Artificial intelligence experts and commentators have debated where the future of society lies on a Piers Morgan Uncensored special on AI as the technology continues to develop rapidly.
AI has continued to grow in stock and stature in the 21st century, however things have started to heat up with fierce competition between rival companies working to advance the technology as quickly as possible.
The host argued the world is “on the brink of one of the biggest turning points in human history” with society potentially on the verge of changing “beyond recognition.” The Times columnist Matthew Syed is concerned that some of the pioneers of the technology are already discussing an “existential risk.”
The ability of AI to competently perform several tasks that humans are paid for as a living can potentially threaten the livelihood of millions of people. The level to which AI can influence society is enormous and there have been some promising examples of how it can help - including helping a paralysed man walk again with the use of mind-reading technology that creates a wireless digital link between his spine and brain. “I think this… could be amazing for us.
“I would love somebody to write for me, I have actually licensed my AI image to a Korean company because I want to be able to be places and do things without being there – makes me much more productive, it makes the world productive.”Legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner who celebrated his 90th birthday with an AI-powered version of himself that will “live forever” says his biggest question mark over the technology is whether it can learn morality.
Futurist and Physicist Michio Kaku is positive that artificial intelligence can be a positive for society if it is managed responsibly. “I think we have to let self-regulation play itself to make sure the excesses of this technology don’t get out of hand.”
