Hello everyone 👋
It is no secret that we have talked about how AI is changing the tools and systems that we use and build, however, I thought I would share something a bit different today.
My recent blog post discusses a question that, in my opinion, is ignored most of the time: what do we really put at risk by including AI in our software?
Forget about the things out of a science fiction story. The factual, already-existing stuff.
Like the Samsung engineers who exposed confidential source code through ChatGPT accidentally.
Or the Amazon hiring algorithm that was silently penalising women applicants for years before anyone realized it.
Or the Air Canada chatbot, which gave a grieving passenger the wrong refund policy, and when the passenger asked for the refund, the airline even argued that the chatbot was a "separate legal entity" so that it wouldn't have to pay! (The court disagreed.)
I cover four risk areas in great detail, security, bias, privacy, and over-reliance, with real case studies and practical steps for each. It is intended to be understood by a reader who may be working in technology or simply using it.
Have you ever questioned the safety of the AI software that your company utilizes? Or maybe you are a student who is considering the use of AI? This article is definitely something you shouldn't miss.

It would be great if you could share your opinions through the comments section, have you experienced any of these risks in reality?
