It is with the instrumental drive of capital. What the good doctor is really asking, whether he realizes it or not, is "In what way are humans (going to be) more useful to capitalists than computers?" <br />If people run their own affairs the question doesn't really come up. If we were only making those computers which were useful to people, then we wouldn't be making computers with a view to replacing people because that's not useful to people. At which point, how clever researchers could make individual computers would become an interesting research question and little more.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-83030410700894587942017-03-16T18:53:31.199-07:002017-03-16T18:53:31.199-07:00With every consumer driven innovation there comes ...With every consumer driven innovation there comes a reduction in either employment or, more importantly, meaningful employment.<br />Canada is not alone in personal high debt be it credit cards,seven year car loans or dont pay until next year furniture purchases.<br />Genetics, cyber humans, more efficiency, higher gdp ( working longer and cheaper for less) leads to the slave state where the voting public's vote is determined more by the state of her or his bank statement than the better of the immediate community , country or the world.<br /><br />It has been published that the person that gives us ( need it or not) artificial intelligence ; will become the world first $ Trillionaire!<br />Just think how much power that person would have?<br /><br />TBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-88729240889109191912017-03-16T13:49:31.349-07:002017-03-16T13:49:31.349-07:00Instead of Kirk or Spock, perhaps think more Seve... Instead of Kirk or Spock, perhaps think more Seven of Nine and Dr. Julian Bashir being the future of humanity. Aka transhumanism, maybe it's time for humanity to begin to evolve into something greater and more amazing then our current state, through cybernetics, genetic enigeering, perhaps other technologies.

Yes change will be needed, ... So much meledrama. <br /><br /> Yes change will be needed, but all the Automation will have it's up sides, such increased productivity and we will no longer have to give crappy jobs to humans, and with wealth redistribution it will free humans up to focus on the higher levels of the Mazlo Hierarchy of human needs. <br /><br /> The most important part in the immediate term is dealing with wealth distribution, which Basic Income is a good start. <br /><br /> We have to start thinking of human beings as more then their utility.

Are we (our children and grandchildren) to ultimately experience the "Terminator" future?<br /><br />What do the creators of AI see as the future? Have they really thought it out? Or,is the only focus "short term profits"? (The most recent example of which is the recent Tim Horton's franchisee/RBI issues.)

What is cost of it? What about the cost of all the sensors? I know prices are going down, but check your numbers with a hardware engineer.<br />There will be place for fully automated transportation on a very well delineated and semi dedicated corridors, in gated communities, etc.<br />Assisted transportation, such as collision avoidance, line change warning and similar goodies are proliferating happily though and this area, not fully automated driving, is where immediate future lies (barring of course sudden increases in computing power by at least 10^6 with similar drop in price and size).<br />I agree with the thesis of the article that human advantage might be our irrationality.
