Grandlord:
With the rapid development of AI, I think an automated society as seen in SciFis like Star Wars, is undoubtedly, not far away. We'd see machines continue to take over jobs( programming included) done by humans as it is happening today.

What raises concerns though, is whether we'd end up building an uncontrollable intelligence that totally surpasses ours and in extension, the consequences such possibility might have on our existence as a specie.

Fingers crossed

The "Programming included" part, got me.

Grandlord:
No kidding. I give you an example . Just about ten years ago, building websites from scratch was the norm and was really a big thing done only by professionals. Today, we have various CMSs that make building from scratch a waste of time and therefore, semi-obsolete.An average Joe can build a website in a few hours nowadays.

In the near future, an AI might take over coding and do it much faster and better than humans. Big investors wouldn't see the need to employ programmers as they'd have a better alternative in AI. The rest is history.

Doctors, Drivers, Pilots, and even Nairaland mods are not spared too( seriously we have bot moderators on Reddit).

How will Ai take over agriculture?

Karleb:


No matter how intelligent a machine or software is, it can never takeover the work of humans, at least not completely.

The same was said of paper being eradicated at the advent of computer, but look around you, paper doesn't seem to be going into extinct anytime soon.

Agreed, AI will make some people jobless and of course some jobs will go into extinction but trust me, competent individuals will definitely get their jobs till thy kingdom come.

Hello guys, It's 2 AM in the morning. I created this thread so that we all could rub minds on our opinion about AI

We all know AI is the future, sure, that's where the world is heading to at the moment, it is leading in the 4th industrial revolution

I don't need to mention the applications of AI, which are innumerable, we see it everywhere with Google, Facebook and the U.S tech giants at the front-line of Companies that make use of this new technology.


Famous Physicist Stephen Hawking once said the emergence of artificial intelligence could be the “worst event in the history of our civilization.”

Now let me ask my first question

Do you think AI will be the greatest mankind will ever make, and what are your other thoughts about AI??

please drop your wonderful opinions let's argue small

peterdrury:
How can AI knowledge be acquired? Is there a school or institution? Excluding google

Cacawa2:




OP nice post there.

Peterdrury have you heard of RAIN?

AI will kill you and never get arrested. Even when arrested nothing go still happen. But I'm full fledged AI buddy. I think if some of us here come together and rub mind, we could improve AI in this country by building stuffs. We could start from whatsapp group and create a github repo for sharing code.

In Africa we keep observing and not participating. If you look today most great countries has plans for AI research, and in African no plan. There are lot of problems in Africa that need to be solved. Using AI to solve those problems will be great. For example using AI for election, for farming, controlling traffic, in healthcare,security e.t.c. those Good in the field should work on something.

It will require both hardware and software. First we have to create a database for all the voters. The hardware will be an AI system, the function of the system is read data of card, validate voters using facial recognition and fingerprint for voting. There are other processes, but Let me stop here.
How would you use AI for election?
