Pritchard discusses whether creative jobs are under threat as AI systems, machine learning algorithms, neural networks, and predictive chatbots transform society. - How much can AI truly understand concepts like humor, poetry, and art? Pritchard explores AI hype, the possibility of artificial general intelligence, AGI existential threats, robot emotions, and more:- Will automated systems take over the world? - Can capitalism survive technological unemployment and jobs eliminated by thinking machines? - Is universal basic income (UBI) inevitable as predictive algorithms and smart robots beat humans at games like chess and Go? Pritchard explains what makes natural intelligence special, including our open-ended reasoning, capacity for truth, language abilities, and innate curiosity. Discover if machines can ever attain true consciousness and care about accuracy like philosophically-minded humans. Explore automation and creative destruction versus emotional intelligence and the arts in this debate on AI ethics and algorithmic bias.Curious to learn more about the topic? Dr. Pritchard cited "Noam Chomsky's The False Promise of ChatGPT," where in this article, philosopher Noam Chomsky raises concerns about the limitations of artificial intelligence, particularly in the realm of machine learning. The article delves into the moral challenges and implications of machine learning programs in making ethical decisions, including the amorality of AI and the struggle to balance creativity and morally objectionable content. Additionally, it explores the complex and controversial topic of the morality of terraforming Mars, discussing the potential consequences and benefits of such endeavors while highlighting the importance of preserving the natural state of other planets. Chomsky's insights shed light on the ethical and scientific implications of advancements in artificial intelligence, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and oversight of these developments.Here is the link to the article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opinion/noam-chomsky-chatgpt-ai.html #philosophy #ethics #ai #agi #aitakeover #consciousness #artificialintelligence #bias #automation
