Risks of Artificial Intelligence

Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla Motors' electric car and SpaceX, already warned us: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely to become the greatest threat to society. Even astronomer Stephen Hawking and other scientists warned us. But a monster created by ourselves that wants to destroy humanity raises many questions.

When you think of AI, the first thing that might pop into your head are the Hollywood films where evil robots play the leading role and want to take over the world. Well, science fict

After a fourteen-year-old boy discovered a serious bug in Apple’s group FaceTime feature, his mother e-mailed, faxed, and tweeted the report to Apple. However, it wasn’t until after her tweet went viral that the bug was disabled. How could Apple have responded more efficiently and avoided this reputational risk?

8219689880?profile=originalLast Friday, Marriott disclosed that the data of about 500 million guests had been exposed as a result of a hack that dates all the way back to 2014.

In 2014, hackers exploited the reservation system of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, which was acquired by Marriott in 2016. The breach exposed user data that not only included names, phone numbers, email addresses, passport numbers, and dates of birth, but even access to some encrypted credit card data.

As a result of this breach, Marriott may be one o

8028276478?profile=originalUber has agreed to pay a hefty $148 million settlement after concealing a data breach in 2016 containing 57 million users’ data. In hopes of preventing this from recurring, it’s time for Uber to reassess their risk management practices, and in turn regain the public’s trust as well. 

Although this regulatory problem has resulted in a huge sum of money, this is not the greatest consequence Uber will face due to a risk management failure. The hit on Uber’s reputation is massive. The concept I call

Year over year, scandals like Wells Fargo, Equifax, Chipotle and so many others have dominated news headlines as they wreak havoc on consumers, investors, and awaken industry and government regulators. What is driving this trend?

Consumers have entrusted corporations with increasing involvement and influence in their lives through the decades. In 2014, for example, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations have some of the rights and responsibilities as natural persons. In other words, corporatio

8028272083?profile=originalWells Fargo has suffered the consequences of repeat scandals since 2016. This week, the bank agreed to a $1 billion settlement with federal regulators who have cited their lack of effective risk management practices as the root cause of their woes.

This settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency would be another blow to Wells Fargo in a long line of many.

Let’s look at a timeline of Wells Fargo’s risk management scandals:

The Orbitz data breach pales in comparison to the Equifax hack of 2017 and has been buried among headlines concerning Facebook. For many, this story barely counts as “news” because it’s just honestly not that “new.”

8028266893?profile=originalThis month, Tiger Brands, the major food conglomerate in South Africa, is entangled in a major scandal. 950 have fallen ill and 180 people have died from listeriosis, which makes this the biggest food-borne illness outbreak in history.

In the unraveling of this scandal, I see a proof point for two growing trends:
