AI - Are you ready for it? Ready For co-operating with the new race of Humans? Ready to work along side, or perhaps even, for them?
Well, frankly it matters not if -you are ready. because AI is here. And advancing in the collecdtion of it's intelligence every day
The reason is "Machine Learning." This refers to the AI's ability to actually learn. And not only tasks. But the ability to absorb the entire range of Human history.Science. Art.Literature.
And therein lies the danger. As AI advances to the point of possessing Human emotions, it possess the ability to institute actions with enormous negative consequences.
Because to be Human, means also, at times, to be aggressive,dishonest,angry,vengeful,egotistic and dictatorial.
Imagine an Artifical Intelligence in charge of a nuclear weapons deployment who decides, without any Human input, to launch a pre-emptive strike.
Bottom Line: Ai is not necessarily a "friendly Giant." But it is one that will be directing and shaping our future.
In this illuminating book, futurist Orion Zander explains how to navigate it.
