The WEF also noted that AI offers productivity benefits and breakthroughs in fields as diverse as healthcare, education and climate change.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has published its 19th Global Risks Report, highlighting a novel global threat — artificial intelligence (AI) — and exploring its diverse implications in a dedicated section.
The WEF report explores the varied impact of AI. It outlines the adverse outcomes of AI technologies, some intended or unintended negative consequences of advances in AI and related technological capabilities (including generative AI) on individuals, businesses, ecosystems and economies.
The report also identifies quantum computing, a system reliant on AI, as a potential disruptor, posing risks to the existing tech landscape and introducing substantial security concerns. It categorizes the adverse outcomes of AI in frontier technologies to include quantum computing, biotechnology and geoengineering.
