In my experience working on AI, ML, and GenAI experiments in the financial technology context, the most difficult challenge to overcome is providing the human end user with an evidence package that fully explains how and why the AI/ML/GenAI agent came to its conclusion.
Especially in the lending space, bankers have been unwilling to implement models they cannot fully explain to their regulators. There has to be a level of certainty that the borrower is a good risk when committing to lending money. Makes sense, right?
It seems to me that the Israeli military is being less conservative in their use of AI in life and death situations than banks are being in using the same technologies in lending money. This is a serious problem.
I strongly believe AI technologies will fully transform the way humanity interacts with machines, but this should be a cautionary tale for all militaries and companies looking to implement solutions with AI. We need to be able to explain what these agents are doing before we turn over too much of the decision-making responsibilities to machines.
Israel built an ‘AI factory’ for war. It unleashed it in Gaza.
