"AI should serve people, not replace them." — Jack Ma

As AI grows more powerful, Jack Ma reminds us to stay focused on human-first innovation. Whether it's healthcare, education, or business, AI should support—not dominate—our lives.

Let’s build tools that enhance human potential, not eliminate it.

Ethical Use of AI in the Creative Process

How AI help Humanity

1. AI has and will continue to improve automation

Today, AI-enabled robots can easily perform a variety of automated tasks inside and outside the factory, without the need for constant human intervention. AI is a transformative technology for certain applications and tasks across a wide range of industries.

Machine learning, in-depth learning and other AI technologies are already being used to reduce the human workload in other areas such as assembly, packaging, customer service and HR.

It has significantly reduced operating costs and employee costs, bringing an unprecedented level of advanced automation.

It includes robots, new and improved machine tools and smart machine tools for plants of all sizes. Such examples clearly show the potential of AI for the future of work in the industry.

We may also see AI and robots working with human activists in the future. These robotic colleagues, known as "cobots", help to improve the overall efficiency and general well-being of their human colleagues without completely replacing human workers.

Companies like Amazon are already seeing benefits from this kind of working relationship between us and machines.

2. AI helps to eliminate the need for humans to do tedious tasks

One of the main advantages of artificial intelligence is the ability to reduce the risk of participating in multiple tasks. Repetitive, laborious tasks in any job are prohibited by most human workers around the world. Some are very boring, mistakes are common, because it is difficult to maintain human attention while performing repetitive tasks.

However, such tasks are well suited for computer automation. This is where advanced AIs can come to the rescue.

Machines excel at taking care of standard processing tasks such as data entry, freeing human jobs to focus on more creative and interactive aspects of their jobs or lives.

Thanks to the Applications of AI, let’s take the example of the banking sector which has seen some big progress in this area. Financial institutions today make full use of this technology to make banking easier and more convenient for consumers.

It has already gone to some extent in giving financial workers some relief from the laborious aspects of their jobs and focused on in-depth research and comprehensive customer experience analysis.

 3. Improving weather forecasting is another way AI can benefit humans

Weather forecasting is complex and calls for intensive computing and deep-learning networks that can enable computers to analyze and analyze large data sets faster than ever for humans.

Over the past few years, we have seen the use of artificial intelligence and its associated technologies in climate and weather forecasting. This field, known as “Climate Informatics” has already proven to be very fruitful, allowing greater collaboration between data scientists and meteorologists, which can bridge the gaps in our understanding.

4. AI can liberate humans without putting their lives on the line

It is a common trope that AI will one day be the end of humanity as robots and machines enslave, destroy or enslave us all.

However, what is often overlooked is that the inclusion of AI in our daily lives can relieve us of many responsibilities that we may or may not need.

A convincing example in this regard is the future of war and weapons. As Paul Sharray’s book “Army of Nuns” points out, AI shows enormous promise as a potential application in war.

As he says in his book, in the future, it is hoped that the military and machine intelligence will work together to conduct wars. This means that AI and robots take on more dangerous roles in combat instead of literally keeping humans on the line of fire.

Needless to say, there are very serious ethical issues to work on first before giving AI the ability to take on life.

But, AI can help save human lives in other areas such as disaster rescue situations. One day, we may see AI-powered firefighters or help first responders identify and rescue survivors during environmental or industrial disasters.

5. AI is on-call at all times

AI never sleeps. Unlike the ominous statement, it is actually very beneficial for all of us.

Humans need to eat, sleep and rest, no machines and no AI. As long as there is a power supply to it, in theory, AI can work at all times for eternity.

Humans work between 4 and 10 hours a day, excluding breaks such as toilet popping, smoking, or eating. AI never needs a bathroom break, sleep or eat, so can work 24x7 at maximum performance.

It minimizes errors, maintains critical services, and allows businesses and other organizations to provide services that their customers depend on (helplines, etc.). For academic and research institutions, this could lead to some big breakthroughs in future innovations that will have far-reaching benefits for all of us.

France wants to become an artificial intelligence hub

Emmanuel Macron and his government are launching a big initiative around artificial intelligence today. They want to turn France into one of the leading countries when it comes to artificial intelligence.

“[Artificial intelligence] is a technological, economical, social and obviously ethical revolution,” Macron said in a speech. “This revolution won’t happen in 50 or 60 years, it’s happening right now. There are new opportunities and we can choose to follow some innovations or not.”

Some of the best mathematics and engineering schools are in France, and some of the best data scientists and AI researchers come from France. Many of them now work in California or London for Facebook, Deepmind, etc. And the French government wants to capitalize on that soft power to make an AI push.

And yet, how do you attract engineers and scientists? France’s answer is quite complicated because the government doesn’t want to inject a ton of public money and call it a day. It’s all about creating an AI ecosystem with strong pillars.

France’s AI strategy

First, many private companies have opened or plan to open AI research centers in France. Facebook and Google already work with hundreds of researchers in Paris. Today, Samsung, Fujitsu, DeepMind, IBM and Microsoft all announced plans to open offices in France to focus on AI research.

This represents tens of millions of dollars in investments and hundreds of employees. “Everybody is saying that Silicon Valley is overflowing right now,” a source close to the French President told me. That’s why big tech companies need to find talent outside of the U.S.

Great progress on artificial intelligence is happening in France. Samsung chooses France to locate its new research center on artificial intelligence, creating more than 100 jobs. Thank you Young Sohn for taking the leap. #ChooseFrance #AIforhumanity pic.twitter.com/Ud6jNZOw30

— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) March 28, 2018

Foreign companies creating hundreds of jobs isn’t going to foster public research and European tech giants though — these companies are just tapping the smartest brains they can find. That’s why the French government wants to make it easier to work on fundamental research papers when you work for a private company.

The INRIA is going to create a national AI research program with four or five partners. The goal is quite simple — Macron said that there should be twice as many people studying and researching AI projects in France. Researchers will also be able to access and use some cloud computing capacities for their work.

It’s also going to get easier if you want to create a startup based on your research work or if you want to work for a private company during your PhD.

Second, France is going to set some new boundaries when it comes to data. French administrations are going to share new data sets so that anyone can build AI services using those data sets.

When it comes to health data, it looks like France wants to avoid another NHS/DeepMind scandal. While multiple French governments have worked on some kind of health data hub, Macron announced that this time it’s going to happen for real. The INDS is going to make sure that services and public institutions respect your privacy and grant authorizations on a case-by-case basis.

Third, when it comes to regulation, companies will be able to experiment in multiple industries. And it starts with autonomous vehicles. Companies will be able to test level 4 self-driving cars in 2019.

Overall, France is going to invest $1.85 billion (€1.5 billion) in AI projects, from public research to startup investments. Last year, Macron announced that there would be a new $11.2 billion (€10 billion) public fund managed by Bpifrance. Macron said today that AI startups should be the first priority of this new fund.

Making AI as neutral as possible

Arguably, the most interesting part of Macron’s speech was about the moral impact of artificial intelligence. As algorithms become more prominent, there’s a risk that they become black boxes that decide for you.

The French administration already has to share all its algorithms and data that they use following Axelle Lemaire’s law. But that’s still not the case for some touchy subjects. Macron said it’s still a work in progress.

Research projects or companies financed with public money will also have to share everything — this could impact public infrastructure companies for instance.

But it’s more complicated when you’re talking about private companies. Macron said GDPR was a step in the right direction. And now, he wants to go further.

He doesn’t have any practical suggestion for now, but he said that there should be an international certification authority. For instance, this authority could make sure that there’s no bias in training data sets. I don’t think Facebook or Google would enjoy this new regulation.

Finally, you introduce a bias if your staff is not diverse enough. That’s why schools and universities should make sure that they train a diverse group of people.

Not the first AI push

As Next INpact pointed out, there have been multiple reports on artificial intelligence over the past few years — FranceIA, the CNIL, the OPECST and the European Economic and Social Committee all wrote their own recommendations when it comes to AI policies.

Today, Fields medal winner and parliament member Cédric Villani shared a new report on artificial intelligence. It’s always an interesting read, and it was the inspiration for Macron’s speech today.

According to a source close to the French President, multiple ministers now have to focus on artificial intelligence for their own industries.

Today’s report feels more like a starting point than a conclusion. The French President thinks that AI is something important but not urgent. Now, it’s all about convincing the rest of the government to put aside all the urgent tasks for a minute and look at what’s important.
