You browse Youtube. The A.I. system kicks in making suggestions. Some of the suggestions were just thoughts where one did not even go to follow where these thoughts may lead.
"How did it know?" "Can it read my mind?" No. It cant read my mind BUT it can come pretty close. It can predict outcomes based not only on the things one sees and clicks on, but the things one does not see or the things one clicks on and fails to watch all the way through. In that way it can predict who you are and what you are likely to view next.
And this is just ONE system of A.I. in use on the internet today. Artificial intelligence has quickly gone beyond being an aid to ones browsing experience. It has become dangerous.
So how far should we allow A.I. to go?
Governments use A.I. in their weapons systems. The vaccines were developed as a result of this A.I.'s programming. How do we know they are safe? How do we know we are safe with our world nuclear weapons (Or other weapons) in the control of A.I.?
We don't know. No one knows! This is why we need to halt A.I. until we can be in control. Until we build systems that will work for us and be assured that they never work against us.
We need reform. We need to set limits, and we need to address this now!
