    Study Notes

    European Law, (Big) Data, and Artificial Intelligence Applications

    • Lecture format: No research paper, oral exam.
    • Materials: Online lecture structure, mandatory readings, presentations (PWP).
    • Introduction: Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of AI's use.

    Advantages of AI

    • Business advantage: All businesses need AI in their models, or they risk being left behind.
    • Streamlines internal and customer-facing processes.
    • Faster, more precise results.
    • Eliminates human error and risk.
    • 24/7 availability (e.g., quick replies on bank apps).
    • Automates repetitive jobs.
    • Cost reduction.
    • Data processing/analysis: Handles complex data far exceeding human capacity.
    • Types of AI: Assisted, augmented, and autonomous intelligence. Assisted AI automates simple tasks & improves decision-making. Augmented AI enhances human intelligence. Autonomous AI acts independently.

    Disadvantages of AI

    • Costly implementation: Development costs can be high.
    • Lack of emotional intelligence and creativity: AI doesn't learn from mistakes in the same way as humans.
    • Degradation over time: AI systems generally degrade over time.
    • Risk of job displacement for humans.
    • Ethical concerns.
    • Discrimination: AI systems can perpetuate or amplify existing societal biases, especially in areas like recruitment. (Example given: Amazon's discriminatory hiring tools).
    • Misinformation and deepfakes: AI can be used to generate realistic but false content.
    • Lack of transparency: Understanding how AI systems arrive at conclusions can be difficult.
    • Safety concerns: AI systems can have unintended consequences or be used for malicious purposes (e.g., misuse in warfare).
