The change of Artificial Intelligence is bound to happen no matter what. It is only going to get more advanced and there are some good and bad side effects. Over all, it will make life so much more efficient and easier. While that is a nice positive, there are many more reasons to be scared for the future of technology. Even with more efficiency, it brings more control for the technology itself.
The main concern that is visible from this video would be the lack of privacy as technology progresses. At the moment, the United States is the leader of artificial intelligence in the world. It looks as though China will be catching up very fast. China has little to no privacy at all in the country. The United States wants to stay in the lead, but China is advancing so fast and their lack of privacy helps them with information. The United States is supposed to guarantee privacy to its citizens and when that right is threatened by companies like Facebook, there is backlash from citizens. In China, citizens can not go anywhere without a camera identifying everything about them in a matter of seconds. Their privacy issue is so bad, that they have a social score that indicates whether they are good for the community. If they have a good score, then they can be rewarded with discounts and such. Low scores can lead to punishment like travel ban.
Technology has gotten so advanced that it is able to make well thought out predictions. Artificial intelligence is able to learn a new game and beat the best players in the world in no time. It can beat the best Chess players. It can beat the best Go players. It can develop so much to a scary intent of being able to think for us. Self driving eighteen wheelers have already been put to work in some places. These trucks carry out the duty of a truck driver without the actual driver. A driver does monitor it sometimes, but generally the truck can successfully do its job without help.
Technology is a strange concept that has grown so fast. There are few regulations over it and it may be too powerful to stop soon. I, personally, am a bit afraid of the future and the ways that we can be controlled even subconsciously. I hope that one day the California Consumer Privacy Act becomes a more nationwide concept and that we do not go overboard with the advancement of artificial intelligence. The California Consumer Privacy Act is a system that was recently put in place only in California. The legislation says that if you do not want your information being used or sold, you can choose not to let them. The act was passed unanimously and it should be a more accepted document throughout the states.
