Stopping people from using AI is sort of like banning people from doing math. Maybe it can work for awhile, but in the long run computers just keep getting faster, and algorithms to make effective use of existing hardware get better.
I'm more interested in the question of who benefits from AI? If it just creates more concentration of wealth then the world may be worse off. If it benefits all humanity, then the world is better off. How do we get the latter instead of the former? It might come down to sensible tax codes enacted by well-functioning democracy. Or maybe we need to invent whole new economic systems.
- jasfi 4y agoI agree, we need to adapt to a world increasingly powered by AI. Trying to stop or ban AI is just putting off planning how to adapt, and will make the world worse, not better. Also, an AI ban would likely be implemented unevenly around the world, leading some countries to have a significant advantage. I see AI as a new tool and an advantage for humanity in general. Work to negate how the tool can be used as a disadvantage, as with every new or evolving technology.
