Challenges And Market Restraints Of Gen AI
Although many companies are now integrating with Generative AI, there are also challenges and market drawbacks that each individual should consider when using AI.
- Misinformation: Generative AI models, such as LLM-based ones, are trained on large datasets available online. However, LLM-based tools lack the ability to check for up-to-date information, whereas humans perform this manually with greater precision.
- Deepfakes: With the use of deepfakes, scammers can easily generate images, videos, audio and spread misleading information or manipulate a large number of people. It happens mostly on social media platforms.
- Data Privacy Risks: The use of AI always raises concerns about data security. It stores a large amount of data on each individual, which is not a good sign of personal security.
- Copyright Issues: As AI tools are trained on existing information available on the internet, they can derive from copyrighted content, or they may create new content that closely copies or resembles existing protected creative works.
- Complex Workflow: With too many Gen AI integrations in the workflow, it can be challenging for the specific tool or software to manage the step-by-step automation process.
