RE: Will Robots Rule the World? A Simple Introduction to Singularity Vol 1.
There was an excellent interview with Jack Ma from Alibaba discussing some of the perceived bi-products of Singularity. He argues that in the future we will need to completely re-evaluate our education system because the human intelligence could never compete with AI and therefore we will need to focus more on the emotional and communal aspects of our society. This also rings true for the labor market. Millions of jobs will become obsolete, and our societies must understand how to absorb and provide for people whose skill-sets are no longer needed. One proposal that I believe is a Universal Basic Income.
Since it is probable that we will see the introduction and expansion of AI within the next decade, it's very important that we understand the impact it will have on our societies and prepare accordingly. It is probably the most important debate of our lifetime.
Thank you for dropping by and for your excellent input.
I totally agree with re-evaluation our education system and yes, we need to be able to understand the impact of these changes happening as we speak .
I find all this fascinating and plan to do more research about it.
We have been looking to get involved more in this space as well. There are some friends here in the startup scene in Berlin who are members of a "Club" (here it's called a e.V.) that brings together members of different sectors to try and find a more sustainable path to business and social progression given all of the changes that are coming. It's a good time to get involved.
