There is a euphoria about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) disrupting various industries and taking over jobs of humans in a differing sphere of life. It has been reported that investors are chasing such start-ups.
Techopedia explains: "Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has become an essential part of the technology industry. Research associated with artificial intelligence is highly technical and specialized. The core problems of artificial intelligence include programming computers for certain traits such as: Knowledge, Reasoning, Problem-solving, Perception, Learning, Planning, Ability to manipulate and move objects."
According to Wikipedia: "In the twenty-first century, AI techniques have experienced a resurgence following concurrent advances in computer power, large amounts of data, and theoretical understanding; and AI techniques have become an essential part of the technology industry, helping to solve many challenging problems in computer science".
As usual, early starters may have advantages and those having core competencies in AI tools and techniques are expected to be in high demand. Many are into AI just because their competitors are there or they do not want to be left out in the event AI gets adopted into the mainstream.
AI has started pervading our lives and main fears are about job losses and technology falling into the hands of evils in humans. Currently, there are no ethical standards and probably there could be few in the near future.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) or any other equivalent technology, after all, is the tool in hands of the humans and humans will continue to decide what to do next depending on the situation.
Whatever perfected & simplified by humans may be automated. As is well known, human curacy usually grows to rediscover something unimaginable and AI & other technological tools may help in imagining unimaginable & thinking unthinkable.
What is your view?
Tech <ethical> provocateur
7 年I'm not sure I can agree that "humans will make the choices". IEEE is currently developing standards for AI Ethics (httpL://is.gd/AIethics ), and the Future of Life Institute (see Principles and AI Open Letter on their site) has expressed and started to address some of these concerns as well. I've been posting Blog entries on https://TechnologyAndSociety.org, tracking some of the issues and activities here. A key distinction is between focused AI systems (win at "GO", diagnose cancer, use psychographics to affect election results) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) which matches/exceeds human facilities in a broad range of areas. AI's in this last area might not be so inclined to accept human direction, anymore than our (other?) kids do.
