Governments and companies are already deploying AI to assist in making decisions that have major consequences for the lives of citizens and societies. AI offers far-reaching benefits for human development but also presents risks. These include further division between the privileged and the unprivileged, erosion of individual freedoms through surveillance, and the replacement of independent thought and judgement with automated control.
