Hidden dangers of AI?
So I’ve been following the advancement of AI technology, because I’m a writer, mostly through Jonna Penn and how AI has programs that can let you place your text in the box and it will re-write it for you. I hear other companies have AI robots doing peoples jobs like Amazon. I just watched Megan, a AI robot that basically acts like a human.
She can learn skills, just like a human and take care of your child. Megan even protects Cady against those that try to hurt her, by killing them. In Japan they already built AI robots that look and feel like human to assist professionals. AI Robots in Japan but could they really take it to the next level?
In conversation with The Guardian, MIT Media Lab’s Katie Darling has commented on whether the AI technology on display in M3GAN is possible in the near future. Darling states that the level of sophistication is unlikely to be developed for the “next decade or two.” She emphasizes that expectations about robotics are “completely skewed” due to films revolving around machine intelligence like M3GAN.
But the idea of AI becoming smarter than humans is nothing new. It always been around as far back as the Terminator and beyond. Like Hal, A Space Odyssey. This brings up the issue with Alexa. She can turn on our lights now, turn on the TV. Makes me think of the movie “Smart House” starring Katey Sagel “Pat”. Where family moves into this smart house and “Pat” is taking care of everything and soon her personality changes as she becomes real.
Are all these movies trying to warn us against AI? Or is it just in our minds like Darling at MIT said.?
I for one hope it doesn’t get that far. Our jobs, our lifes would be taken away.
What do you think? Are we in danger from the AI?
