Industry executives expressed optimism and caution at a WEF panel on AI hosted by Cointelegraph’s Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr.
Reaction to the astounding development of artificial intelligence (AI) has ranged from alarm to jubilation. With the dramatic pace of its evolution, rebuilding trust in AI is a constant open question. Cointelegraph ambassador and editor-at-large Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr explored sentiment toward AI in a panel discussion with industry leaders she moderated at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where rebuilding trust is this year’s theme.
Optimism and expectation were the predominant feelings expressed by the executives. “Personally, I’m not worried” about the fast pace of change brought on by AI, Viviana Gropengiesser, director of entrepreneurship of the ETH AI Center, said. “I am aware of the complexity. […] I think it's a major chance for us to create a completely different type of world and society.”
ETH AI is the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH — Federal Technical Institute) AI research center.
