Soumitra Dutta Tells Us Why People Will Always Come Before Artificial Intelligence

It is quite understandable for commoners with basic degrees to fear artificial intelligence, especially in its current avatar. Day after day, there is news about companies laying off employees because AI is equipped to do their jobs, but according to Soumitra Dutta, AI is a subject that is far, far away from something that we must fear. Mr. Soumitra Dutta, who was the former dean at Oxford’s Said Business School, has a doctorate in artificial intelligence, which makes him an excellent source to take some insights from when it comes to AI. The problem with most corporations laying off employees is that they have already assumed that AI is the replacement, but their naïve minds are unable to comprehend the fact that AI is a mere tool that humans must find ways to optimize and use effectively to strengthen real-time decision-making. Mr. Soumitra Dutta Oxford Dean (Former) does not believe that AI is something that is going to replace humans, and he is not wrong if you look at it from a practical perspective.

In The Age of War, Are People First Or AI?

The ongoing war between the USA/Israel, and Iran has shaken everyone, and this is the second war after the Ukraine-Russia war, which is a disaster to infrastructure and mankind. One common thing in both these wars is the use of AI to attack enemies, maybe not directly, but yes, AI is actively used. Soumitra Dutta Oxford Dean (Former)  has always emphasized the fact that AI must always be used in favor of human interest and not against them. Also, AI is nothing but a technology, and technology always comes with glitches. So is using such technology, which, if it malfunctions in crucial moments during war and claims the lives of innocents, morally correct?

Be prepared for the evolving technology that is artificial intelligence

Soumitra Dutta Oxford Dean (Former) continues to stand firm on his thoughts about what he thinks AI has in store for us. Mr. Dutta tells us that in the coming years, we can expect more evolutionary avatars of artificial intelligence, and as much as it is influencing people, it will impact more industries than it does today. But looking at how the current world powers are exploiting AI to win the war, Dutta’s question still remains fresh as if he asked it yesterday – Will societies be able to govern AI so that it does not disrupt the normalcy of our lives as it continues to develop and innovate into newer formats?
