What are 10 problems for society that will be caused by AI in the next 5 years?
AI is super-hyped at the moment and it is not going away. There are great things coming but also problems. What might some of these be?
1. AI will be able to predict who is going to commit a crime and when they are going to do it
2. People will be fired for reasons they don't understand
3. AI will be able to write books, articles, essays, movies, music that humans may not be able to distinguish from the real thing
4. What happens when an AI can see better than humans can
5. Can an AI mimic human behavior so well that it is impossible for another human to tell the difference between a real person and an AI mimicking that person
6. The first trillionaires will all be people who own the AIs that provide services we all use every day
Do we even want to handle this
What about other industries like healthcare where people make money off of owning medical equipment (like MRI machines) but the AIs are soon going to replace many doctors
Who makes money then
Who loses money then
What about lawyers
Even now, many legal cases are won by using algorithms instead of lawyers (e
g
, divorce cases)
Who makes money then
Who loses money then?
7. Will there be riots or wars over who owns what AIs or what data sets they have access too or how good their AIs are at doing things humans used to do
Will other countries try and take down China's power by taking down their power grid (which would shut down their facial recognition system) as part of a war strategy
8. With enough data and good enough algorithms, can you trick an AI into thinking anything you want it to think
The movie "The Matrix" explored this idea
