According to a study by Statista, the global AI market is set to grow up to 54 percent every single year.

Three types of AI:

Weak AI - Focuses on one task and cannot perform beyond its limitations (common in our daily lives)
Strong AI - Can understand and learn any intellectual task that a human being can (researchers are striving to reach strong AI)
Super AI - Surpasses human intelligence and can perform any task better than a human (still a concept)

Advantage: human error can be eradicated from tedious tasks if AI is programmed properly

Safety in manufacturing facilities can be improved if AI automates tasks, however, this also means many workers (likely lower-middle class) will loose their jobs\

AI chatbots can become Digital assistants for people who have problems with their technology (results in job loss as well)

AI does not need time to rest meaning any job it is given it can do endlessly and without breaks(again another automation risk)

Unbiased in theory: theoretically AI does not have emotions or prejudices, therefore when it makes decisions it does not take any bias into consideration(only true with large sample size of programmers with good intentions), however, Automation bias can be programmed into AI which can be a serious problem depending on who is writing the algorithms

AI can perform dangerous tasks instead of humans

AI can help businesses recognize patterns in costumers wants/needs (partially risky since it promotes consumer culture)

AI does not have a set ethical basis, therefore if an AI has any social implications, it’s ethical groundrules are completely dependent on automation bias

Creating AI’s (especially Strong/Super AI’s) is extremely costly

Beneficial for Data analysis since it can recognize patterns faster and more efficient than humans, however the AI has no creativity, therefore it won’t be able to draw new conclusions

As per PwC’s report, the progressive advances in AI are going to increase the global GDP by up to 14% between now and 2030.

Analyze GDP growth

Self driving cars can completely eliminate car crashes

Organ donor paradox
Freedom argument since all cars must be self driving in order to eliminate risk of crash to 0
Who is at fault for an accident between two self driving cars? Is the company held liable? Is the individual programmer helf liable? What prevents programmers from intentionally causing crashes among certain individuals?

Wealth inequality has grown significantly in the United States over the past 50 years
- ◆ The Gini coefficient, which measures inequality in income distribution, has kept rising in the United States. According to the World Bank, the U.S. Gini coefficient has gone up from 0.353 in 1974 to 0.415 in 2019 exceeding the alarming level at 0.4 indicating a large income gap, however it fell back to .397 in 2020. During the same period, other developed countries have largely kept their Gini coefficient below 0.35, or even 0.3 in some cases. (verified through world bank)
Factors of economic inequality
- Prioritization of Marketalization and internationalization over equality
- Partison conflict in the United States have caused most policies (especially those involving taxation) to be temporary and reversible, as a result, an economic system has not been in place long enough to de-accelerate the income inequality gap.
- Union membership rate decreased from 23.8% to 10.3% in the past 54 years
- Not only did the Covid-19 pandemic damage the middle and lower classes detrimentally but it was also a great time for wealthier individuals to invest in the failing economy, allowing them to profit off the economy starting back up again

MisInformation may become overwhelming with development of biased AI

“Even when these systems aren’t deliberately being used to make misinformation, it can’t help themselves”

ChatGPT invented a sexual harrasment scandal about a proffessor, and wrote a fake washington post article to support its claim..

System does not see what the relationship is between two events, it only knows that they are related EX: Someone died in a Tesla crash in 2018, Elon musk is affiliated with tesla, Elon Musk died in a Tesla Crash.

Predicts statistical probability rather than promoting what actually happened

Artificial Intelligence can fool humans into believing that they are human

One AI can utilize another AI to override safety protocols on a mass scale

Solutions:

New technical approach: Symbolic Systems approach vs Neural Networks approach: The idea that AI should be series’s of logic and computing vs the idea that Ai should operate like the human brain.
Neural Networks is primarily used for chatbots, speech recognition and image synthesis
Symbolic Systems are more complicated to program and are better at reasoning however, are much more difficult to use at a larger scale. Neural Networks are easier to program and much broader for uses however they are far less accurate.
MIXTURE OF EMPHASIS ON REASONING AND EMPHASIS ON LEARNING FROM BOTH
It is possible to find the balance between the two since our brain operates the same way: System 1 is statistically driven intuition and Sytem 2 is reasoning and deliberation
There is no current incentive to find this balance however in our society, capitalism is currently the only driving force behind the development of AI
New Governence: an International Agency for AI that is nonprofit, global, and neutral; similar to agencies created from the concern of Nuclear weapons.

“It invented an allegation where I was on the faculty at a school where I have never taught, went on a trip that I never took, and reported an allegation that was never made” - John Turley

The allegation started when someone asked ChatGPT for “five examples” of “sexual harassment” by professors at American law schools along with “quotes from relevant newspaper articles.”

Chat GPT then quoted a fabricated Washington Post article

Many are calling for government intervention, however, President Biden claims it remains to be seen whether AI is dangerous

Has technology been overall beneficial or harmful for the majority of humans following the industrial revolution?

“The Party employs science and technology to curtail human freedom and privacy, and to control human behavior.” - George Orwell 1984

Privacy plays a fundamental role in freedom. When restrictions are are made on privacy, regaining freedoms becomes significantly harder.

“The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim – for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives – is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.”

Technological advancements such as the “telescreen” allows those in power (the party) to remain in power as well as force their will on those not in power.

There is a large potential for AI to contribute to global economic activity

Simulations are ran to predict the economic impact of Artificial intelligence in the upcoming years(2030)

Most believe that 70% of companies will have adopted one of the 5 types of Ais by 2030

Five types: computer vision, natural language, virtual assistants, robotic process automation, and advanced machine learning.

Less than half of all companies will have adopted and implemented all five fields of AI by 2030 (per simulations)

late adopters might find it difficult to generate impact from AI, because front-runners have already captured AI opportunities and late adopters lag in developing capabilities and attracting talent.

Makes it more difficult for smaller businesses to grow and compete
