Do predictions that AI could become a threat to humanity, or an out-of-control entity, reflect real possibilities or are they mere fantasy or science fiction theories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe real risks and dangers come from a lack of knowledge about how AI works, and also from using this technology without criteria,\u201d says Manuela Delgado (Zaragoza, Spain, 1976), an engineer, innovation consultant and technology communicator specializing in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other potential risks of intelligent systems, in terms of their use by governments, companies and organizations, stem from a lack of security and\/or ethics in their implementation, as well as from what is decided to delegate to the machine, according to the specialist (@manueladelgadoinnovacion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accelerated implementation and social paradox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI has gone from being a topic of discussion in technological circles to becoming an infrastructure of our daily lives, present in mass consumer products, tools that transform the work environment, and algorithms that shape our daily decisions, according to this expert, who delves deeper into these ideas in her book &#8216;The Secrets of AI&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delgado believes that \u201cthe speed of this arrival has generated a social paradox: we move erratically between blind fascination and an abstract panic of being replaced, often becoming passive subjects of a revolution that we do not understand,\u201d as she explains in an interview with EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to this expert, &#8220;technology makes sense if it serves to improve people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; but &#8220;only through critical knowledge of this technological revolution will we be able to use AI to our own advantage, harness its potential, and avoid situations of risk and systemic vulnerability, or become mere mannequins of the algorithm.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three faces of institutional risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Delgado, \u201cthe real institutional danger has three faces: opacity (automated decisions that even their creators cannot fully explain due to the complex system on which this technology is based); the speed of deployment that is ahead of regulation; and the concentration of power in very few actors who control the infrastructure of these systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This expert emphasizes that &#8220;the real risk is not that AI will &#8216;rebel'&#8221;; she believes that &#8220;we are far from that happening&#8221; and points out that the risk is reflected in the fact that AI is making decisions in different scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to her, there are documented cases related to these risks, which &#8220;are not hypotheses, they are real facts.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeking a balance between regulation and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the \u201cCOMPAS algorithm, used in US courts to predict recidivism, showed systematic racial bias, while a global e-commerce giant had to withdraw a personnel selection system because it penalized women&#8217;s resumes,\u201d Delgado tells EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It points out that, in Spain, \u201can investigation by the Civio Foundation detected errors and incorrect results in the operation of BOSCO, a computer application used by the Ministry for Ecological Transition to check whether applicants met the requirements for the electricity social bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She adds that \u201cthe Spanish Supreme Court forced the Administration to open part of that code, in a landmark ruling for algorithmic transparency\u201d and that \u201cin Europe, the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AIR) is focused on protecting identity and the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe challenge lies in achieving a balance between regulation and innovation,\u201d Delgado points out, referring then to \u201canother, less discussed risk: the digital literacy gap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u2018Terminator factor\u2019 is just science fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose who understand how AI works, receive training, and start using it have an advantage over those who use it blindly or reject it out of fear, and this gap is becoming a new form of social inequality,\u201d she emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Delgado, \u201cwhat is science fiction is the idea of \u200b\u200ban AI with its own will that decides to \u2018take control\u2019 in the style of what happens in the \u2018Terminator\u2019 film saga,\u201d since \u201cthat would require a form of consciousness and intentionality that no current system possesses or is close to possessing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe danger (of AI) does not come from the machine wanting something; it comes from the people and organizations that design and deploy it not taking responsibility,\u201d she emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fantasy of an AI with intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the use of AI by individuals, workers, and professionals, Delgado believes that &#8220;it is fantasy to think that there is an artificial intelligence with personal intentions towards you, that understands you and is your friend, as well as to believe that your professional value will disappear because a machine can generate a text or an image.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe value a person brings to a profession or society cannot be eliminated by a machine because then we would be in a scenario where people would be mere mechanical cogs, and that is not the case,\u201d she states emphatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat catastrophic narrative \u2018sells\u2019 and promotes fear, but it doesn\u2019t describe what happens in the day-to-day reality of a person who uses these tools judiciously,\u201d she points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delgado argues that \u201cwhen AI is used with a clear purpose and understanding how to use it, it not only helps us to do more things by being more productive, but also to carry out those tasks in which we contribute the most value, as professionals and as people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear of change and losing one&#8217;s job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe risk is not that \u2018AI will take your job\u2019 overnight as if it were a monolithic entity,\u201d Delgado points out, explaining that the advancement of this technology in the workplace is more subtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem lies in the fact that &#8220;the progressive automation of specific tasks within a profession will force a retraining of skills that many people are not prepared to face because no one has honestly explained that process to them,&#8221; she warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a historical perspective, this engineer points out that \u201cevery technological leap \u2014the printing press, electricity, the internet\u2014 generated social panic, but in all cases adaptation was possible when there was training and time, and not when there was prohibition or denial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delgado admits that &#8220;it is legitimate to be afraid of change,&#8221; but emphasizes that &#8220;it is the responsibility of organizations and institutions to help overcome that fear in order to move forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atrophy of personal judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another risk that this expert considers real and &#8220;for which we as individuals bear a great deal of responsibility, is the atrophy of our own judgment, which leads to delegating our critical thinking to an AI tool instead of using it to expand it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we delegate decisions to machines because we are \u2018too lazy\u2019 to think, then who is generating the risk: technology or ourselves?\u201d she asks us to reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Delgado, &#8220;the time spent exposed to AI is fundamental (to dispel doubts, lack of knowledge and fears), and in some cases, it can even be beneficial.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, \u201cthe simple act of speaking aloud reduces the feeling of loneliness, and (dialogue) is something that an AI-powered machine can provide us,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat said, talking to a device that answers us can be beneficial, but only for a limited time. If a person overuses or abuses this interaction, the effects are the opposite, as it can lead to isolation,\u201d she warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paradigm of the \u2018augmented person\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To adopt a realistic, positive and fruitful attitude towards AI and to deactivate a possible &#8216;AI phobia&#8217;, Delgado recommends applying the concept of &#8220;the augmented person&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not about competing with the machine or surrendering to it, but about using it to expand our own judgment, our own voice, and our own work,\u201d she argues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She points out that &#8220;fear of AI is almost always fueled by ignorance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why, instead of being afraid or blindly enthusiastic, it&#8217;s advisable to delve deeper into digital literacy, since &#8220;using AI tools in a practical way, in something small and concrete, is the best antidote to panic and uncritical fascination,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also advises \u201cmaintaining our own judgment as a filter, since AI proposes, and you decide. It is not an authority; it is a tool to support your judgment, not a substitute for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Delgado recommends that digital literacy should not be a solitary endeavor, but rather that we learn about AI in community, sharing doubts and assuming that it is not necessary to have a technical profile to understand the essentials of this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWithout fear and with sound judgment\u201d: that is the attitude that Manuela Delgado recommends maintaining towards AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel Galilea.<br>EFE \u2013 Reports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Mason C\/Unsplash.
