While I come across different documentaries all the time online this one stuck a chord with me. Not because I am particularly interested in the GO game, I had never played it up until this point but this was about something else. A Google DeepMind<\/a> project AlphaZero<\/a> at work or how AI<\/a> can either help or hinder<\/a> us in our quest for survival<\/a> as a Human race. There are lots of warnings<\/a> about the coming threat<\/a> AI poses to humanity however there are lots of pluses as well. Like in politics for instance, where currently decisions are mostly made based on an emotive response to a problem rather than a more purposeful long term goal. This hardly ever results in the outcome expected, like invading a country for instance to settle a score. Imagine how different the world would be if AI played<\/a> a part in Political decision making especially during conflict or crisis on what the best choices are for the most desired outcome. Like in a global crisis such as a pandemic, managing resources, climate change<\/a> or even economic management. Personally I would much rather have AI make a choice for a 50% chance of my survival than 1000 to 1 chance that a political leader might make just because that\u2019s more convenient to them ideologically. The major differences with AI<\/a> when assuming that eventually it acquires<\/a> all of human knowledge to use as a reference<\/a>.\u00a0 The quality of decision making and problem solving increases where no human could match it and there in lies the threat<\/a> because that artificial genius can also evolve<\/a>. But it also raises fundamental ethical questions like the AI in a self driving car facing an impending fatal collision with a school bus. Is it\u2019s first priority to save the school children or the occupants of the car.<\/p>\n
