Financial institutions run the risk that when chatbots ingest customer communications and provide responses, the information chatbots provide may not be accurate, the technology may fail to recognize that a consumer is invoking their federal rights, or it may fail to protect their privacy and data.
Though ChatBot is a major innovation in AI, it has few disadvantages and potential risks. Here are some of the problems of ChatBots: ChatBots has high error rate: They are just software systems and cannot capture variations in human conversations. Thus resulting high error rate and less customer satisfaction.
Chatbots rely on the information they are fed, so the information they provide is only as reliable as that source data. If someone trains a chatbot on inaccurate information, they can spread misinformation to every person that interacts with them.
Security Risks
As AI technologies become increasingly sophisticated, the security risks associated with their use and the potential for misuse also increase. Hackers and malicious actors can harness the power of AI to develop more advanced cyberattacks, bypass security measures, and exploit vulnerabilities in systems.

Lack of Human Interaction
Customers may feel like they are not being heard or valued when they are interacting with a chatbot, leading them to turn their backs on businesses that use them.
Changes in work practices
Increased monitoring may lead to micromanagement and thus to stress and anxiety. A perception of surveillance may also lead to stress. Controls for these include consultation with worker groups, extensive testing, and attention to introduced bias.
But there are concerns that AI could be something of a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to kids. Risks range from privacy and safety issues to psychological and behavioral effects, according to a report by UNICEF and the World Economic Forum. Those can come from social media, for example.
These negative effects include unemployment, bias, terrorism, and risks to privacy, which the paper will discuss in detail.
These include: damaging competition, consumer privacy and consumer choice; excessively automating work, fueling inequality, inefficiently pushing down wages, and failing to improve worker productivity; and damaging political discourse, democracy's most fundamental lifeblood.
AI has the potential to bring about numerous positive changes in society, including enhanced productivity, improved healthcare, and increased access to education. AI-powered technologies can also help solve complex problems and make our daily lives easier and more convenient.
Like all software, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) is vulnerable to hacking. But because of the way it has to be trained, AI/ML is even more susceptible than most software—it can be successfully attacked even without access to the computer network it runs on.
So providing live chat assistance to your customers seems vital, but implementation is the key. One of the main reasons behind the failure of chatbots is the lack of human intervention that plays a crucial role in configuring, training, and optimizing the system without which bots risk failure.
Transparency: One of the key ethical issues with AI chatbots is transparency. Users should be aware that they are interacting with a chatbot and not a human being. AI chatbots should be designed to clearly disclose their identity and inform users about the limitations of their abilities.
But just like sci-fi robots, real world bots can have a dark side, too. Cybercriminals can program bots to do some of their nefarious bidding for them. On an even grander scale, bad actors can infect entire networks of computers with malware — so-called botnets — to help in their phishing or DDoS attacks, for example.
AI can automate tasks that previously only humans could complete, such as writing an essay, organizing an event, and learning another language. However, experts worry that the era of unregulated AI systems may create misinformation, cyber-security threats, job loss, and political bias.
By analyzing patterns in people's online activities and social media interactions, AI algorithms can predict what a person is likely to do next. Cult leaders and dictators can use predictive models to manipulate people into doing what they want by providing incentives or punishments based on predicted behavior.
Meanwhile, the datasets used to train AI are increasingly large and take an enormous amount of energy to run. The MIT Technology Review reported that training just one AI model can emit more than 626,00 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent – which is nearly five times the lifetime emissions of an average American car.
Privacy Concerns With AI in Healthcare
Healthcare AI adoption is hindered by the vast amount of data that the majority of AI systems demand which, in turn, increases the possibility of data leakages.
