Trendmap of the Digital Economy and Society developed by W.I.R.E

In a trend map created by the think tank W.I.R.E., strategic actions are outlined for promoting trust and responsibility. Over the next decade, we’ll see greater individual empowerment, improved convenience, new communities, and enhanced security. However, we must also address issues like data opacity, algorithmic bias, loss of control, and privacy erosion. SDI plans to pursue new projects and initiatives in response.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI algorithms… Are those buzzwords for you? Its effect on our daily lives is not yet fully recognisable. However, you can be sure AI has found its way into your life, you just don’t know it yet.

For example, 

  • If you select a movie on Netflix, you can be certain that an AI algorithm influenced your choice.
  • If you  apply for a job via an online application form, you can be  certain that part of the selection is made by an AI algorithm.
  • If you request a new credit card, you can be certain your application is checked by an AI algorithm.
