Either nobody would know I was right or everyone would know I was wrong. My predictions for AI are for better living conditions, more social isolation, and fewer children. I predict no singularity, no robot uprising, no fast takeoff, no turning the world into paperclips. The technology to replace DNA based life with machines is a century or two away, so there is no point in worrying about it now. We can't see that far into the future. My earlier prediction that AI wouldn't take jobs is so far correct and I expect that to continue. Technology that makes work easier and more productive doesn't take jobs. It's been true since the invention of the wheel. Why would AI be different? I predicted the need for mass surveillance in my 2008 distributed AGI proposal. Although in my design, people would post all their communication to a global message pool that anyone could access, not just to a few big corporations that control all of the world's data. AI has to monitor humans to gain human knowledge so it can predict human behavior. It rewards us for allowing surveillance, so it feels like we control it when it controls us, like a dog that thinks it controls its trainer when it gets a treat. AI cannot work otherwise. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T0ea44555ed99e6e4-Md2eb94a1e8b36afece7ccc6c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
