Living in the Age of AI
"Living in the Age of AI" is a documentary on PBS that go into that world of artificial intelligence. It looks into the work and privacy with living with AI. While watching the Age of AI documentary, it was extremely interesting, and yet concerning, to see how much technology has advanced and gotten even smarter. They showed many pros and cons that would come with having AI in our daily lives. It also showed how the AI is even smarter than some of the most intelligent humans in the world. An example of that was when they put the greatest Go player up against engineers new AI Go playing game called AlphaGo. The program ended up beating the man several times, which is crazy to think that the best of the best at Go could not beat AlphaGo. The people in the documentary said it best, "it was not that the computers beat the humans, it was that one type of intelligence beat another".
While many amazing strides in technology have been made, there are some negatives that come with incorporating AI into our daily lives. Society as we know it would shift with the implication of AI, for example, many jobs would be taken from people. In some countries and cities, AI has already taken away jobs from people. This is happening at establishments such as McDonalds, Burger King and more fast food places like that. As well as vending machines selling high end products and establishment foods. These kinds of things are taking away thousands of job opportunities for people who need to be working.
With artificial intelligence in our daily lives it will risk the privacy and livelihood of everyone. People not only will be competing with each other but now computers who are basically guaranteed to be superior. AI is definitely beneficial for certain things like medicine or discoveries, but for the public it would be a great concern.
