A recent study by Lancaster University, published on December 26, 2023, underscores the complex and dual nature of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in society. The research paper emphasizes the potential of AI to bring significant benefits while also highlighting its capacity to cause harm if not properly managed. AI and algorithms are currently influencing societal dynamics, including exacerbating radicalization, enhancing polarization, and disseminating racism and political instability. Professor Burton, an expert in cyber conflict and emerging technologies at the university, stresses that while AI can transform societies positively, it also presents risks that need careful understanding and management. The study calls for a comprehensive approach to both understand and manage AI effectively, considering its far-reaching implications for society.
