We're learning that technology has hit a new threshold and soon artificial intelligence will overtake us humans. It will be breathtaking and a complete game changer.
I just spent many days rescuing my computer from satanic invaders so I kinda get the fear factor.
We're learning that AI will change the way we solve problems. We're hearing that it could, on one hand, cause global extinction but, on the other hand, AI will find ways to cure cancer and bring about unprecedented positive change in all areas of our lives.
In the '80s the "Information Age" emerged. I tried to get myself up to speed because I was invited into several companies as a consultant to encourage workers to embrace this new technology. For instance, when computers were brought into the workplace and typewriters disapearred, many workers quit. For a while, they found other work but then, eventually, the only person left using typewriters was Tom Hanks.
Back then, I thought I was a little ahead of the curve but, in reality, I had no idea how much our lives would eventually change - for the better! I'm pretty much homebound but, at all times I have my cell phone, smart watch, supersonic hearing aid, and computer. And I have a big television with many platform layers.
All of this fantastic technology is neither good nor bad. People are both. I'm counting on the worldwide network of AI experts who are working hard to develop international codes of conduct so that that we'll all be held accountable for using this new found knowledge for good.
What if we had no more floods, hurricanes, forest fires, or chronic pain?
