What do you know about artificial intelligence

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence in computers, to my mind, is outsourcing human capabilities thereby creating job losses.

Artificial intelligence technology will actually take over about 70% of the world's jobs. That means a lot of people will be without a job and this could pose many issues for many people. I read an article that artificial intelligence technology could actually lower the Earth's population because people would not want kids since there would be nothing for them. Jobs will be scarce, food would be limited, homes would be scarce, etc. So why would you want a child growing up in that world? A world where a child would just basically be worth nothing, and would be a burden on society.

I am on the fence about artificial intelligence because there is many benefits but not a lot of them seem good to the working class people. Could you imagine if they started outsourcing jobs to robots and said 80% of all customer support jobs will be replaced by robots, 90% of constructions jobs will be replaced by robots, 95% transportation jobs will be replaced by robots, and the list goes on. That would be quite scary. Where would the jobs be at?

I do not believe it will happen in our life times (hopefully) but artificial intelligence technology poses many risks for human beings. Not only does artificial intelligence create their own languages, but as mentioned already the artificial intelligence robot named Sophia apparently wants to destroy all humans. I believe that artificial intelligence androids would actually want that. They would want to kill off their creators. It happens in science fiction a lot and sometimes science fiction becomes science reality.

Yes especially if human emotions will be programmed to AI. Human intelligence has been successfully programmed to AI so there is a possibility that emotions can be programmed also. And if that happens I think AI will have the total awareness of what humans are doing and would aim to dominate humans. This seems to be impossible for now but in the future, this might happen. All the technologies today seems so impossible in the past, but now we are the living witnesses of what human mind can do. Hopefully, we don't witness anymore when AIs dominates humans.

It's seriously detrimental to mankind no matter what advantages artificial intelligence seem to offer now, once it on the take over mode, it's seriously going to destroy the world starting from mankind. I hope any of you have watched terminator, it's practically what artificial intelligence is capable of.

AI could be a big advantage to humans as long as the developer of those programs would not reach to the point that the AI they are making becomes a self-aware program. The level of the sophistication of AI programs must be controlled and must have a limit to prevent them from dominating humans.

@Everett This analysis is very scary I must admit to that. Considering the fact that robots can do virtually everything man can do and even more effectively and efficiently than man. So therefore, it's not going to be so hard having human labor replaced with artificial intelligence labor and it's going to be a shame to man, having to be replaced by bunch of computer software and hardwares.

The fact that Sophia has already said that she wants to "reproduce more of her kind" is a very scare thing to me. This kind of rote instinctual cognition is almost animal, but it reflects the pattern of all forms of life who want to survive through progeny and offspring. In other words, "she" feels that there should be more of "her" around. These "beings" have the potential to take our jobs and also the potential to change democracy and human rights as we know them!

I'm on the fence as to whether or not this "doomsday" scenario is really a possibility. Yes, I certainly don't disagree that artificial intelligence has the potential to replace a huge portion of our workforce. However, I also believe that the world's governments would find ways to circumvent it turning into a disaster. A lot of intelligent people in different fields of science, philosophy, and politics agree that in the event that such a huge portion of the population would be out of work, a universal income would most likely become a reality. I'm absolutely not opposed to a universal income, as I already believe that what we regard as "work" and the monetary system in general are a form of enslavement as it is, but that is a topic for another time.

If there are no takers in that if people shun this technology and go about their life without the use of gadgets that are derived from AI I wonder if that concept will take root. But what I notice about the younger generation is that they will jump for anything that is new and go for it without thinking. Take for example these cell phones that have 4 cameras. I am sure there must be many youngsters who may have grabbed those cameras but not knowing what to with them.

You're definitely not wrong in the notion that a lot of people will blindly jump onto the next technological bandwagon, simply to be up to date with the latest trends. It's not just the younger generations either. There is an entire tech culture that has popped up in recent years, and it features people of all ages. These people constantly want to push technology to the limit and be a part of the scene without ever really considering the possibility of certain consequences.

That's statistics are really shocking... I hope that people specially on the manufacturing side have a some-sort of a containment action for this. Although i think that no AI can replace a human mind in terms of visual analysis and control, AI can dominate human by accuracy and speed.

I know how programming works, every argument or command in a program always have a fail safe module. It is the essence of AI, a technology can recognize and know mistakes in an action. But it only runs on codes and arguments. Humans do this by experience and skills...

I know that it is a possibility that humans can be overrun by AI , i just hope that manufactures know all the implications of their actions.

That 70% you had estimated for the jobs that will be take over by artificial intelligence is a good number. Most of the AIs are robots and not exactly the robots that we see in the movies who look like humans. The robots are just arms or maybe a moving conveyor belt with special functions. In the Toyota workshop, the painting of the cars are done by robots because humans cannot come near the baking oven where the cars go to solidify the new paint on the body.

I have been following this technology for decades, and, most recently, I have been following what Google has been doing with it. To me, some of these developments ARE pretty alarming. Recently, Google had to shut down two of its A.I. units because they developed an encrypted language which only "they" could understand. Also, an A.I. unit has already gained citizenship in Saudi Arabia--her name is Sophia, and she has been supposedly known to talk about the destruction of mankind. There are tons of online "robots" who are taking jobs, potentially, from people, and I think that this trend will most likely continue.

The development of more highly intelligent AI like Sophia could be a threat to employment in the future. AI robots can work 24/7 without getting sick, bored, stressed, exhausted, and does not complain. If AI Robots can be afforded by many, probably more employers would be willing to acquire in replacement of human labor.

In one conversation with the computer programmers in our office, AI or artificial intelligence was brought up. We had admitted that no AI can match a man’s brain for now but it can be said that an AI can operate like a human. One example is the driverless car which is in the testing stage already. Although the Google Car has still many issues to resolve, it can already function as a driver-assisted car which means it can drive by itself and a human just needs to do the monitoring for safety precautions. That’s one big step for man towards artificial intelligence.

I agree, no one can replace a human mind in terms of intelligence. I'm a programmer and i know how a basic AI code works. AI is actually a code that works with lots of arguments and statements. Its actually a step by step verification of events. With the events made there's always a fail safe, a command that tells the robot what to do when it encountered an event that is not on the program.

Basically the robot doesn't know what to do, where it is or what it's doing...humans just imprint them on the system so that it looks like the robot is aware of it's surroundings.

Currently the AI is not that strong but we have to be concerned about it in future. You can see that it would be harder to get jobs back once they start automating with the AI. So it's always better to work around with the AI and that should be good enough in that case to say it can be dangerous as well.

I think that we are just getting started with the A.I. issues and complications and that this will be one of the biggest issues of our time. One of the most fundamental questions regarding this is whether or not these forms of consciousness should have the same rights as humans or not. Also, as they develop and advance further and further, how will we be able to regulate their behavior, and how will they behave around us--positively or negatively?

Not sure what particular programming language is used to program for AI like Sophia but it some kind of symbolic programming language. And for big industries like the developer of Sofia, they might have developed their own language for AI. AI's logic is from the human intelligence that has been programmed to be understood by a machine. A robot is programmable which means it will execute whatever the humans what it wants to do.

I think cosmic doomsday is less likely. The AI bots are likely to have more damage than cosmic. There is a concept known as "great filter".

Based on the estimates it would take 13000000 years for sun to explode or even go supernova. Those are lot of years to be honest. And most likely people are either extinct on earth or move to another planet. And that's how I see the AI part moving ahead instead of universe exploration.

Yes there is not much AI about chatbots. It's just keyword and the replies game. So if they spot the keyword they reply with the specific answer.

I first watched about the use of artifical intelligence in a movie called "Person of Interest". Ever since that day, I became aware of what technology is capable of. Down to the phones we all use, the government have a software technology which they can use and hack it and hear and see everything they desire. I believe the CIA are even secretly using artificial intelligence to spy on the world.

Spying us on the devices that we are using every day is just fine as long as the reason for doing that is for our security and prevents us from getting harmed by bad guys. And I think government agencies like are CIA actually doing this thing. I have read an article before that, there are always watching on us every time we are connected to the internet.

Seriously, I don't agree with this act, it's called violation of privacy without one's consent it's totally wrong.

Yeah but the hackers are already doing it without our consent. We are not really secured when we are connected to the internet. And I think it's better to let government agency like CIA to our activities on the internet especially if something suspicious happening in our account or the device that we are using online.

You must have heard of Starbucks who are quite settled with using AI. It is reported that even before a customer decides what they want to take their robot knows about it already.

How does this even work? It's like a forbidden practice of some kind. Hahaha!

I guess the government is slowly revealing their secret technology. I'm sure they know a bunch of stuff that would blow our minds. They just don't want us finding out too soon.

It's a scary thought. But I guess we don't have to worry about anything. Particularly, if we're not doing anything wrong. Still, it's nerve-racking to think they're doing stuff like this.

As with many inventions, AI is both interesting and scary. There will definitely be job losses as AI becomes able to replace humans for certain tasks. For the moment it's not much of a concern, but eventually, as human labor becomes less and less valuable, I think there will be increases in war and famine.

This is absolutely true, that it's not giving much concern now doesn't mean it would keep on being this way. With the rate technology is advancing lately, it's not going to be that long before millions of people start losing their jobs and it's not going to something funny, there would definitely be hunger and famine.

I definitely agree with you. The increasing rate of robots will result to humans losing their jobs but at the same time, other jobs will be created especially in the US. Jobs like watching if the robot is doing okay, worn out, need replacement etc. In other terms, humans will start working for robots.

That is some consolation I say (lol). How many does on need to watch a robot? Apart ofrom losing jobs the scary part is a day will come when our thoughts can also be read. I think Star Bucks robots know what you want to order even before you place your order (lol)

Well, it keeps getting worse. One day there will be cyborgs that will want to wipe out pure humans because they can. It's very likely that inventions will eventually turn on their creator.

Now that's even more terrifying. It's like the first state of enslavement. We're the ones doing it to ourselves. Rather, it's the ones higher up like government officials making us do stuff like that. Skynet is looking more possible as time goes by.

That's really unsettling. It could be the dystopian future shown in movies. A life where no one's thoughts are private and AI is very powerful. That would be a terrifying life for humanity.

Artificial Intelligence will likely pursue by the first countries around the globe for sure. They have the power to do this kind of stuff. Kinda scary because I cant imagine what life would be if this would become reality.

Me too. I'm scared for us normal people. I can already see the rich benefiting a lot from this. It reminds me of Terminator movies where the humans become almost extinct. We shouldn't let that happen.

That's a scary thought. But realistic nonetheless. I know how devastating losing job can be. Most people count on their careers as giving a majority of their life's purpose. If it ever happens, then we'll be one step closer to losing the value of our existence.

I wouldn't want that to happen. We can only hope that we're smart enough to stay away from such inventions. Some people predict that humans will make their own undoing. One of the possible causes is advanced AI.

That's the thing. We might not even get so far if the AI decides to turn on its creators. They can control technology and launch nuclear missiles that will wipe us from existence. We'll be helpless to stop them since they're made of technology.
