I am very much worried.
Not
that it will replace jobs any time soon, current AI is not advanced
yet, and when it is there, hopefully it will be a productivity gainer
than job killer, nor the the world be ruled by it.
However
I do worry about lost privacy thanks to the relentless effort by the
tech giants who have access to vast amount personal data. Cambridge
Analytics is one example that are being exposed, while there are many
others are doing the same every day, just to see how many venture
investment has been poured into this area.
I
can’t predict what and how much the damage can be done by the AI in
this regards. Probably exaggerated, but Cambridge Analytics, not a
significant player in the technological area, promised that they could
manipulated the voters with the data they already have, most from
Facebook. To me that is scary enough to re-exam my use of social media
and cloud storage. I am sure with more experimental and more iteration,
the Deception skills will only get better, as long as we the people
continue to feed the data voluntarily.
EU’s
GDPR is on the right direction but just no enough because it won’t stop
or even slow the outflow of personal information as most people don’t
realize that someone else is able to tell them what to buy and who to
vote for, and it is their own action empower the trend.
