New Year, a chance with a new start. The world faces new challenges and other challenges that remain on the “check-list”. As we continue to strive for our personal goals, the world as a faithful reflection of us is dealing with the same old conflicts, complicated relationships: ups and downs. What does 2023 hold for us? A worsening climate crisis, a war on our doorstep that will be a year older, new ways of communication or interpreting situations. The Metaverse or artificial intelligence will be the technological keys for 2023.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that is revolutionizing the way we live and work. But it also raises concerns about how it can contribute to inequality in the world. One of the main ways it can increase inequality is through the replacement of human jobs by robots or AI systems, which can lead to job loss and greater inequality in terms of income and opportunities. In addition, access to AI technology can be limited to some people or communities, further exacerbating inequality. AI can also favor discrimination through bias in its design and use, as it can reproduce or intensify existing inequalities if it is trained on data that reflects those inequalities. If it is used in a discriminatory manner or to reinforce the oppression of certain groups, it can also contribute to inequality.
It is important to take these considerations into account to ensure that it should be used ethically and fairly,with including measures such as transparency in design and the responsibility of AI developers, as well as investing in training and education programs to help people adapt to the changes brought by this technology.
The great digital revolution in which we are immersed is further exacerbating the gap between rich and poor. This is because the pauses that are being incorporated into technological advances are becoming even more separated from those who are limited to seeing them pass by. It is estimated that AI will add $15 trillion to the world’s GDP by 2030, half of this amount will remain in China, a quarter in the United States, and the rest will be distributed unevenly among some countries of the world. This means that inequality between countries will continue to increase. That is why it is important for countries that are falling behind to take measures to benefit from this new technology.
