Artificial intelligence is a tool with the potential to do great good in the world. Perhaps you’ve already benefited from it, using it to analyze data or solve a problem. But like any tool used irresponsibly, or in the wrong hands, artificial intelligence can do harm. If not used safely, it can contribute to data and privacy violations. Cybercriminals can exploit its ability to mimic and generate images and language.
