Nothing Is Harder to Resist Than the Temptation of AI

Abstract

The use of generative AI has become increasingly prevalent in the business world. With the ability to create original content and automate certain tasks, businesses have been quick to adopt this technology. However, as with any emerging technology, there are potential pitfalls to be aware of. This article aims to review the current state of generative AI in business and highlight some of the potential risks associated with its use. Specifically, we examine issues such as pausing giant AI experiments, misinformation, data accuracy, process automation, shift of power, control of civilization, organizational security, and the potential for AI-generated content to deceive individuals. By bringing these concerns to the forefront, we hope to encourage a more thoughtful and cautious approach to the use of generative AI in business.
