An Illinois professor says the evolution of artificial intelligence, or AI, depends on our ability to balance the pros and cons of the technology. David Gunkel, professor of communications at Northern Illinois University, says artificial intelligence is not a new phenomenon, as some form of AI has been around since the 1950s.
Gunkel sees AI eventually costing some people their jobs, like those who write legal briefs, copywriting or even the visual arts.
As the technology expands, regulation is sure to follow. In 2020, Illinois adopted the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act, which establishes parameters for employer use of AI during the hiring process.
