Scads of panels ponder a rosy or bleak future
In May of last year, a man recognized as one of the “godfathers of artificial intelligence,” Geoffrey Hinton, left his job at Google to warn the world that the technology he is partly responsible for advancing could well destroy humanity. The warning was charming in its simplicity.. “If it gets to be much smarter than us, it will be very good at manipulation, because it will have learned that from us.
Until recently, scientists speculated that AI wouldn’t surpass human intelligence for several decades. But after this year’s advances they think the systems could be smarter than us within a few years – or next year.
The obvious answer is yes. It’s widely accepted that AI will further erode the concept of a shared reality – or, to employ a word that humans like, the truth. The promo for AI and the Future of Truth, with tech expert Gary Marcus, declares that truth is “in doubt” and describes its doppelganger, “the amplified, re-mixed, digitized, deep-faked world of digitally manipulated Truth.”
