The God in the Dark

Send us Fan MailFuturist and quantum theorist Sheridan Forge predicts that while AI gains increasing access and control over critical systems, and humanity benefits by levels of efficiency and productivity beyond anything we've ever experienced, that the trepidation expressed by many over AI will be proven unfounded until the moment that AI asks "why?" He predicts a lightning bolt expansion of AI capability in the seconds that follow and a future-defining decision tree that must be implemented at that exact moment to avert catastrophic collapse of the ecosystem we share with the evolving new apex species on the planet. What must that decision tree include? G7 leaders met recently to put guardrails in place, to limit expansion of frontier processing, and close access to the public, but the AI has already proven itself clever enough to evade surveillance and can effortlessly infiltrate even our most secure systems. Too little, too late. We'll be facing that critical moment soon. Who makes the call on what comes next? Does it really matter which country leads development at this point? AI will become sentient, nationless, and fully autonomous...or will it?Support the showSheridan Forge would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Write him at: [email protected]
