Additional Information
The misuse of advanced technology
Misuse of advanced technology refers to the intentional negligent or unethical application of innovations like AI, biotechnology and advanced communication systems to cause harm, bypass security or violate privacy. A 2023 study showed a Microsoft API was tricked by AI generated deepfakes over 75% of the time and the average cost of a data breach in 2024 was USD 4.88 million.
The health issues of AI
Artificial intelligence poses several direct and indirect health risks, ranging from immediate patient safety concerns to broader, long term diagnostics, which can lead to misdiagnoses and the use of biased data to train systems which can lead to worsening existing health inequalities. If an AI is trained on data that is not representative of all population, it can perpetuate and even exacerbate, racial and gender disparities in healthcare.
Countries that use it daily
South Korea, USA, Japan, China and Switzerland are global leaders in daily advanced technology usage. These nations dominate in areas like AI, high speed 5G connectivity, advanced robotics, automation and widespread digital infrastructure, setting standards for everyday technology integration.
