AI expert to become philosopher: – Becomes more important

Lars Erlend Leganger, Chief Technology Officer at PwC, says that as AI becomes more prevalent, humanistic competence is becoming increasingly relevant. He notes that AI will soon be used for decision-making previously done by humans, requiring precise thinking and communication about philosophical and ethical concepts. Leganger cites examples of AI-related ethical dilemmas, such as a self-driving car's decision-making in a potentially fatal accident.

He believes that Norway will be slower to adopt AI-related philosophical and ethical considerations, as it is more of an AI user than producer.
