@aiteasyuk1: immy Carr told a podcast audience to stop worrying about artificial intelligence replacing workers and start paying attention to two much bigger risks. ⠀ The first is surveillance. ⠀ He used the Stasi as an example. Monitoring an entire population used to require armies of informants and massive budgets. ⠀ AI-powered facial recognition, smart cameras, and the smartphone in your pocket now do the same job for almost nothing. ⠀ The cost of running an authoritarian surveillance system has collapsed thanks to machine learning and automation technology. ⠀ The infrastructure is already built. The question is who controls it. ⠀ The second risk is what happens when AI computing power accelerates physics. ⠀ Peter Thiel argued that physical world innovation flatlined after the 1970s while digital technology surged ahead. ⠀ Carr believes pointing AI at unsolved physics problems could trigger a productivity and technology leap unlike anything in modern history. ⠀ New materials. New energy systems. New robotics capabilities locked behind equations that took humans decades to approach. ⠀ AI could solve them in months. ⠀ Losing your job to a chatbot is uncomfortable. A surveillance state powered by AI is a different conversation entirely. ⠀ Is AI-powered surveillance a bigger threat than job displacement? ⠀ AI moves fast. Follow Aiteasy to keep up. ⠀ Credit: Triggernometry YT / A Revolution is Coming! - Jimmy Carr ⠀ #ArtificialIntelligence #Automation #TechNews #MachineLearning #Surveillance
