We’re now in the earliest stage of a profound change, the Age of AI.
The risks created by artificial intelligence can seem overwhelming, but it will be the foundation of our world.
At the moment we are unprepared for the challenges and changes it is and will bring to our lives.
What happens to people who lose their jobs to an intelligent machine?
Could AI affect the results of an election?
What if a super AI establishes its own goals?
What if they conflict with humanity’s?
Should we even make a super AI at all?
What if a future AI decides it doesn’t need humans anymore and wants to get rid of us?
————————
We’re facing big questions raised by the way the current technology works, the ways people will use it for ill intent, and the ways AI will change us as a society and as individuals.
Ai is no longer just a tool, it’s a force multiplier—capable of unlocking hidden opportunities, accelerating efficiencies, and empowering a workforce hungry for the next era of productivity.
I have blogged and written before about how AI is going to revolutionize our lives.
It will help solve problems—in health, education, climate change, and more—that used to seem intractable.
One thing that’s clear from everything that has been written so far about the risks of AI—and a lot has been written—is that no one has all the answers.
Another thing that’s clear to me is that the future of AI is not as grim as some people think or as rosy as others think.
The risks are real, but I am optimistic that they can be managed if we pass laws governing its transparency and accountability.
Whether we reach that point in a decade or a century, society will need to reckon with profound questions.
Most AI technologies don’t even require access to substantial capital any longer.
Many of the problems caused by AI can also be managed with the help of AI.,
We’ll need to adapt old laws and adopt new ones.
The idea that technology can be used to spread lies and untruths is not new.
People have been doing it with books and leaflets for centuries.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
