An ethics expert strongly recommends experimenting with different ways of using artificial intelligence, but at the same time staying alert.
Anna Savonen, an ethics expert, has studied artificial intelligence as a consultant and researcher for companies. She emphasises that the users of artificial intelligence must be aware of the factors affecting artificial intelligence.
“Artificial intelligence involves many ethical aspects. I encourage people to stop and think for a moment before using AI,” she advises.
Artificial intelligence has learned statistical connections between different words and phrases. It provides a lot of information, but you cannot blindly trust it. It remains up to humans to assess whether the information produced by artificial intelligence is true or false.
In the case of free AI generators, the user pays for the use by providing data, but it is difficult to see to which technology company the data will ultimately go. The data is used, for example, for the development of artificial intelligence
Many companies use closed systems that are subject to a fee and do not provide data outside the company.
Artificial intelligence can do a lot of good in areas such as healthcare, safety and environmental protection.
For example, artificial intelligence can analyse X-ray images with great precision or speed up diagnosis, even though the final treatment decisions must always be made by the healthcare professionals. In environmental work, artificial intelligence can, for example, monitor the effects of climate change and predict extreme weather phenomena by screening a huge amount of data extremely quickly.
It should also be remembered that AI platforms and services are being developed by technology giants. Which means these companies have a lot of power globally.
From February next year, every organisation that uses and develops AI should develop its AI literacy skills to some extent.
In addition, there are certain requirements for the use of artificial intelligence in recruitment, such as that the systems used must not be based on discriminatory information or algorithms that could harm certain groups of people, such as based on gender, race or age, and that the final choices must always be made by people.
Schools are shared workplaces with employees from several employers. People at Havukoski School are constantly thinking about how to develop safety and ensure that messages are transferred effectively even in dangerous situations.
Improving occupational safety at a shared workplace requires cooperation, clear operating models and continuous monitoring.
Improving safety requires continuous risk assessment and effective communication. Monitoring by occupational safety and health authorities has revealed significant shortcomings in occupational safety and health at shared workplaces.
At the Meyer Turku shipyard, approximately 80 per cent of the production of cruise ships is subcontracted. Matti Tuimala, Safety Manager at the shipyard, explains how safety is ensured at the huge shared workplace.
