Moh Goodat, a former director of the Google X, said in an ierview with Diary of A CEO that the world is quickly moving towards a “devastating city of artificial ielligence” in the near future. According to him, this dark period has begun in year 2 and will last at least 2 to 5 years.
The crisis stated that this crisis is not due to robots and artificial ielligence independely, but reflects “human ignorance” and exacerbates social and cultural weaknesses by artificial ielligence technologies. “Artificial ielligence itself is no problem, but it is a problem in the set of human values that has grown in the age of the machines,” he says.
This devastating city of promise is not, corary to the common sense, the product of artificial ielligence corol, but rather represes the unnecessary increase in problems in society and misunderstanding human values. According to Goodat, artificial ielligence is the magnification tool of our abilities and values, and now the biggest human value reinforced by this technology is “capitalism”.
He we on to poi out similar examples of technology that promised to improve the situation but in practice increased problems; Like a mobile phone that promised to reduce the burden but had a reverse function, or the social networks that were supposed to bring us together but sometimes led to more loneliness.
Dad also poied to the increasing hazards of destructive use of artificial ielligence; Including producing fake images and videos for sex targets, using artificial ielligence in war and making autonomous weapons, increasing Crypto fraud with the help of Deepfake technologies, and expanding extensive governme oversight using artificial ielligence.
However, he believes that artificial ielligence has been able to make significa changes in areas such as medical research and pharmacy, and that it is possible to realize an ideal future (Utopia); But human beings must first recognize their problems and make fundameal changes in values and policies.
Governmes emphasize the importance of regulating and legislating by governmes, saying, “The design of the hammer cannot be adjusted to just nail and not kill, but killing humans with a hammer can be criminalized.”
He finally warns that the “hammer of artificial ielligence” is now in our hands, and the main question is whether we have the will to corol and legislate it.
