Don't Ignore this Warning about AI
I've been watching the unbelievable advances in A.I. imagery & video, and it is completely beyond the human mind to grasp the implications of this emerging technology.
As a parent, I have endless worries about my children's safety & what they will see as they travel through this temporal experience called Life.
So, the video above really hit me when considering my kids, especially my daughter. It's based on the video If London Were Syria.
It shows a girl growing up in a dystopian future, facing existential challenges to herself & to human society, as a whole. Institutions and social structures collapse as artificial intelligence takes control of computer systems running the world. The ending (where the woman, now with her own child, is being tracked by hunter/killer robots) is such a terrifyingly real possibility- now that the field of robotics has been weaponized globally with no real checks or regulations.
The mind reels at the horrifying possibilities when watching the latest robots or drone swarms. Then, the mind absolutely recoils when faced with the realization that these powerful advancements will be controlled by the most immoral & unscrupulous among us.
For the sake of my kids & all people, I just keep hoping that humanity's ability to
solve problems outpaces our tendency to create them.
