Forecasting the Impact of Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction

Author

  • Owen Davies

Abstract

Davies, executive editor of TechGlobal, writes this introduction to a four-part article about the impact of AI, written by Spyros Makridakis. Part one is in issue 47 of Foresight, others to follow. Davies mentions the early dire predictions about the disastrous outcome AI would have on employment and notes that lately there have been more cautious analyses of its effects. While it is far too early to tell the movement?s actual influence, Davies notes that Makridakis thinks the results will be neither dystopian nor utopian but a mix of benefits and liabilities.
