Should mankind’s goal be to develop technology to surpass humanity or support mankind in essential and necessary solutions to real world use cases to help ALL humanity. Shall we rush to AGI at super-human levels, or refocus our intellectual effort and investment on doable/practical/smart Sustainable ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) tools with Humans Integrated in the decision Loops (S-ANI-HIL) The point: help Humanity, and the Earths ecosystem, in today’s dire needs. To build #ai4good and solve pressing sustainability goals in a world in jeopardy. Put away unnecessary Sci-fi dreams, that are utopian fantasies, and are likely to morph into dystopian nightmares. “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” We need to focus on solutions to mankind’s actual problems, not building ideological “towers of babel”. Before it’s too late.
I firmly believe that #AI must complement workers, not replace them. Unfortunately, "the dominant intellectual paradigm in today’s digital tech sector also favors the #automation path. A major focus of AI research is to attain human parity in a vast range of cognitive tasks and, more generally, to achieve artificial general intelligence that mimics and surpasses human capabilities. This intellectual focus encourages automation rather than the development of human-complementary technologies." (Acemoglu & Johnson: Power and Progress. Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity https://lnkd.in/eAdfGfMX) If the just-automate approach prevails, replacing human workers instead of empowering them will only benefit a few techno-oligarchs. History tells us that "the broad-based prosperity of the past was not the result of any automatic, guaranteed gains of technological progress. We are beneficiaries of progress, mainly because our predecessors made the progress work for more people." All things considered, I think we're living in a moment similar to that of the Industrial Revolution. Technologies are different, but the stakes are the same. “In our narrow, confined existence, we tend to forget the essence of life. All of us, whatever our occupation or class, are equally guilty: the employer is lost in the running of his business; the workers, sunk in the abyss of their misery, raise their heads only to cry in protest; we, the politicians, are lost in daily battles and corridor intrigues. All of us forget that before everything else, we are men, ephemeral beings lost in the immense universe, so full of terrors. We are inclined to neglect the search for the real meaning of life, to ignore the real goals - serenity of the spirit and sublimity of the heart. To reach them - that is the revolution.” (Jean Jaurès 1859-1914)
