Imagine Ways that Artificial Intelligence Could Change the World

AI is all around you: it automatically tags people in your photos; detects spam in
your email; decides what ads you see on social media; and determines what movies,
videos, or music appear in your recommendations. You interact with it when you use a
smart assistant like Alexa or Siri. One day you may get a ride from a self-driving car.
Even if you avoid all of these, the food you eat, the newspaper you read, and the
medical treatment you receive are most likely created with the help of an AI-driven
solution. AI is changing the world.

Unfortunately, when a new technology or innovation comes into the world, it often
comes with unexpected consequences. People find creative and surprising ways to use
new capabilities—sometimes to help and sometimes to do harm.

It is not easy to predict how new AI-driven solutions will change our world, but when we
carefully consider the possibilities we can see where some problems might arise. Then
we can take steps to make our AI-driven solutions safer.

1.​ Look up examples of current AI applications. If this feels too broad, limit the
scope to machine learning, facial recognition, or emotion AI applications. Read
the Digging Deeper section to learn about these different branches of AI.
2.​ What AI-driven solution to a problem would you like to study? You can
imagine a new AI-driven solution, or you can choose an existing one or one
that is under development.

For your AI-driven solution, briefly write down how you envision this product being
beneficial to humans.

4. How might your AI-driven solution serve the people who use it? How would it
work, and what problem(s) would it solve?

New technology and innovation might come with unintended consequences.

5. What are some unexpected uses or unintended consequences that could


arise when your AI-driven solution encounters the outside world?

For your AI-driven solution, write down some of the unintended consequences you
thought of in Step 3. If it is hard to find unintended consequences, search the web for
"unintended consequences of AI in area that includes your application." For example,
search "unintended consequences of AI in medicine" for an AI-driven medical device or
"unintended consequences of AI in autonomous vehicles" for a new type of autonomous
AI-driven delivery system.

Use storytelling to share your AI-driven solution with others. Choose a medium
such as text, drawings, comic, graphic novel, videos, slides, or collages. Include
answers to the following questions.

a.​ What is the AI-driven solution?


b.​ What problem does this AI-driven solution solve?
c.​ How will the AI-driven solution interact with the world?
d.​ How will the solution help people?
e.​ What are some potential unintended consequences, misuses, or dangers to
society?
