Artificial Intelligent (AI)
State
We live in the 21st century where all technologies grow too fast to even realize. We have never stopped finding the solutions to make our lives easier and taking less time consumed. It is interesting that we all are excited about the fast pace of technology’s journey and forget about how important we should be aware of the things that we have created. Artificial Intelligent is developed to make our lives easier that is how most of us think it would be. It would help you think, solve the problems for you, calculate for you, or even schedule your life for you. Is this what we actually want? It is important for us to think about the effects and the results of the AI after it is entirely developed. The future of our children can be controlled and decided by the AI and robot. Like an example of the Netflix movie called “I Am Mother” that we have discussed in the class. (I Am Mother, Netflix movie). It is nice to have the other hands to help to make our lives better but not let them control everything. Our new generation of freedom will start to disappear slowly if we are still not taking care of what we all created in each generation.
Question
Could we live without AI?
This is the question that I want to ask ourselves now and in the future. Is AI necessary to be created? We have lived so far since our ancestors. The time that they were no computers, technologies, or even electricity. We, humans, can still survive in this nature and having a good life. We make ourselves belong to the nature of the earth. However, the era has changed and shifted to the new world that technology controls everything in our lives. I am not saying that AI is bad but, we did not study the results and the effects from it thoroughly. In the class, we have discussed how AI is being used so far in the military (Artificial Intelligent: it will kill us). We can not ensure how AI can compute the right answered for us because they can make mistake too. However, we are not certainly sure if AI is actually safe to use because it produced the result from its own understanding and not us who control the results. It can learn more and develop a far better answer. This is something that AI is specialized to provide a never-ending outcome for us.
Human needs are important for us to survive and so far AI has taken part in each and every one of our needs: Physiological needs such as food, water, air, sleep, clothing, and reproduction. AI helps us in the industrial field immensely. We are growing fast and expanding our population quickly. In order to provide a huge amount of food, clothing, etc. We already used AI to provide us the results and machines that providing us the needs. Safety needs such as personal security, employment, resources, health, and property. In safety needs, AI has already been helping us out from the past such as the security camera that can track faces, machines for drugs and surgery, difficult work that human can not work on like a nuclear plant machine that having a high risk for human to exposure to the radioactive elements. AI machine helped us to work on that. Love and belonging needs are also important and AI is already helping us through the connection around the world that people can communicate within a second. It is funny to say that people start to work on an AI sex partner already and it will be soon helping the people that need someone besides. (Robot love: The race to create the ultimate AI, sex partner). Esteem needs and self- actualized needs, the human will not stop developing and understanding more. We tend to move forward and looking at ourselves in a better way and AI will help us even furthermore.
Mostly the answers that I have got from the online researches are NO. We will soon need AI more because of how the resources will start to deplete rapidly due to the growth rate of the human population in which AI has to take part to resolve the problems and calculate the possible outcomes for us. We have soon to conserve the important resources and creating AI will help us figure out the best possible ways to help human society to get the best result from all infinity outcomes. (A world without AI is scary) Artificial Intelligent is helping us through the weather too. They can predict high-risk causes that might not be safe for us. This helps us aware and be prepared for these natural causes. They are many more points that AI will take place in the future to save us however we should be controlling them and not let them control us.
Concerns
AI advertising is the tech that I am concerned about. Many large companies started to use AI to track the customer’s behavior on their online activities and sell these activities to the third party. The third-party can take our data and do anything with it. They understand what we will be looking for and love to buy. For example, imagine yourself watch something on youtube about cars. Within a second, when you start to browse after. You will start seeing all the cars advertisement. However, they are people who start to make an Adblock extension that will help us get away from it but not the companies that try to sell our data to the third-party that cares about us. All they want is our data they did not care about our emotions, our freedom, our rights, etc.
The concern of the right to choose what we want and not let the third-party feed us with something that we did not ask for. The right to be free in any form. It is important that companies should be aware of how privacy is something necessary and required. No one likes to have someone look over them all the time or steal their information and data unknowingly.
Do you believe there is a way to make this tech safe and supportive of human health and happiness? If so, what kinds of re-design would be needed to 1) the tech, and 2) the context (i.e. who is allowed to use it? how do you control its development?) to make it supportive.
Yes, I believe that there is a way to make the tech safe and supportive of human health and happiness.
The tech: they should be aware of privacy and how important it is. It is a big argument on how companies can make money without advertising and taking customer’s data then sell it. Maybe we should start to fund the company to use the apps or social media. Nothing should be free?
The context: they should be limit of age to use the social media or online platform. It is going to be more dangerous in the future where one little child of yours can be tracked and sell to the third-party or even worse to someone else that criminals like a child predator, pedophile, or sex-trafficking. The location can be tracked, the time-usages, etc. this information can be a key for them.
If you do not believe it supports human health and happiness, what would you do to discourage its uses?
I would start the organization that spread awareness of AI. How it can destroy our lives. We should care more about how it will provide us with something that we do not needs. We also should start the campaign that raises more awareness of society to start understanding the negative effects of AI.
