Good day/evening, this is Konstantin Perederiy, Ai enthusiast and technology advisor. Today we will touch on the topics of Superintelligence, jobs created and replaced by AI, autonomous weapons and nueromorphic chips, which will lead to another revolution in the computing power. Let’s dive in.
1. Do you want a superintelligence? Max Tegmark, an MIT professor, asks this question every other day. Max is one of the thought leaders in the space of AI. Max is a co-founder of the FutureOfLife institute and author of the book Life 3.0, which I found to be the most thought-provoking book on the topic of machine intelligence. In the article via the link, you may see interesting scenarios on how humanity can evolve and convert into Egalitarian Utopia, or Libertarian Utopia. In both cases, humans will co-exist with super-intelligent machines. Mark’s thoughts and conclusions can take you on the totally new path of rethinking the meaning of life.

2. WEF organization released the results of another study of automation implications. According to this research of 300 largest global companies, which represent 70 percents of world GDP, jobs created be AI related technologies will amount to 133 million, while jobs replaced will amount to 85 million. The interesting aspect is that experts of WEF predict that consumer industries, information technology and mining will suffer largest losses, while professional services will have much less impact. https://goo.gl/WvLJHH
3. Intel is preparing another revolution in computational power by launching their nueromorphic chip into commercial usage. This chip is multiple times more powerful than our conventional computer, which allows bringing the power of AI technology to your smartphone and great and scary things can happen with you, such as your smartphone being able to predict your mood and if you need to change the location, or remind you about your next assignment and many more.

4. Continue the topic of neuromorphic chips this article about Qualcomm released their samples back in 2013. The amazing fact about this technology as it mimics an electrical activity of the human brain. Such an approach provides an ability to compute 1000 times faster and better and step out of the world of binary computation. This is truly a revolution and it has already happened.

5. Open letter on autonomous weapons. Many of you heard that autonomous weapons are one of the greatest danger of our times. This technology is becoming our reality pretty quickly. AI researches over the world decided to unite their efforts and sign an open letter to governments and world institutions to ban autonomous weapons on the global scale. This letter is worth reviewing. Future of Life institute team consists of the most respectful AI researches and scientists. The goal of this organization is to protect humanity from the dangers of advanced technology.

6. The second meeting of Computers Gone Wild: Impact and Implications of Developments in Artificial Intelligence on Society took place at Harvard Law School in the beginning of 2016. Representatives of Future of Life Institute were concerned about results of flash crashes and impact of AI on the labour market. Despite the fact that this material is 2 years old, it worth to review it to re-educate yourself on a consequence of the inappropriate application of AI. Interesting conclusions on education. Most of the experts fear that technology can increase unnecessary competition for quality education and as a result can damage the labour market.
