Who will be in charge of the transformation into an AI world? Is the goal of the AI revolution simply to make the very rich even richer and more powerful, or will this technology be used to benefit all of us?
It will be used to benefit the wealthy and their tech overlords only. Anyone else is S.O.L.
What impact will AI and robotics have on working people? If AI and robotics eliminate millions of jobs, how will people survive if they have no income?
It will remove those pesky humans and replace them with something that does not demand to be treated like a human being and expected to be compensated adequately for their time and efforts. As far as the concern about peoples income should their jobs be removed, they don't care about that one bit.
What will AI mean for our democracy? At a time when authoritarianism is rising, will AI and robotics help make us a freer, more democratic society or will it give even more power to the oligarchs who control the technology?
It will give even more power and control to the oligarchs who own the tech.
Does AI raise an existential threat to the human species? The “Godfather of AI”, Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, recently told me that it was only a matter of time before AI becomes smarter than humans. How do we work together with the international community to prevent this extraordinary threat
?
Yes, it does. As far as preventing this threat, the tech bros are convinced that they can handle it. Just like every other asshat who thought they could control something that they actually had little understanding of, just like these idiots in thinking they have control over something that is learning faster than they can conceive of, as well as having the entire depraved internets as a teacher. Oh yeah, this will work out just fine.
We work together to stop this lunacy until we know... know... we can control it. Until then, it is M-5 time with this crap.
