.

Data accessibility is among the most significant hurdles. In many cases, sensitive or commercially viable data that have societal applications are privately owned and not accessible to nongovernmental organizations. In other cases, bureaucratic inertia keeps otherwise useful data locked up.Stakeholder from the private and public sectors must work together.

To increase the availability of data, for example, public officials and private actors should grant broader access to those seeking to use data for initiatives that serve the public good. Already, satellite companies participate in an international agreement that commits them to providing open access during emergencies. Data-dependent partnerships like this one must be expanded and become a feature of firms’ operational routines.

AI requires algorithms to be secure, reliable and robust enough to deal with errors or inconsistencies during all life cycle phases of AI systems.

Citizens should have full control over their own data, while data concerning them will not be used to harm or discriminate against them.

The health and social benefits would be immense
