Will AI Robots Turn Humans Into Pets?
Technology industry leaders came to the U.N. to discuss the future of artificial intelligence which may revolutionize everything—or not.
In a room at the United Nations overlooking New York’s East River, at a table as long as a tennis court, around 70 of the best minds in artificial intelligence recently ate a sea bass dinner and could not, for the life of them, agree on the coming impact of AI and robots.
This is perhaps the most vexing challenge of AI. There’s a great deal of agreement around the notion that humans are creating a genie unlike any that’s poofed out of a bottle so far—yet no consensus on what that genie will ultimately do for us. Or to us.
Will AI robots gobble all our jobs and, Neuralink, which will explore adding AI-programmed chips to human brains so people don’t become little more than pesky annoyances to new generations of thinking machines.
