For AI to be effective, the technology needs access to data, including sensitive internal documents and customer information.
AI technology has limitations that stem from any one of the following: a lack of system resources, insufficient computing power, poorly defined algorithms, poorly implemented algorithms or weak rules and definitions.
The trick, according to Banks, is striking a balance between AI and human input.
Banks said critical decisions, especially those regarding users, should be entrusted to a human analyst who has the final say in how to proceed or what to change.
Banks, to make his case for human intervention and control of AI processes, used a physical-security example: automatic security gates to restrict unauthorized traffic.
Banks' argument is not whether AI technology should be deployed or not.
