Five tips for life with artificial intelligence
Mark Zuckerberg mainly sees opportunities in AI, and Elon Musk warns of the dangers. It is certain that artificial intelligence will have a major impact on our lives. The question is, how do you deal with it?
1. Get an understanding of AI
AI seems as mysterious as a black box for many people. You put data in it but what happens afterwards is often a mystery. If you understand what is happening precisely and how the machine is getting smarter, you can also see its possibilities.
2. Convenience is the new loyalty. Accept that
Under the influence of AI, customer experience is rising to a new level. 'Consumers will have less confidence in brands and stores, but even more in a user-friendly interface such as Amazon's Alexa,' says Steven Van Belleghem. Companies had better be aware of this.
3. Be flexible
It appears that AI will take over human tasks in customer service, recruitment, marketing and so on. So, which tasks will remain for humans? Online Operations Manager Jeroen Voets proposes to focus on creativity, strategic insight, collaboration and problem-solving skills. 'These are things that are more difficult for AI to take over.'
4. See AI as an opportunity
'AI is an opportunity to make a better version of humanity,' said futurist James Whittaker, in an interview with RTL Z. 'Provided we don't contaminate it with our prejudices, racism and sexism, because then the machines will only magnify our bad sides.'
5. Dream big
That same expert, Whittaker, says that AI can handle small things that make our lives a fraction easier. He advises us, however, to dream big and use AI for really important things like fighting global warming, better healthcare and better education.
