Why is the world fascinated with Artificial Intelligence at the moment?

Hasn't everyone watched The Terminator? Those robots WILL turn on us when they become smarter than us.

you say that like it's a bad thing!

What bothers me isn't that they'll turn on us so much as they'll take all our jobs

@firefall: it can only be a bad thing.

Massive job loss should be the primary concern for now.

@Peaceful: the smartest thing I heard in response was Bill Gates (who is a proper genius) straight away said "if you do this, you need to tax them (robots) as if they are people.

@Raymuundo: Robotax is their best bet at tax time.

@Peekaboo: Agreed. When a visionary like BG says this sort of stuff we should listen. People can disagree but but listen....

Possibly because there's a real dearth of human intelligence prevailing !

There's plenty of stuff that humans don't need to be doing. If we can combine productivity in with this, we can all work less but still be provided for.

@GlassDog: But the concept of AI is they keep learning. It is scary....

@Raymuundo: Haha! I've done a reasonable amount of work with neural nets. They can occasionally pick out some interesting insights that humans couldn't but in terms of having awareness enough and the ability to link things together, nothing scary will happen in our lifetime.

I think a bigger problem is that if we let things run by AI, people will hack the AI for their own ends.
