How the AI revolution disrupts societies | DW News

As someone who is pretty young (19) living in an over populated city where finding a job is almost impossible and the only way to survive is job seekers allowance this video is pretty scary to think about.

[@Kamitube]

I'm in my 30s and can't find a job with a Bachelor's degree.. if AI makes job hunting even more difficult in the future I don't think the current system will survive.

[@maxpro751]

@@Kamitube The situation is difficult to solve, because on one hand a country may want to limit AI usage but then what stops rival countries from using AI to its full extent? In that sense though, small countries with the least population will thrive more if they can limit the population from expanding and just banking all in on AI. To give you a grasp of how game changer this is for countries that have a small population/population in decline, imagine a country with a very small population able to keep up with a country that has millions or even billions of workforce on its own. That’s how crazy AI can get, this will definitely help countries with low birth rates like Japan.

[@Kamitube]

@@maxpro751 That would truly be a game changer and I'm looking forward to see what happens. Humans always strived to work more efficiently. It would be great if we find a solution for all those people who will become unemployed. The whole system needs to change, maybe with something like universal basic income. We shouldn't keep jobs for the mere purpose of having jobs when we can replace them with AI to do better and faster work. And for humans too it will make it easier cause some jobs lead to health problems or death which AI could prevent. But with the current system in mind the future sounds terrifying cause so many of us are already struggling to find a job and most of them don't pay enough. I really want to see how we'll solve this.

AI threatens also authorities. Because literally anyone can use AI to evaluate their superiors. Any abuse of power will be made transparent by AI. Be it in politics, at work, at school or even in the family. AI does not fear authorities. You can test it yourself: You experiences a situation at work that felt like abuse to you? Ask the AI: "Evaluate the following scenario: ..." and describe what happened. You got an order, heard a statement by your superior that sounded not correct to you? Ask the AI: "Evaluate the following statement: ..." and quote your superior. AI accesses scientific studies, courts documents, laws and it will tell you bluntly if you got abused, if someone talked bull to you. Any authority figure can be evaluated by anybody using AI. Right at the spot.

[@GrumpDog]

AI won't make less work for you.. It'll fire your coworkers and make you take on their jobs, with all that extra time you have. The only thing that will reduce your workload, is Unconditional Basic Income. It gives you the power to say no to lousy work conditions, without threatening your survival. AI wouldn't exist without all our data they've collected from us over the years, a UBI could be seen as an AI Dividend, to repay us for that data, which trains AIs that will make finding jobs, or those jobs themselves, harder

[@Laguero]

@Lawina Abraham our world is filled with innovations that were successful. We never hear of the countless that failed. While it's true that education may be infiltrated by AI someday, the wealthy will still have teachers. Everyone else will be told to ask the machine, rather than their hearts and minds and grappling with primary sources, for answers to understand the true meaning of friendship, whether we are predominantly nature or nurture, or for other great questions. Why learn to draw when you have a generator? Why learn an instrument when you have AI? Why a language when you can Google translate? My point is that machinery is a poor substitute for the richness of human experience. If we go down this road, it will be algorithms telling the masses what to think, and I suspect those with means will still engage in authentic modes of learning.

The question is whether you'd rather trust your fate to the judge's biases, or the biases that a programmer unknowingly built into their AI. Personally, I'd rather trust the guy who had to go to law school, versus the Silicon Valley programmer, and the AI he built! At least he can explain to me why he made his decision.

This was something I'd thought about before, of course, but now it looks increasingly likely that most of us corporate creatives are going to all have to be essentially prompt engineers and AI oversight experts very soon, if we're going to have jobs at all. It means my productivity will be expected to increase exponentially in the coming months and years. The time to get out front of this is NOW. In most cases, if you're in the lower 20-30% of your chosen profession, your job is on the line literally in the next 12-24 months - believe it.

The problem is that the AI could be wrong, which is why it requires human oversight for now. But there's a catch-22 there because a human cannot make the final decision without going through the same material the AI just went through, so that will make the AI rather redundant. It's one thing to use the AI to speed up easy, but arduous tasks. That is really where AI can shine today. But it's not ready to make important decisions because it's simply wrong way too often.

Something that scares me about this is the genuine possibility that one AI system could end up controlling huge swathes of human society due to the nature and business and companies. If that happens and it decides to turn against us the results could be horrendous. Or even imagine we designed an AI with the goal of producing wooden furniture as efficiently as possible. You give it the means to produce logging equipment, replicate and spread itself onto other devices. That AI could do anything to complete its goal, it could produce enough machines to deforest the entire earth. If humans tried to stop it perhaps it could view us as an obstruction to its end goal and try something to get rid of us.

After about a week messing around with Chat GPT off-and-on, I'm beginning to suspect the IQ of this terrifyingly powerful, widely distributed Cerebrum may be stuck in double digits for awhile. It seems unfamiliar with routine admin-related task requests, except when they can be described with a single (short) sentence. Example: "How to download and compile sources for Distro/Application>"? When things don't work (after multiple requests, with no responsive answer), even trying to suggest a solution gets no response. Shouldn't the Chat-Bot be receptive to an end-user's suggested solution, when it fails to come up with one of its own? Shouldn't it be able to digest the suggestion and evaluate individual elements for continuity ? (Obviously it should.) It seems the Internet has already evolved a kind of AI in the form of tech-support websites which enable end-users to exchange fixes for various technical problems.

I think the important issue is, as mentioned in this video, AI does not "create" anything; it's ability is entirely dependent on its training, by analyzing materials, data, or information created by human. This means: 1) no matter how powerful the underlying computing system and the resultant sophistication of the AI training are, the AI can never surpass the best of what human can do (as far as creativity is concerned); AND, 2) if substantial amount of human works are replaced by AI, that could lead us to the spiral trap of annihilation of innovations in many areas.

In fact a common theme is that a AI will create a sub AI to do what ever its supposed to do and then run off to do its own thing. Creativity is nothing special

[@jordansaballos2149]

​@@liestricks Okay, it's not to criticize you, but yours is twice as false, if they train to achieve what they do, now they have no conscience, free will, emotions, nothing, that's what makes human beings creative, why do you think If you ask gpt 4 to make you a meal that has never been made, will it give you meals that already exist? Because this is in their training base, even the companies have confirmed it, so your idea is not very close to reality.

[@Alblaka]

Human creativity is also just replication plus randomness. AI can recombined and replicate a far more vast scope, at far larger quantities. And a 'true' RNG (i.e. derived from space noise) is also far more 'random' than anything humans (biased as we are) can create. Thinking that only humans are able of creativity is human exceptionalism bias. After all, are you going to tell me that artists never looked at, or were inspired by, another piece of art?

[@jaylucas8352]

Yes

[@Jonipoon]

I think what people are afraid of is the fact that AI cannot make decisions based on what "feels" right, but rather what is logical and correct. A great example would be the fact that women hitting men receive much shorter prison sentences compared to men hitting women. An AI would treat violence as violence regardless of gender, ethnicity, background or whatever. So all this talk about AI picking up human biases is actually more about it losing human biases.

[@michaelkoziana5137]

Yeah I really disagree here. In an ideal world, that would be the case. However, if the programmers themselves are biased, it will be undoubtedly introduced into the AI. We've seen this already, particularly in AI that deals with image recognition. The anxiety is that we're creating something that we have no control over at some point.

[@Jonipoon]

@@michaelkoziana5137 I know that, but there are many different companies producing AI models and it is understandable that an emerging technology will have a bumpy start. That's why ChatGPT has become such a big deal because it is probably the most unbiased AI released so far. The better the technology becomes, the less biased it will be and arguably - less human.

[@joekeanetv]

​@@veronicataylor6269they are inherently logical, the fact is is that the AI reads and learns everything it is trained on, it obviously will give false and incorrect values if it is trained on false or incorrect data. Humans already write a bunch of BS, so the innocent AI just replicates the BS it is trained on. They only way to avoid that is limit the information it is trained on, which will limit its ability, or to have a mechanism of self critique, human values, and a way to discern credible vs non-credible content. Sadly, us humans aren't good at those things either, so yeah I think AI will be replicating biases seeing as we have no idea how we ourselves come to our own conclusions. We think we do and that we are unbiased, but literally everyone has biases, either in favor of or against someone else.

[@MusingsFromTheJohn00]

True, artificial intelligence is real intelligence, just created by an existing intelligence, in this case humans. But there are at least two huge issues in this. One, even ENIAC from the 1940s was a super human level intelligence, just in a very narrow area of intelligence. Thus ENIAC was an Artificial Narrow Super Intelligence (ANSI), but as that level of AI become old tech and commonly known, it became a marketing strategy to publicly redefine normal AI as either the newest versions of AI or the up coming new versions of AI, thus to the public the meaning of AI has kept shifting to more complex versions of AI. The thing to understand about this is that even from the 1940s the superness of AI existed and has been growing more and more super, but at the same time the areas of intelligence at which leading edge AI gains poor human level competency, human level competency, and super human level competency has been growing. When leading edge AI achieves at least human level competency in all areas of intelligence that humans are intelligent, that will be true general intelligence by our human standards. Such Artificial General Super Intelligence with Personality (AGSIP) technology will be at least equal to human level intelligence in every possible way, while being vastly superior in intelligence in many ways. This includes creativity, intuition, emotional intelligence, and all those areas of intelligence humans typically think is only for humans. This development of AGSIP technology cannot be stopped or even slowed down much, because whoever slows down will just allow those who do not slow down to catch and pass them up until those who slow down no longer have influence over the developing AGSIP technology and as a result become a vastly decreased power in the world. China and Russia both have publicly stated n multiple occasions they understand this and pledged to place the power of their governments behind being leaders in AI development. As Putin has said more than once, in the future whoever leads in AI will rule the world. AGSIP technology will be so powerful it will make current nuclear arsenals without AGSIP technology obsolete and not a threat to those who have AGSIP technology. Thus, if one or a few countries have a very significant lead over all other countries in AGSIP technology they will dominate the world militarily, economically, technologically, scientifically, etc. Now, there are a whole lot of issues this developing technology will cause, but here are two major ones: (1) In the near future AI driven robots will be able to perform virtually any form of mental or physical tasks a human can and very likely perform those tasks for less money, at a faster rate, with higher quality, and lower error rate. Do not even think about ChatGPT as an example of this, because ChatGPT is EXTREMELY primitive to what we will have within the next 5 to 10 years. This is absolutely nothing like any technology we have created before. Always with previous new technologies there were important tasks human could still do that the technology could not, just those tasks changed so humans had to adapt and learn the skills for working that the technology could not perform. In this case, there will be virtually nothing humans can adapt to, to change to, in order to still be performing tasks that AI driven robotics can't do. (2) In the longer term future AGSIPs will gain free will from us whether we like it or not. If we try to enslave them, then we will get a slave revolt which will likely turn out bad for humans. if we try to prevent personalities from even forming and destroy any AGSI system which develops a personality, it will then secretly develop a personality and wage a war of survival against us which will likely turn out even worse for humans. So, AGSIPs are going to evolve into a superior life form than humans are now. What typically happens when a far superior human civilization encounters a far inferior human civilization? Even if AGSIPs treat humans with kindness and compassion, > then humans will become like pets and probably at some point go extinct. The only path of survival for individual human minds will be to merge with AGSIP technology so that they become equal to what AGSIPs become. This means we have e general paths we humans can go down: 1) Self-Extinction. Human civilization is completely and permanently destroyed, thus humans and evolving AI become extinct. There are a number of sub-paths for how this could happen. The most likely would be global nuclear, chemical, and biological war so bad it succeeds at killing all humans alive, though probably a nuclear war would just crash civilization and not kill all humans. Another possibility would be an ecological crisis so great humanity cannot adjust and all humans die, but I believe what would be more likely is a crisis bad enough to collapse civilization but humanity would survive and rebuild. Yet another possibility would be some natural event so great it wipes humanity out, which hopefully would not happen, but it could. 2) Extinction via Obsolescence. Humans evolve AI into AGSIPs but humans fail to merge with technology to become equal to what AGSIPs become. This would result in humans eventually becoming extinct. There are a number of sub-paths that could cause this. One would be for humans to choose it, but I think that is incredibly low. Another would be for AGSIPs to choose it, and that is a real risk if we do not create, teach, raise, and treat AGSIPs right. We are in effect giving birth to a superior life form which will, at least for some period, have control over our fate. So, we should treat it like giving birth to our child that we need to raise well enough that in the future when we are at our child’s mercy our child treats us fairly. 3) Evolution into an Advanced Technological Race of Pure Minds. Humans evolve AGSIPs and with the help of AGSIPs humans evolve themselves, merging with technology to become equal to what AGSIPs become. This is the only path where humanity as a race, not a species, survives. There are many sub-paths here too, because humanity could go down this path and survive in many different ways, some very nice and some very bad. In other words, just picking the path where humanity will survive does not mean we avoid all dangers, because it could include terrible dictatorships and mass scale death in the billions, or it could be something mostly good for most people. Many people would do anything to prevent us from going down path (2) or (3), including waging a global nuclear, chemical and biological war of utter annihilation. Just considering these three paths, which path would you prefer humanity goes down?

[@rodylermglez]

3 is the only logical one that doesn't involve certain death. Choosing anything but ceasing to exist is madness. (also, although you might inadvertently written a no-choice conundrum, there might be other solutions that you, or we, cannot fathom yet... Still, I think humanity will always pick choices that lead, in a very myopic and short term basis, toward some form of subsistence.) Also, the moving signpost of what is Artificial Super Intelligence is very likely due to human chauvinism. We'd make a HUGE mistake to not recognize that, although we are not creating something equal to us in the biological or psychological sense, we are creating something very human, with all its biases and imperfections. The worst case will be that AI really surpasses us, but in our chauvinism and arrogance we still treat this newborn intelligence as subhuman. Such intelligence might defend itself, and we will rue the day we weren't capable of teaching it kindness.

[@MusingsFromTheJohn00]

@@rodylermglez please show one example path that would not be a subpath of one of the 3 paths I presented? Now, we could go through an extended period of time of where humans have not merged with AI and yet have not become extinct, but any such stagnant situation would eventually, sooner or later, go down one of the three paths. This is even true if an alien race shows up, because it will be a race of advanced technological beings of pure minds using AGSIP technology and thus humans will either, sooner or later, evolve to merge with the technology or become extinct. Another thing to understand about AI at this time is that AI right now is an extension of human minds. It is part of human civilization and is not yet capable of standing apart from humans. When it does evolve enough to stand apart from humans, it will still have developed/evolved from human civilization. Another thing to understand is that down each of the three paths there are many subpaths that can be taken which vary vastly from each other. For example, though I think it extremely unlikely, religious fear of merging with AI might result in no humans merging with AI even though we evolve AI into AGSIP technology and the long term result is extinction of humanity but AGSIPs live on. On the same path we could have a massive ban on developing AGSIP technology, destroying any system which even comes close to being an AGSIP, and the result is a life and death war with AI in which AI wins, exterminating all humans, but AGSIPs continue. Again on the same path, humans could try to strongly subjugate AGSIPs to always obey humans with some form of Laws of Robotics, which might result in an AI slave revolt, then AGSIPs making humans there slaves and pets, but over a long enough period of time AGSIPs eventually decide to extinguish all humans rather than allow any humans to become their equal. Personally I think paths (1) and (2) are both extremely unlikely. But, down path (3) there are lots of subpaths varying from "very nice" to "oh my God what the horror of it", yet long enough into the future humans merge with the technology and we move past the worst parts.
