Artificial intelligence is seeping into everyday use. AI tools can help organize your mountain of family photos that grew over the holidays by identifying faces and grouping pictures of the same person. On social media, AI-altered images are often indistinguishable from those made by humans. The use of chatbots has grown in academic settings for better or for worse.
There are many uses for AI as the technology becomes more accessible and normalized, but not everyone is excited about that premise. AI scholar and activist Joy Buolamwini is one of those critics. She’s the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League and author of the book "Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines."

..."The need for clear policies
Governments worldwide are formulating AI policies to meet these challenges head-on. Nigeria, too, should craft a comprehensive AI policy to safeguard its economy, polity, and society. Policymakers must strike a delicate balance between fostering innovation and addressing ethical concerns.
AI’s frenetic development brings both promise and peril. The global community, from religious leaders to tech innovators, acknowledges the ethical concerns and calls for regulation. The need for transparency, accountability, and international cooperation in AI’s development cannot be overstated.
As AI continues its rapid evolution, the world watches closely. In a landscape where innovation and ethics collide, the responsibility to protect humanity rests on the shoulders of policymakers, regulators, and governments. The imperative for global AI regulation is clear, as the world seeks to harness AI’s benefits while safeguarding humanity’s core values."

Artificial Intelligence is certainly interesting. Just this morning Microsoft's Bing AI told me that "Eight is the only odd number without the letter e in it"
