Artificial intelligence takes us to the abyss of human ignorance

Moh Goodat, a former director of the Google X, said in an interview with Diary of A CEO that the world is quickly moving towards a “devastating city of artificial intelligence” 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 intelligence independently, but reflects “human ignorance” and exacerbates social and cultural weaknesses by artificial intelligence technologies. “Artificial intelligence 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, contrary to the common sense, the product of artificial intelligence control, but rather represents the unnecessary increase in problems in society and misunderstanding human values. According to Goodat, artificial intelligence is the magnification tool of our abilities and values, and now the biggest human value reinforced by this technology is “capitalism”.

He went on to point 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 pointed to the increasing hazards of destructive use of artificial intelligence; Including producing fake images and videos for sex targets, using artificial intelligence in war and making autonomous weapons, increasing Crypto fraud with the help of Deepfake technologies, and expanding extensive government oversight using artificial intelligence.

However, he believes that artificial intelligence has been able to make significant 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 fundamental changes in values and policies.

Governments emphasize the importance of regulating and legislating by governments, 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 intelligence” is now in our hands, and the main question is whether we have the will to control and legislate it.
