in1956.

constantly learn and develop. Many organisations that want to take on AI projects, do
not have sufficient data or enough of useful data that could be used by AI machine.
• Data collection bias: Many AI systems are trained using data that sometimes
lends itself to biasness. An AI system can only be as good as the data that has been
programmed into it. When the data programme is biased, the system is trained
according to that. As humans can take incorrect decisions based on biased thought
or approach, in the same way an AI system can also take a wrong decision.
• Ethical limitations: The reluctance of humans letting machines take over the
tasks that they are accustomed to do, results in ethical limitations as AI might not be
able to take and implement decisions based on the ethical versatility a human has.
