(We Are Opening the Lids on Two Giant Pandora's Boxes")
In A.I. we trust.
For, in fact, it can be as a god, capable of meting out both the terrific and the terrifying, of saving our planet or decimating it, of leading us to temptation or rather to tempering a gravitational pull towards our basest instincts. A constant tug of war between our thirst for immortality and an embrace of our morality..
The echoes of 1945 can be heard in the fears now expressed. "The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I would have become a watchmaker '(Albert Einstein)
And in the concern of Geoffrey Hinton, we recall the lament of J. Robert Oppenheimer, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
A.I. is a genie out of the bottle. We cannot undo what has been done. The only question is whether in the tomorrows we encounter, we become its master, or its slave.
Two provocative columns , of course yours is superior. I understand AI perfectly, except I have my hands covering my ears and my eyes closed on all these things.
