The Financial Times reports that executives are racing to adopt AI while trying to limit ethical and reputational harm. Here is what that means for you.
Companies are moving fast to use artificial intelligence, and many are still working out the rules to keep it in check. The Financial Times reports that executives are trying to balance adopting the technology quickly against the chance of causing harm.
Based on the summary available, the report names two main risks. One is ethical problems, such as AI being used in ways that are unfair or wrong. The other is damage to a company's reputation if something goes badly. The title says executives are playing catch-up, which suggests the rules are trailing behind the tools.
