Company warns of the dangers of Artificial Intelligence

Samsung Chairman Young Sohn was present at the Web Summit at a conference that served as an executive to explain the path that technology has been making in recent years in the area of ​​Artificial Intelligence (AI). During this time, Sohn predicted that in the future all the details of people's lives will be guarded by AI, with all the details of DNA being stored in banks. You are not alone if you think that this proposal seems to leave a dystopian future, something to which Sohn himself is well aware and has been keen to note the importance of addressing these issues with ethics. In an interview with the Business Insider after this conference, Sohn continued to elaborate."I worry about that. That's why I talked about ethics. I mean, we should worry about that. What is right? What is wrong? That's why I said, that we have to be driven by principles. What about the investigation? Great. But purposeful research, not to use this data to take advantage of humans, "commented Sohn.AI is an area that virtually every major technology is developing - Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon, for example - and that has sparked a good deal of criticism from well-known personalities such as Bill Gates and Elon Musk, which warn of the danger it poses to individual privacy.Samsung is also developing its own AI, with Sohn noting that "your data on a Samsung smartphone stays with Samsung on your smartphone," ensuring that the company "has no access" to data that will help prevent and diagnose diseases.
