Breakthrough technologies

Задание:

Complete an exit ticket answering the questions about the topic discussed in the talk.

Решение:

1. Advantages: Jobs that require a lot of physical labor will be replaced. E.g. agricultural jobs, jobs with repetitive duties like telephone call centers, jobs in the financial industry, jobs that require studying a lot of data. Good for health industry. E.g. AI can process huge amounts of data, so doctors can use the most up-to-date information to diagnose and treat patients.
Disadvantages: Dangerous because can be used a weapon. E.g. combining drone aircraft technology and AI to create autonomous weapons. People might use this technology to develop nuclear weapon.

Computers and other machines have and will continue to change the way people do business and how we live.
Many researchers use the term artificial intelligence (AI) to describe the thinking and intelligent behavior demonstrated by machines. While AI can be helpful to human beings, scientists warn, it can also be a threat.
We live with artificial intelligence all around us. A few examples are iPhone’s personal assistant Siri, searches on the Internet, and autopilot programs on airplanes.
AI is not new. But it is quickly getting more and more complex, and, well, more intelligent.
Stuart Russell teaches computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He says humans should be sure to make AI products that we like.
”If we are going to make systems that are going to be more intelligent than us, it’s absolutely essential for us to understand how to absolutely guarantee that they only do things that we are happy with.”
In the future, Russell says, many of today’s jobs that require a lot of physical labor will be replaced by machines with artificial intelligence. These include agricultural jobs, and ones with repetitive duties like telephone call centers. AI machines could also replace jobs like ones in the financial industry — jobs that require studying a lot of data.
This could lead to more questions.
”But if we replaced all the jobs that require human physical labor and then we replace all the jobs that require human mental labor, then you have to ask, well, ‘What’s left?’”
Russell sees artificial intelligence changing the economy and current way of life.
