As the proverbial saying goes, artificial intelligence (AI) governance professionals certainly live in interesting times as AI gains mass adoption and is seeing rapid technology advancements fueled by huge investor appetite. All these advancements have also fueled public concerns that AI might one day take over humanity or at the very least be misused.
