…not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my
laundry and dishes.
I want artificial intelligence to do the laundry and
wash the dishes, so I can devote myself to art and writing—not for
artificial intelligence to devote itself to art and writing so that I
can do the laundry and wash the dishes.
This tweet has reignited the debate on artificial
intelligence, although it would be accurate to say that in recent years the
discussions have never stopped, and in its simplicity, it draws attention
to an important issue when it comes to artificial intelligence.
In fact, there are countless fields of application for AI,
from creativity to the medical field, from sports to business management, but
are we really sure it’s the right approach to develop, integrate, and use it
in absolutely every sector? Wouldn’t it make more sense to focus our
efforts on those more mechanical applications—which are, in some ways, tedious for
humans—while allowing people the greatest possible freedom to express themselves
when creativity is part of the job?
While there is no doubt that using AI
to manage a warehouse and optimize package delivery
has no particular drawbacks, are we really sure that making
photography obsolete is a good idea?
This is, in fact, an interesting point to consider
and probably a very important one.
In fact, the debate on AI often revolves around its
development and use in general terms, but there is rarely any discussion of
where it should and should not be used.
In Viasky We are, of course, passionate researchers
in the field of artificial intelligence, which we use and apply in the field of
business management to optimize production processes, especially with
a focus on sustainability. We also develop it to make content
more accessible to everyone, so that it becomes a tool
for inclusivity. Another interesting application we use it for is in the field
of corporate training, where AI helps us customize training courses
based on the characteristics of the learners.
In the field of business management, there are no
drawbacks to using artificial intelligence because it is already
absolutely clear that it is a tool designed to support humans and
professionals, and is by no means a substitute; and it is especially clear that
this technology provides significant assistance in the business world,
enabling effective process optimization and an increase in revenue
that is sustainable from every perspective.
In general, however, questions about artificial intelligence
are intriguing, and the tweet that served as the starting point for this article could
represent a crucial aspect of the AI debate in the coming years.
What do you think? Are you worried that in the future we’ll be watching
AI paint while we wash the dishes, or are you confident that
artists will continue to be human beings?
