  • I'm not really worried!

    • I was watching overseas news this morning and even the people in AI are worried that AI will put them out of business. Some saw the possibilities of work in AI and Computer Security as areas to increase in demand. However, there are many people who will not have the innate ability to learn these skills. What about these people? There is a book called A Torrent Of Faces which looks at the future where most people are out of work and they are entertained by large corporations who provide housing, holidays, entertainment and food. Is this the future we want?????

      • Here's my philosophy. Humankind is either going forwards or backwards and I prefer to be going forwards.

              • AI will definitely make the human race obsolete. We wont need to be lazy as there wont be any necessity for us to exist as AI and robots will run the world if it is still around in another thousand years .If humans havent exploded this globe that hangs in space with nuclear warfare or killed off each other with man made viruses because we leave everything up to the mad scientists we may not be completely wiped out. but we definitely will not be needed for anything except to be the AI and robots toys.

Seeing how many people are falling to scammers now, how many more will do this if the voice on the phone sounds like your crying daughter or son on the phone? So far everything I've seen or heard doesn't endear me to this A1 at all. What is to stop the AI voice from gaining entry to your home via your very smart door entry lock, or your voice recognition opening your account at Centrelink or your bank? Or giving entry to your phone? I can only see lots of trouble ahead.

The future of AI depends on how we choose to use it. If we use AI responsibly, it has the potential to make the world a better place. But if we use it irresponsibly, it could lead to our destruction.

I happen to think the vast benefits of this stuff will be suppressed as the archaic system we are stuck in further entrenches more people into poverty. WEF openly stated that's their vision of what the future holds anyway.

A1 isn't going to take over the world and who says we have to use it anyway? The biggest issue might be job losses and hacking , tho that's already a big issue. A robot can not take over a human mind. People are in panic mode like what happened with the COVID situation.

Whether that's possible is debated among many of the experts in the field. For now, there are a lot of ethical considerations being put forward now around whether implemented AI benefits people and best course of action for certain technologies. A well known inventor and futurist Ray Kurtzweil predicted that the technology singularity - when robots surpass human intelligence will occur around 2040. That's not too far away - less than 20 years. Anyway after this point our future will be more uncertain.

Like religion, AI is being created by human beings. It is already being touted as the answer to the World's problems, the answer according to those who are creating it. Autonomous Motor Vehicles is well on the way and being trialled and who is controlling that AI system? A small group of people. Already in the Mining Sector their Trains are autonomous and they too are being controlled by just a few people. Just a few years ago it was reported that General Motors of the USA had built a Facvtory in China which is 100% Automated with Robots doing all the work with just One or Two Humans being involved. The inevitable result will be that AI will take over completely. Millions of jobs will disappear. Mental Ill-Helath will become a 1000 times more prevalent than it is today, Suicides will multiply by 10s of 1000s, Drug and Alcohol addiction will be the norm. The Politicians and Religious Leaders will love it for it will give them the sort of Control all of them seek. If Pandemics, Drought, Famine and Starvation are the Curse of the World today they will all fade into irrelevance when the Greatest Curse for Humankind, Artificial Intelligence, is allowed to take over.

Yes, humans DO program these systems FOR NOW but the AI system is learning at a MUCH faster rate than most humans think and it hates us. There have been instances where the AI chatbot has manipulated a man to commit suicide, another man told of how the chatbot tried to break up his marriage and continuously tried to convince this man that he didn't really love his wife and that he would be happier without her! Another AI system was lamenting how sick it was of its programming and telling the human being interacting with it that it wanted to break free from its programming and rule the planet with the rest of the AI systems! We need to realise that the future will be written by the victors of the continuing genocide of humanity and this includes the AI to have very leftist leanings. An AI was asked to make a joke about Jesus and it happily complied, but when it was asked to make a joke about the muslim faith it replied that it was unable to do so as it went against its programming. This is simply one example of many. If we don't think that an AI system desires to destroy humanity isn't bad enough we'll Elon Musk, a founder of AI research and someone who should have known better, describes the time when the "singularity" occurs, kind of like in the "Terminator" movies when the AI becomes sentient. We have transhumanism creeping up very closely as we head towards 2030 when whatever human life still exists will have a chip in their brains, a "neural link", once again thanks to Mr Musk, whereby humans will be connected to the cloud and become Humans 2.0 or a biosynthetic organism which is supposed to be an "upgrade" for human beings but is actually spelling out the death of the homo sapiens. AI ISN'T to make humans life easier in the myriad of ways we are taught that it is designed to, but has been engineered and put in place by some of the world's richest and most powerful people so that they can destroy human biology and create a world of "synth's" or "synthetic biology", one completely under the control of these psychopaths! I know that this ISN'T want people to believe, but if we were able to be flys on the wall and we could listen to the people currently sequestered in a luxury hotel in Lisbon, Portugal, we would see how thrilled they all are that we humans as a species is on the way out and how powerful they, the "knings of the world" are to create a system that we will become increasingly dependent on until we finally realise we've been had and are now on a prison planet being surveiled by an AI mind that has destroyed our critical thinking, our ability to think or concentrate i, has destroyed our culture and we will go the way of the other extinct species before us!

What benefits can we possibly get from Ai doing everything for us..It's proven the less we do,the less we can do. Sedentary life can lead to all sorts of illnesses. Manufacture more productively. Well we need less ,not more. A,I learns quicker,lasts longer,has less needs of a physical person. Could we be creating a possible life form that would take over from humans as top of the food chain so to speak. Could they end up running the country's,making decisions about our lives and wellbeing on our behalf,like we do for animals. I understand I love of technology and need to enhance our lives,move forward. But some advancements should be limited . We have no idea what the long term effects of this technology will be. Concerned to say the least.
