Hot topics that will help to make an interesting conversation

in #life6 years ago

Unmanned vehicles, artificial intelligence, editing of genes - these concepts leave many unresolved issues. Think, how would you answer them yourself, and then ask your friends.

1. If you could load your brain into a computer, would you do it?

Imagine that in the future it will be possible to load the brain into the computer, creating a complete digital copy of your consciousness. Only this new version is smarter than you, and over time, it starts to accumulate impressions, which you have never experienced real. Would you decide to do this? Why? Will this digital copy still be considered by you? Are you responsible for the decisions your copy makes? Should we have the right to establish relations with someone's digital copy?

2. Should parents be able to edit the genes of their child?

If your child had a congenital heart disease, and to save him, you would have to remove a certain gene, what would you do? Most parents would most likely agree.

And what if you can make a child smarter? More beautiful? Should parents have the right to choose the sexual orientation of the child or his skin color? What if this were only available to the rich? What if all the other parents decided to "edit" their children, and you did not?

3. Should an unmanned car kill a passenger in order to save five pedestrians?

Imagine: you drive an unmanned vehicle on a two-way road, when suddenly five children run out onto the roadway. The car has three options: crash into children, crash into a car on the oncoming lane or crash into a tree on the roadside. In the first case, five people may die, the second - two, in the third - one. How to program the machine for such a case? Should she try to save the passenger or save as many lives as possible?

Are you ready to get into a car that can decide to kill you? Would you go with your child? Should all drones work under the same rules or will it be possible to pay extra for the car, which first of all saves the passenger?

4. What moral values ​​should we put into AI?

Imagine a world with intelligent robots - machines many times superior to humans - that do not distinguish good from evil, justice from injustice. A lot of problems will arise. But to lay moral values ​​in them is even more problematic, because we, people, should choose these values.

Which values ​​should I prefer? Who should decide which views are the most "right"? Should each country agree to a certain set of values? And is it possible to give the robot the ability to change one's opinion?

Will robots change our lives in the future? Interesting discussion subject but It's a funny question to ask when they're changing our lives now in so many ways and they have been for years. we've casually accepted that machines can be trusted to do things for us.

Rapid advances in AI, computers and robotics have resulted in the increasing use of robots in science, medicine and many industries. The impact these robots have had on humanity have been both positive and negative.

Gene editing could be the hot subject of future. Already lot of news nowadays are coming out.

Yeah @marverick984 gene editing is interesting subject. It has also it's pros and cons. The most potent use of the new gene editing technique CRISPR is also the most controversial.
