(Three minute read)

Few of us realize what this really involves.

We are in a world full of noise,  substitution ciphers – concealment ciphers, transposition ciphers, all that can only be deciphered using AI programs, testing millions of combinations per second.

Self learning AI will not address us in the fulness of our humanity, so I suppose it is reasonable to presume that there is no one who knows the realistic answer to this question . .

Perhaps the question should be: Will people relate to each other as people and not as things?

( We live in an unjust society but we wish it were not. The two parts of this statement are inseparable and exist in constant tension with each other)

The ultimate goal is artificial general intelligence, a self-teaching system that can outperform humans across a wide range of disciplines. Some scientists believe it’s 30 years away; others talk about centuries.

This AI “take-off,” also known as the singularity, will likely see AI pull even with human intelligence and then blow past it in a matter of days. Or hours.

Imagine one day you ask your AI-enabled Soul band wrist device to tune in to a broadcast from the Supreme Court, where lawyers are arguing the year’s most anticipated case. An AI known as Alpha 4, which specializes in security and space exploration, brought the motion, demanding that it be deemed a “person” and given the rights that every person enjoys.

Imagine that, in 2065, AIs help run nation-states. Countries that have adopted AI-assisted governments are thriving.

You might think that this is all hypothetical nonsense, however I am sure you are acquittal aware of just how complicated it has become to navigate modern day living, not to mention the array of other intrusive activates of AI. Algorithms, freed from human programmers, are training themselves on massive data sets and producing results that have shocked even the optimists in the field. All creating societies of greed – a problem that is now systemic with the reality that we stand on the destruction of the the very things needed for life in the first place, which is progressing at a run away pace – Climate Change.

How then do we change the world without taking power?

If we don’t want to live lives ruled by a few World clongonmerations without any say?

A.I. experts talk about “alignment” — that is, making sure A.I. systems are in line with human values and goals.

But how can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously?

Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits – but also undesirable situations where moral responsibility for their actions cannot be properly attributed to any particular person or group.

How can designers, users, or other human agents be morally responsible for systems that are designed to perform tasks, learn, and adapt without direct human control?

If we are not to have a say, the solution is simple.

However this can not be achieved without : A NEW WORD ORGANISATION TO POLICE ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE IN ALL ITS FORM AND USAGE. ( I don’t speak here of just one AI, but of hundreds, each specializing in a complex task—and many of the applications are already lapping the humans that made them.)

THIS ORGANISATION MUST HOLD ALL CODES THAT DRIVES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Why?

Because with AI there is no such thing as one truth, only several truths.

Because AI’s will have no boundaries, morally or otherwise.

Power and knowledge are now so intrinsic all connect they are now almost the two faces of the same coin.

Remember that  truth in historical discourse is not objective but subjective.

So the truth in AI terms will need to be redefine.

Will robots become self-aware? Will they have rights? Will they be in charge?

There is a terrible logic here.

With all that the world faces in the next decades, our world is presently being towering apart by inequality of values, and it is a fundamental fact that what is decided by AI will vibrate for decades to come, feed with data from mobile phones and social media, inroading what is left of democracy and its institutions.

This is driving populism which does not replace anything, but is contributing to climate change dementia which now has it own momentum, verbally fashioned by a range of human conscious which is evolving in the wrong direction.

ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE it is not yet outside the control of human intervention.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abused chucked in the bin.
