Although
#artificialintelligence has become commonplace - most
#smartphones contain some version of AI, such as speech recognition - the public still has a poor understanding of the
#technology. As a result, a diverse cast of critics, driven by fear of technology, opportunism, or ignorance, has jumped into the intellectual vacuum to warn policymakers that, sooner than we think,
#AI will produce a parade of horrible outcomes. The apocalyptic views that AI will kill jobs vastly overestimate the capabilities of AI to replace humans. It is actually quite hard for technology, AI or otherwise, to eliminate jobs, as evidenced by the fact that U.S. productivity has been growing at a historically slow pace.
The view that
#smartmachines will kill us overstates the pace of technological progress, particularly because the processing power of silicon computer chips is slowing down and progress in AI outside of deep learning is relatively modest. Moreover, machines and the human mind are completely different systems, and even major advances in computing are highly unlikely to produce a machine with humanity’s intellectual capacity, imagination, or adaptability.
