We know a lot of tell-tale signs that Artificial Intelligence can actually shake our lives. These are reality based fears that we must be worried, because of the very simple reason that Artificial Intelligence is way better than us, humans.
In the Podcast and Video Why Scientists FEAR The New AI (10 Shocking Reasons), we are given 10 reasons that really rattles our head because these are true and even inevitable.
The first is Unpredictability. How can we trust when we don’t know how it works?
Unpredictability creates loss of control, We are not sure how AI will actually behaves. We do not know for sure how fast they can upgrade and electronically mutate to be better, stronger and the capability exponentially upgraded. Skynet from the Terminator movies can be another name for the AI that we already have. And that it can destroy or at the very least undermine our people. Unpredictable outcomes is a reality for AI, even experts’ will not have a total control.
The second is Job Displacement, according to McKinsey consulting almost half of all jobs can be Automated. A clear example would be the Vulcanizing shop, a revered and respected shop before the ultra-quick tire changing machines and the very fast pahangin. The changing of the tires are done like a Drive Thru, in a few minutes, ergo finished. The post office was bustling with parcels and Cards this time way back 30 years ago, this time Parcel is delivered fast and greetings comes in illustrations or emoji sent in seconds. What happened to the Postman and the Mekaniko?
One time I was watching a World Championship Boxing match on Smart Tv, and I said to my brother may ada pa be Johhnie Walker nga nabilin? (Do we still have Johnnie Walker Whisky in the house?) And behold, an advertorial of the same whisky was shown on screen. We switch-off the Smart Tv, and we laughed. Yet it was a fearful laugh, we are certain with AI and the algorithm, its simply inevitable, we can expect our privacy eroded and lost, soon.
Lastly, for this piece, lets focus on Dependence. So much of our lives depend on Artificial Intelligence, our dependence to Cellular Phones is a classic example. How hard can life be when the Cellular Phone is not around?
In all, the AI is not going to bombard us like what Terminator movie of 1984 envisioned. But James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd the writers knew that it was a certain perceivable reality, a glimpse, thus, its sad that it may be the end for us humans.
