“Throughout 2021 and 2022, the world began to experiment with a massive influx of commercially available AI-assisted and AI-powered tools that can be used, whether knowingly or unknowingly, during the process of creating, researching, and innovating. Looking ahead to 2023, we will start witnessing the legal and regulatory impact of these tools.”
In general, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies has the potential to impact society in many ways. These technologies can automate tasks and make them more efficient, which can lead to job displacement and other economic impacts. They can also be used to make decisions that affect people’s lives, such as in the criminal justice system or in hiring, which raises ethical concerns. Additionally, the development and use of AI and machine learning technologies can raise issues related to privacy and security.
