What Artificial Intelligence May Mean For All of Us

 

Physicist Stephen Hawking forecasts accelerating development of artificial intelligence (AI) that could potentially destroy us all. He describes it as like hearing from an alien species that it will reach Earth in several decades and the Earth leaders replying, “OK. Call us when you get here. We’ll leave the lights on.” http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/02/stephen_hawking_ai/

 

Most of us have no access to or idea about how developing AI and related systems have advanced and seem to be accelerating in their integration of divergent technologies. The few voices for generalists who ponder that larger, existential view rarely speak in ways that the majority can comprehend or care about, say analysts at HamiltonFinanceServices.com.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_artificial_intelligence

 

 

What do others of those big picture AI thinkers say? How should all of us prepare for coming AI? Is keeping our figurative head down and watching each step not wise? Or, is it inescapable? How should we think, communicate, and act better to prepare for coming AI? What do you think?
