Take This With a Pinch of Salt

[Lilith7]

There are certainly some concerns over AI, whether or not it could take over humanity Im not so sure, but computers will need a long way to go before anything remotely sentient is possible.
Perhaps quantum computers could potentially do it.
I think the immediate concerns around AI and automation will be around the labour force and how many jobs will be lost to it.

The thing is, it could potentially be brilliant for humans. If we no longer had to work to survive then we would be free to learn various things over our entire lifetimes which could mean that creativity has far more opportunity to be developed. And empathy.

The trouble is though, that we're humans & imperfect, so if there's a way we can muck it up & turn what could be creative, peaceful & beneficial into some sort of nightmare then we can be counted on to find it...
