AI - Your pal? Could it happen? Really? do you think you'd be willing and able to invite an artifical intelligence into your circle of friends?
I know it sounds like a stretch. Now. But consider the advancements in AI, and in particular, machine learning in just the past five years.
The truth of the matter is, in any area of technology, what previously was fantasy, rapidly morphs into fact.
And nowhere is that reality more apparent than in the rapid advancement of Artifical Intelligence.
AI's don't need food or water or sleep sleep. They never get tired. They have a constant level of boundless energy 24/7/365. They can perform tasks we would find repetitive and boring without complaining.
They don't need coffee breaks.They never strike for better pay because they have no interest in money. Ditto success,sex,achievement, prestige, approval and admiration. They have no ego. And thus - no beliefs.
The only two things Artificial Intelligences don't have are a heart. And a soul.
In this chillingly prophetic book, Futurist Orion Zander explains how, and to what degree our lives will, and are changing, with the escalation of Artifical Intelligence.
