Capabilities and limitations of AI

Today’s AI tools can do a lot to enhance your work. ​

  • They can generate content, ​like assisting a marketing team ​by making a promotional video for a new product. 
  • ​They can analyze information quickly, ​like highlighting the key points of a long email thread. ​
  • They can answer questions in a detailed and nuanced way. 
  • ​And overall, they can simplify your day-to-day ​and allow you to focus on other aspects of your work

While AI can complete a variety of tasks, ​there are some tasks that require a human touch, ​such as handling sensitive issues. ​These limitations can be critical in certain contexts.

  • AI can’t learn independently. ​It needs people to continually update its training. 
  • ​Shortcomings in an AI tool’s training data ​can also potentially reflect or amplify biases, ​leading to skewed or unfair outcomes. ​
  • Another major limitation ​is that AI output can sometimes contain inaccuracies, ​otherwise known as hallucinations. ​Hallucinations are AI outputs that are not true.
