"44% of workers with low education are at risk of automation by mid-2030s!"
But this tech will also contribute $15 Trillion to our global Economy! says PWC
The question we have to ask ourselves is - At what risk?
Some thought leaders said - LET'S UPSKILL!
To set the context – we need to understand that technology evolves incredibly fast, faster than the time it takes to train students to 100% proficiency. Students currently in the education system, when employed, about 70% will not know the technology they are working with. It's a fact!
In addition, historically, the introduction of technology impacts job security.
This means our society and people will suffer displacement of all kinds, financial, health and wellbeing whilst trying to cope with the impact of these new innovations!
Those not directly affected by the displacement may be exploited for their intelligence.
For example, you may be the individual that helps translate your skills (aka your intelligence) so that the technology can learn and replicate faster than a human.
Is this fair? And most importantly, what if we did nothing?
Our concept of the human "Right to intelligence" is about protecting individuals' and our society’s intellectual capabilities such as our skills, knowledge, expertise, and practices.
Every profession, as we know it - from our Teachers, Lawyers to our Taxi drivers all could be impacted by AI.
Some positively and some negatively; for example, A complex surgery or engineering task could be entirely replaced by robotics with precision. Intelligent systems can digitalise our skills, copy and replicate our intelligence to be used widely worldwide!
In today’s world of very little technology regulation, imagine a digital copy of a Teacher created using AI. Wouldn’t it be a potential threat to the teaching profession across the world?
Unless intelligent systems are regulated and designed with the involvement of the public,– in my opinion – LOSS OF OUR INTELLIGENCE COULD BE A GLOBAL THREAT.

Generations are aspiring to be future teachers, lawyers, builders, doctors, & nurses to impact the world positively!
If we did nothing, all the practices and experience we possess and our knowledge gained from educational institutes, our certifications and our skills are open to abuse.
In the world of New Advancements such as AI, Robotics and Augmented Reality/ Extended Reality, how will we ensure we safeguard people’s intelligence?
Each and every one of us are integral and valued in our ecosystem, we don’t want our human intelligence to become extinct!?
The answer is Public Intelligence ensures the ownership of people’s intelligence is protected!
By taking a proactive step to protect people and society. PROTECT PEOPLE’s JOBS!
Right to intelligence is human rights to empower innovation to augment people, NOT TO Replace people! It should maximise people, not minimize human potential!
For example, Driverless Taxis - The car manufacturers do NOT OWN the intelligence of driving -?by definition of AI, it's copying the behaviour of a responsible person who is an experienced driver. So, the intelligence originally belongs to people who drive!
So, in this case, it's the taxi drivers who own the intelligence of driving a taxi – Not the manufacturer or the mobile app such as Uber that books the taxi.
The right to intelligence will ensure that the corporations developing driverless taxies will only be allowed to operate with a taxi driver's ownership and supervision. Thereby retaining the job and the ownership of intelligence and implementing the innovation in a fair and ethical manner. Uber has 4M taxis, and the adoption of driverless technology could lead to social and economic displacement to all the taxi drivers.
Policies honouring the rights to intelligence will ensure companies comply to protect and safeguard the intelligence of professionals "at-risk".
Right to Intelligence will support innovators and regulators with governance and setting up policies to protect your jobs and skills! Thereby bringing fair acknowledgement of the ownership of intelligence.

3 年Interesting view point, but if we go by your argument such as driver's intelligence as a IP which the manufacturer of autonomous cars will copy, and the suggestion that such cars should still be supervised by the drivers, then the purpose of driverless car will defeat itself. In my view, historically, human are the most resilient of its kind, technological revolutions has been a evolutionary process in the history of man kind and each time it came such concerns and insecurities about jobs, disruption, economic impact on peoples lives were raised. However, people have still survived, their agility, their smarts, their ability to find new ways to adopt and their resilience has made them to out-perform the very same technological revolutions that was suppose to be threatening them. I don't have a clear and precise answer to what AI/ML will do to human capital and intelligence, but I am sure that human intelligence will eventually prevail.

3 年Looking at AI as a GPT (General Purpose Technology) like electricity, the combustion engine, etc - it's definitely worth considering and exploring the spaces you are highlighting. Q: What if we do nothing? Here's a perspective of a logical conclusion of that event horizon - it's a purely fiction account, but it's particularly moving. Slaughterbots is a 2017 arms-control advocacy video presenting a dramatized near-future scenario where swarms of inexpensive microdrones use artificial intelligence and facial recognition to assassinate political opponents based on preprogrammed criteria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw
