There is a theory circulating among technology specialists that the AI wave, that has garnered attention and significant investments, has shown characteristics of a new "bubble" about to burst, as has happened in the past with other solutions. The explanation lies in the fact that the same movement occurred with the Internet in 1999 and with self-driving cars in 2017, claiming that the“dot AI”, how has the new bubble been called, it may have even greater economic effects than its predecessors
Technology expertsbase their opinionsin a fundamental point that has yet to be resolved in the use of AI: reliability. As a clear example of this deficiency, many users of tools with GPT-4 language claim completely fabricated false facts by the language models that can go unnoticed by the user, becoming the 'Achilles' heel' of this still emerging technology, explain Gabrielle Ribon, lawyer and innovation enthusiast and Master's student in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Edinburgh
Ribbon, that operates in the financial market with a focus on new products and technologies, besides being a specialist in Creative Technologies from Miami Ad School, claims that "if this crucial point cannot be resolved, technology is useless, "once it does not fulfill its function"
Furthermore, the training and maintenance of AI models consume a significant amount of energy. This information is confirmed by the statement that theGoogle had an increase of almost 50% in carbon emissions compared to 2019, precisely due to the expansion of data centers to support artificial intelligence systems
"The concern about the possibility of a crisis related to the technology sectors", banking and energy due to market speculation comes at a hot moment for the use of this technological modality, once a good part of industries and services has been looking for ways to incorporate machine learning tools into their activities, alert the specialist
Among these industries, there is a main highlight for the financial market. In Brazil, the Febraban, main representative of the national banking sector, has advocated for the use of AI in the sector and in the economy as a whole, focusing on the defense of the ethical and responsible employment of this solution
According to Gabrielle Ribon, the market's interest in artificial intelligence is inevitable, considered an exponential technology focused on the analysis of large volumes of data. "The promise to increase productivity", to assist in the execution of repetitive tasks and identification of patterns, is tempting. However, it will be crucial to solve the reliability issue, since false information is not useful for improving processes and making strategic decisions. It is necessary for the market and users to critically assess the progress and use of this technology, to avoid significant economic and environmental impacts, закінчує
