The G7 of Industry in Verona and Trento emphasized the importance of placing man at the center of artificial intelligence, a sentiment echoed by Minister Adolfo Urso. However, cybersecurity expert Pierguido Iezzi believes that simply placing man at the center does not fully address the complexities of AI. He explains that while man is already central to AI, its anthropocentric architecture can lead to errors in data collection, algorithms, and potential risks.
Iezzi argues that decision-making processes involving AI are ultimately controlled by humans, despite technological advancements. To ensure the reliability of AI systems, there is a need to shift the focus towards responsible AI management rather than just placing man at the center. Training citizens on the use of AI and fostering a societal shift towards responsible AI is crucial in addressing potential risks associated with this technology.
The ongoing conflicts around the world serve as a reminder of the importance of effectively managing artificial intelligence. Iezzi warns against underestimating the dangers associated with AI, as neglecting these risks could have devastating consequences. Training and awareness programs are necessary to prepare individuals for changes brought about by AI and ensure responsible use of this technology.
To truly place man at the center of artificial intelligence, there needs to be a concerted effort to educate and empower individuals to make informed decisions about it. Collaboration between public and private sectors is crucial in driving this change and ensuring widespread understanding of AI-related risks and opportunities. The Government and G7 should reevaluate their approach to AI management and prioritize training programs to enable a shift towards responsible use of this technology in society.
