People are worried about AI taking over the world.
After watching my smart robot vacuum get lost. Or better yet, my cats sabotage with strings. I don’t think we have to worry about that, this year.
However, the technology is getting better and better.
To me the immediate danger in AI is the question of – who is controlling the data?
All the data Google is collecting, Facebook, etc.. Etc..
Controlling the data, the data that could be used for targeted manipulation. Thus controlling how we perceive. How we view ourselves in this world.
Very targeted manipulation that is geared toward our desires.
Combine that, with this notion, not to question anything. The computer (science) is right. Brings the larger danger of having people not thinking for themselves.
That take the results as fact… because the results are computed in such a way that they highly resonate with you.
We can already see this taking shape.
AI, might be an easy button, but for whom.. And at what cost to us?
And just to be clear, I am not anti-tech.. But we need to re-think how we are using technology and who it is serving. Don’t blindly follow a given answer.
