A.I. has been growing extremely quickly and many jobs are beginning to be lost. With self driving cars, A.I. machines that are packing your clothes that you buy online, even getting groceries together. People are at a high risk of mortality when out of work for 20 plus years. Scientists explain that this new technology will also open many new jobs. However, they will be jobs that only young kids will grow up to understand because different skills will be needed for the future. Everyone else will be unable to work these jobs because they won't know how it works, and they won't have the experience and knowledge. In order for them to be able to get into these jobs is if they go back to college, but many of these people don't get time off of their current job to do this. 1/2 of Americans can't even afford it. Because of A.I., it is expected that the rich people who have access to put in money to this, or go back to college to learn these new ways, will become richer and the poor people who don't have access to do these things will become poorer. Many are scared for the future and believe that A.I. is going to ruin everything for us. Harry Cripps, a film writer, is one person out of many who worry about this new world revolving around A.I. He believes A.I. is on the verge of taking over everyone and everything. With all of this rapid growth of artificial intelligence he is scared for how much we will be negatively impacted.
A.I. is a set of tools that objectifies a function. What is that function? Money. Everyday you are trailing data. Although A.I. adapting to you brings great things, companies who get this information of you may not have the same goals as you do such as selling your information etc. At the end of the day you aren't using social media, social media is using you.
Alastair had no idea about this A.I. business until he was talking to a close friend who works for Google. His friend told him " oh you would be horrified if you knew how much we knew about you." Their business is to learn every single thing about each individual and mine everything on your device to your interests. Solo Eric Schmidt who also was a part of googles team said "We know where you are, where you've been and can probably make a great guess of what you're thinking."
The invention and growth of A.I. is both fascinating and terrifying. We have everything we're interested in front of us 24/7, but is it worth being exposed and used?
