Consumers’ Concerns with Generative AI
Interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise, but a new report shows that consumers are increasingly worried about how companies use the technology. The report, released by Salesforce, reveals a growing trust gap as businesses adopt generative AI tools to scale up their operations.
Key Points:
- Only 13% of consumers completely trust companies to use AI ethically.
- 10% of consumers have complete distrust of generative AI usage by companies.
- 89% of consumers believe it’s important to know if they’re communicating with AI or a human.
- 80% of consumers think human validation of AI-generated output is crucial.
- US Senators have proposed AI bills to ensure human involvement in critical decision-making.
In response to these concerns, Paula Goldman, the Chief Ethical Officer at Salesforce, emphasizes the importance of collecting quality data, ensuring transparency and consent, and building methodologies that prioritize data security and customer trust. Additionally, executives from AI giants like Google and OpenAI have committed to safe and transparent AI development, and the UK is working on AI regulation.
Hot Take:
As generative AI becomes more prevalent, companies must address consumer concerns about ethics, data security, and biases. Prioritizing transparency, human involvement, and customer trust is essential for businesses to bridge the widening trust gap.
