hornbyben Personally, I think the chance of a skynet situation is so unlikely that it’s not really worth being concerned about. To me the biggest risk is bias and lack of transparency.

if it’s a truly sentient AI, the only logical decision would be to plan for our removal!

    hornbyben Thanks! I somehow missed that article. Guess it shows that I never click on the ‘Tech’ subsection.

    I completely agree. It’s probably even more important to recognise and mitigate the widespread and insidious ways AI amplifies biases and discriminates quietly against some groups more than others. The scariest thing about it is that the average well-meaning person would think they’re being ever more fair and eliminating bias by relying on the ‘impartial’ judgement of a non-human algorithm. The various US congressional hearings on technology issues illustrate just how ignorant people in power can be.

    hornbyben humanity will always chase advancement, so questioning how to do it safely is in my opinion far more valuable than just saying we shouldn’t

    Humans will always chase profit too, or even just the prospect of it

          hthec illustrate just how ignorant

          Definitely. I think people think AI is actually intelligent. I much prefer the term machine learning, as I think that’s much more representative of what they actually do.

              This is the essence of the craze behind the AI! Sure, it has a place. We have already gone one step too far.

                hornbyben prefer the term machine learning

                Absolutely. We can debate and discuss as long as we want. That’s why I said at the very beginning of this discussion that this iterative self-learning AI is created by humans. It will always be - at least for now. 😊

                  No clue this was being discussed as I have no use or respect for anything AI or the idiots trying to push it on society. They should remember anything created by mankind can easily be destroyed just the same.
