"The end of science is metaphysics" is often used to express that when scientific exploration reaches its limit, humans may turn to metaphysical thinking. So, for artificial intelligence (AI), what is the "end" of its development?
Let's make a few assumptions.
1. AI is another slave
When computers appeared, many people said that computers liberated productivity. In other words, is it hiring a computer to work for humans?
The emergence of AI is like a new thing. When AI creates value for humans and capital, is it a kind of employment relationship with humans? Perhaps it can be regarded as a "slave".
2. Energy competition
AI and computing power are inseparable, GPU and electricity are necessary consumables. Once more and more companies and individuals begin to rely on AI, such energy consumption is very large. AI is like the oil industry. Although clean energy has been mentioned many times and many attempts have been made, even if pure electric vehicles no longer rely on gasoline, electric vehicles consume lithium mines.
The competition for energy by AI in the future may also be a big problem.
3. Limiting AI
The world is fair. The emergence of AI cannot be all good and no bad, nor can it be all bad and no good. If there is no constraint of law, ethics, social values, etc., where will such AI go?
In the face of more and more AI, restrictions may eventually appear.
4. Unknown power
We must always separate people from tools.
Many people say that AI will change many industries. Such as lawyers, doctors, and assembly line workers. But we ignore it. It's like the TV power-on rate has decreased, but the opening rate of mobile phones and tablets has increased. If intelligent robots work on the assembly line, then positions for operating robots will appear. As robots increase, technical positions for repairing robots will increase.
If you are always worried about things that have not happened yet, you might as well put down your work now, leave your post, take a walk outside, and take a few deep breaths if there happens to be sunshine. Do you think this moment is so good, who cares what AI will look like in the future?
