Mark Neufurth talked about the challenges of using AI, even though it's a powerful tool. Here's the gist of it:

• Knowledge:  It can be confusing and requires a lot of knowledge to use effectively. There just aren't enough people who can work with it yet.
• AI can be expensive: Big companies like Microsoft can afford to invest in AI, but smaller businesses might not have the budget.
• Building your own AI is tough: There are legal issues, costs, and keeping it running smoothly can be a challenge. Many companies rely on open-source AI models instead.
• AI can be complicated: Some businesses just want to use AI without the hassle of maintaining it, while others need help building their own AI solutions.

Overall, Neufurth is saying that AI is great, but there are hurdles to overcome before everyone can use it easily.

1. Real-time Bias Detection: Recognizing the importance of ethical AI development and the need to detect and address biases in real time to ensure fairness and inclusivity.
2. Contingencies for AI Failures: Highlighting the necessity of regular audits, continuous monitoring, and contingency plans to mitigate unexpected AI failures and ensure alignment with ethical standards and regulations.
3. Responsible AI Policies: Emphasizing the collective effort required to develop and implement responsible AI policies, including alignment with organizational values, oversight procedures, and considerations for data privacy and security.
4. Societal and Environmental Impact: Discussing the potential societal and environmental consequences of AI, urging for a balanced approach and consideration of unintended consequences.
