Challenges for the Application of AI Technology: Case Studies from Amazon, Alphabet, Boston Dynamics, and IBM
This project contributes to the emerging line of scholarship that takes a more critical view of the developments in AI technology and analyzes, in good faith, the challenges these technologies face. Despite the vast range of AI technologies and the equally expansive range of products and services made possible by AI, there are common thematic challenges faced by each technology. After reviewing the relevant academic and journalistic literatures, this study found three such themes: technical, commercial, and social. Using this thematic framework, a case study is conducted to investigate the challenges faced by four different types of AI technologies from four different companies: Alexa (Amazon), YouTube algorithm (Alphabet) Atlas (Boston Dynamics) and (Watson) IBM. The findings reveal considerable similarities within those challenges, within the possible solution to those challenges, and even within the challenges to those proposed solutions.
