AI This Year And Beyond: It's A Brave (Or Not So Brave) World
Techstrong.ai, Monday, November 25th, 2024
Imagine a mash-up of 'Bladerunner,' 'Minority Report,' 'Gattica' and 'The Jetsons' in one world - this year and beyond.
The future is now, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) promises (threatens?) to open a brave new world of convenience, efficiency and agentic work forces. Or it threatens to serve up a dystopian stew of rampant bots, cybersecurity trapdoors and massive jobs displacement - depending on whom you talk to.
Those were among the themes in the aforementioned sci-fi movies and cartoon show. Yet perhaps the most chilling scenario came from the late 1970s cult classic movie, 'Demon Seed,' in which a disembodied AI invention takes over a house and the people who live in it. The creation, named Proteus IV, increasingly issues threats and follows up on them.
