The Age of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics: Challenges and Issues

Abstract

Artificial intelligence continues to advance and play an increasingly prominent role in different aspects of human life. We are also witnessing the emergence of an increasing number of various types of bots equipped with sophisticated software that enables them to interact and communicate with humans. Developments in artificial intelligence and robotics also raise challenges and issues with implications for ethics and leadership. In this article, major challenges and issues brought about by the developments in artificial intelligence and robotics are addressed. As creators of artificial intelligence and various types of bots, we have an ethical responsibility toward our creation and toward other humans. As leaders, we are to be aware of challenges and issues in order to deal with them in a prudent and timely manner.
