What do you think about AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Hello, is me Clement. Today, I will be talking about AI, because it is every where on the internet. Go to YouTube and search for AI, you will see more than a dozen videos on AI, how Google is buying many AI and robotics companies, how AI will take out jobs from us in the future and many more. Many people will see this and say it's a lie, but I have been a programming long enough to know that almost anything is possible with code in the computer world. And think about a bug company like Google buying many AI companies, I think is enough to tell anyone that they see AI as the future and they are now investing in it. Who knows maybe AI will be the next hour just like how computers mate bill gates the tickets man alive.
But currently out you look around, you will see few AIs around is example in our phones. Apple phones have there own AI, I think it is called Siri, even windows now have there own called Cortana. I am not sure if Android have its own, but this will tell you that AI is already starting to assist us.
Let's talk about AI taking over our jobs.
Search for I taking our jobs in YouTube and you will see a lot of video suggesting this. Many will say say, laugh out loud that's impossible. But honestly this is, maybe free jobs that requires creativity like drawing may still remain. Now look at a traffic light. This light on its own gives each junction in the road a certain amount of time to move and stop. In a junction where 4 roads meet like a cross section, you will find out that up to for traffic lights work together. Check it out, this traffic light can be an example of the very low level AI, and the perform so much better than a human, if you ask me. Because a human cannot assign the same amount of time to each parts of the roads effectively without a watch. In this part you see that AI Excel more than humans. Take chat bots for example, this robots are so good at chatting that you will find it hard to believe that you are chatting with a robot.
This proves my first point that almost anything is possible in coding. Now if a traffic light that is not even near intelligent can be that active, talk about when a real AI is developed. Or AIs that learns. But taking about AI that learns, this means that that AI will need to be storing gigabytes of data, that means it will have to carrying a huge hard disc around unless it is storing its data on line. Won't this price to be a problem in countries that have no internet.
Is AI smarter than humans?
Because I said that AI does certain jobs better than man doesn't mean that they are smarter than the human brain. Look, the human is more powerful than any computer, good example every single thing you have learnt right from when you started thinking are in your brain if you can still remember them, I think this should give an instant of how awesome the brain is. Second the brain is creative. I think everybody is creative in there own way, but are AIs creative. I don't think so.
Lastly, let's talk about if AI will destroy we humans
If you have watched Terminator, then you understand what I am saying. When Google and others finally create a sentient AI, one that thinks, learns and behave like a human. Will it decide to eliminate is just like skynet tried doing. Hmmmmm, I don't know. Because with the level of AI that is on display in YouTube, you will see them saying AI leaving to crawl, walk and other things. You know that we humans all learnt how to walk before it became part of us. They are already starting to behave like us. Well as far the AI develops are smart enough to put a kill switch in those AIs maybe a Boolean variable, that can shoot down the AI at their own will then I think we are safe.
That will be all for now, thank you very much.
