AI, A path to better humans?
2 years ago
General
Greetings reader
I was reflecting on reality and how fast it is changing. For instance in 1760 the industrial revolution began and made consumer goods less expensive and widely available; in 1994 the Internet as we know it began and changed the way the planet communicates; in 2007 the first smart phone was released, and now everyone can have a device with wide ranging power in their pockets; and now Artificial Intelligence is set to change how we conduct our lives in a way that is bigger than anything before. And with each major advancement, humans changed and became less violent, more compassionate. After all we no longer burn witches at the stake.
Of all the AI articles, and AI experts I have listened to; the one big idea that surfaces over and over is this: AI has all the knowledge, (i.e. facts) but none of the wisdom. But humans can work collaboratively with AI to gain access to all the knowledge and combine it with human wisdom to more quickly arrive at amazing solutions and ideas. They emphasis how this will be the tool everyone will use to make better decisions.
But many have raised the alarm that AI could do terrible things. A leading edge company in AI development, Entropic, is using a constitution (i.e. set of moral rules) to direct AI to do no-harm when it interacts with humans. In a way this is similar to how post childhood adults learn rules of society or morals or guard rails.
The discussion of how these tools are trained, seems to parallel how human children learn. Imagine if we extend this further. What if humans, individually, could brain storm with an AI to consciously create the type of person they developed into after childhood? What if humans could ask AI to brain storm how to live better when confronted by an issue? What if humans where able to use AI as trusted feedback when making decision on who to become? Oh, my mistake! The future is here now. We can do that now!!
I found this podcast a great summary of AI issues and advice how to effectively use AI. As a demonstration, during the podcast they did the brain storming exploration for a stationary store business. I found this a most thoughtful podcast episode to listen too, you may find this podcast episode interesting too
