Its the same with any new technology, im sure the same conversations happened with mobile phones, the internet and with google.

AI is a great tool that can be used but with that does come with challenges but we all can adapt as the world develops like we always do

If you think about the monster that sits behind Social media, created when we weren’t ready for it.. we saw a dramatic rise in anxiety, isolation, self harm, cyber bullying and even suicide.

AI is a bigger transition, possibly an even bigger societal monster sits behind it…one we don’t know of. Society will shift in a new direction for sure.

The problem is AI per se, it’s that digital intelligence is hugely different from emotional intelligence and the speed of learning is exponential in AI.. we need regulation and quickly.

Thats a lot less deaths than by people.

It's somewhat a moral panic to talk of robots killing 29 people when one human does that in a school in america or dunblane or sweden ?

How many deaths in ukraine this year. We've not heard for some time.

Technology is largely inert. It's the application of technology that can be problematic.

So the answer is, it depends on what AI is used for.

That's a controlled testing scenario. What are the possible outcomes of say robots in the military in their 1000s.

I think the point of that story, is that one of the robots essentially hacked their security networks in minutes, from a position of self-interest.

So ...... 4 robots kill 29 people that's seven each and one that got in the way so the possible outcomes of robots in their thousands are ........

1000 robots = 7000 people adjusted to ( 1000/4 = 250 x 29 = 7250 )

2000 = 14 500 and then increasing exponentially.......

To be honest I didn't take the robot thing seriously ....

A notorious man once warned us, unfortunately the path he took lead him to spend the rest of his life in a super max jail,step by step we are slowly becoming dependent on it to the point we can’t just shut it down without consequences

Jeffry Hinton is another man that has put his head over the parapet after 50 years worth of work, week by week more step forward

They warned that splitting the atom could be seen as weapon technology, it was.

Lol with all respect I think that calculation is a touch over-simplistic, given the potential devastation that could be caused by a self-interested AI gaining access to highest level security systems.

I don't take it seriously either, but that's not because I can't see the potential threat.

There's just nothing I can do about it. Like Nuclear war, could happen tomorrow.

AI is dangerous for many reasons, but much like nuclear weapons and energy and fusion energy there are plenty of smart people working on safeguards. The apocalypse scenario is of course possible and we can add it to the list of other world-ending catastrophes that are also possible, from asteroids to aliens to the super volcano beneath Yellowstone park. What is likely, however, is that over the next couple of decades AI and robot tech will displace millions of people from the workforce. Everybody from copywriters to lorry drivers to factory workers to accountants may well find themselves unemployed. This is probably a bigger worry than Skynet and the Terminator killing us all.

Ai learning and biological learning are not comparable. A computer learns something and instantly 100000 other connected computers have acquired that knowledge. The ability and speed for computer networks to learn is nearly infinite.

Yup. This is something that directly affects me. Just last week I was sent some concept art for a project, and it was entirely generated by AI. That’s an actual artist who lost out on work to a computer. Have a little google for Tesla’s Optimus robot. It’s supposed to retail for less than $20,000. That’s about the same as an Amazon employee’s salary, except the cost only needs to be paid once, and no pension, benefits or insurance etc. These changes are coming fast. Within just a few years the world for many of us will look very different.

There is definitely a lack of understanding around AI. AI will itself not learn unless coded to do so and that can be done in isolation, again if instructed.

When you look at the advancements in industries such as health care it can start to negate human error which is a good thing, right?

Technology has replaced people for centuries - go back to the Luddites who were against the new fangled looms to see how it might be bad for some people but society as a whole benefits generally from technology.

Any technology can be used for good and any technology can be used for bad: nuclear weapons kill people and nuclear power could provide a carbon free power source (if only the greens would let it), viral science can create killer germ weapons or it can create medicines that save billions of lives. AI will be the same. We have global rules around technology and I think AI will fall into the same camp.

Its an interesting notion... Googling googles own organisation...if im gone tomorrow youll know why..

Washington post

Blake Lemoine, the Google engineer who told The Washington Post that the company’s artificial intelligence was sentient, said the company fired him on Friday

Forbes says..

Google has fired the leader of its ethical artificial intelligence team, Margaret Mitchell, a move that comes after the acrimonious exit of researcher Timnit Gebru unleashed a firestorm of criticism on the company over the last few months

Cnn says

Geoffrey Hinton, who has been called the 'Godfather of AI,' confirmed Monday that he left his role at Google last week to speak out about the “dangers” of the technology he helped to develop.

So yeah...

I see it as a form of external evolution.

We are making machines and learning-systems far more intelligent than ourselves, able to make millions of lightning fast decisions where we are still struggling to get out of bed.

Ideally, these systems are to support and underpin human-based systems.

However it will reach a point where said systems make more effective decisions than humans.

At that point, we reach a critical juncture and have to make a decision.

Do we turn over all decision-making to AI, only certain parts, or none of it.

To be devil's advocate...if an AI machine can make better decisions than me, then I am the problem and obsolete bio tech, aren't I ?

How many deaths in ukraine this year. We've not heard for some time.

That's a controlled testing scenario. What are the possible outcomes of say robots in the military in their 1000s.

I think the point of that story, is that one of the robots essentially hacked their security networks in minutes, from a position of self-interest."

It's fake news https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-ai-robots-idUSL1N348243

Sounds like the plot to the Will Smith film "I, Robot" has been rejigg(i)ed and told as fact.....

"I would say that 30% of my student's work is written by ChatGPT. I don't mind as 100% of my marking is also done with ChatGPT."

Only 30%?! I think nearer 90%

That, or ours have subbed it out to some REALLY useless essay mills

ChatGPT isn't good at lab reports...

Honestly, every time I type something I think 'bloody auto correct' as my message reads wrong... again.

Why doesn't my computer just read my mind put in what I want correctly and also check spelling and grammar?

I welcome the day Skynet takes over.

My bank manager ordered me two check books on Monday via two different printers/couriers I watched him do it on screen as I needed it today so it was just in case they was an issue printing one.

Both just arrived via the same printer! Some AI optimised his work not realising why he did it …. Not very intelligent , humans know best!

"If you think about the monster that sits behind Social media, created when we weren’t ready for it.. we saw a dramatic rise in anxiety, isolation, self harm, cyber bullying and even suicide.

AI is a bigger transition, possibly an even bigger societal monster sits behind it…one we don’t know of. Society will shift in a new direction for sure.

The problem is AI per se, it’s that digital intelligence is hugely different from emotional intelligence and the speed of learning is exponential in AI.. we need regulation and quickly. "

I’m with you in this although I believe we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of the harm social media is causing; it’s still early days. AI though is going to cause even more harm.. not potentially, it will. Terrifying because ultimately corporate greed will drive AI development

Can you explain how AI was involved? Was this not just the system that was in place?

The people who will seek to develop it for nefarious means are more of a threat. Like anything else, in the wrong hands it can be used to cause hell, in the right hands it can help.

Surely AI itself is just a prediction tool outputting the most probable answer or solution. This technology is being used to good effect globally, combining past known answers and the ability to process current information quicker to give an answer. This answer might be the same humans come to but AI can do it far quicker.

Does AI worry me, not one jot, I suspect it would eventually go around in circles until it self destructs as AI trys to use AI itself.
