The discussion, moderated by Cointelegraph's Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr, highlights the opportunities AI offers to reshape society, the challenges of setting acceptable online behaviors with automation, and the personal and professional implications of AI-induced changes.

The explosive growth in artificial intelligence (AI) has elicited a spectrum of responses, from fear to elation. Given AI's rapid evolution, how we can restore faith in it continues to be a pressing issue. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr, Cointelegraph ambassador and editor-at-large, led a panel discussion on AI sentiment which resonates this year's forum theme - rebuilding trust.
The leaders expressed a prevailing sense of optimism and anticipation. "Personally, I’m not anxious about AI-induced rapid change," stated Viviana Gropengiesser, director of entrepreneurship at the ETH AI Center, "Aware of all complexities, I see it as an unprecedented opportunity to reshape our world and society."
ETH AI is short for Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, also known as the Federal Technical Institute, which houses an AI research center.
Meanwhile, Clara Tsao, the co-founding officer of the Filecoin Foundation, emphasized the accountability that accompanies such newfound power. Referencing the complications arising with each innovation wave, she mentioned, "Companies today are pondering over what qualifies as acceptable online content and behavior, a challenge that amplifies with automation." Tsao also acknowledged the other side of the coin, such as immediate translations, access to art, and other benefits.
Head of data and AI at Microsoft Switzerland, Franziska-Juliette Klebôn, underscored the importance of resolving AI standards in both multimillion corporations like Google and Microsoft, and smaller enterprises. “How do we keep up with this rapid change? How do we upgrade our skills?” she pondered. Those daunting questions are now being tackled by the United Nations, European Union, and governments alike.
Aditi Joshi, the lead of Google Cloud AI program, concurred with this approach. "Once we establish governance... AI will enhance efficiency significantly," she opined, while cautioning about the personal consequences of longer hours induced by AI, and emphasized the need for personal checks and balances.
