Who Owns the Future
Due to Artificial Intelligence (AI) having the ability to learn information at an exponential rate, it is very easy to believe that AI owns the future. There are two broad types of AI, soft and hard AI. Soft AI is not intended to mimic the human brain, soft AI could be used to make a difficult boss in a video game. Hard AI on the other hand is intended to mimic the human brain, and many experts in the field are scared of what will come from the evolution of hard AI (Baer).
One of the factors that comes into consideration with the use of AI comes into reality is the risk of unemployment in the modern workforce. This is because they possess the ability to absorb information much quicker than humans. Others believe it will …show more content…
This is an example of what could someday be an AI of some form assisting a customer in the same sort of context. A few other of the first hand examples would most likely be filled in a data entry type of field such as an accountant, insurance underwriter, or even a fast food employee. Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, most of the technology we use was invented less that 100 years ago, the internet was invented roughly 30 years ago. Computers used to take up multiple rooms in size and they had a fraction of the capabilities and memory that our current cellphones have. Facts like these really make you question how much further we can take technology, it seems as promising at it is scary. Computers and AI taking over the world has changed from a good Sci-Fi movie to a realistic possibility …show more content…
The idea that we are currently in a computer simulation, this may seem crazy at first but with an open mind a little explanation it seems much more likely. The idea starts like this, we have the capabilities to create virtual scenarios that are more complex than our actual lives, those complex scenarios being so complex that they could in turn create their own computer simulations. This process repeats itself until you have an infinite amount of virtual realities. This same idea can easily be applied to exponential growth of superintelligence. We could create AI that has capabilities that surpass the most intelligent humans, and this AI could create an even smarter version of itself, this process can theoretically repeat itself a countless amount of times. The outcome is a computer smarter than the average human can even wrap their minds around (Urban). In conclusion we should not slow down the growth of technology, but instead master it before we create something we cannot stop. Attempting to control technology seems impossible and freedom limiting, but we should understand the consequences that the wrong AI could lead to. Ideas seem split on whether the innovation of technology will send the world to new heights, or make it come to a screeching halt, whatever the case the future is as promising as it is
