Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mpourayan My sister happens to think that AI is the biggest threat since the nuclear bomb. And she is quite intelligent. You're correct. Without a discussion, nothing will be done about it, whether the threat exists or not. AT&T makes AI seem so benign, but isn't that the same company that created the robot that won on Jeopardy?

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
@afwriter I know. Terminator is a terrific example of what can go awry when computers start learning about AI themselves. But it's just a movie. May I point to my favorite SciFi flick? Soylent Green. There's an example of paranoia to the max. Although I have to say, people seem to be disappearing in my community lately.

Y2K forced all to be read--that's why we survived it. By not having the debate now, we are kidding ourselves by thinking that somehow everything is going to be OK. We owe it to the future.

Re: Goal for AI is Automation
Taking out the human element altogether seems like a recipe for disaster. Imagine the episode of I love Lucy with the Chocolates on the conveyor belt only without a human to know something is going wrong.

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
@Srufolo1, You're probably right, but I have seen way too many SciFi movies not to be cautious. On a side note, I have seen way too many shark movies to go in the ocean as well.

I know that it is a science fiction movie, but Facetime used to be science fiction. Terminator is a good example of what happens when computers start thinking for themselves. In real life, AI could make for some big problems long before they become androids.

AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
The way Gilbert puts it, AI is not there to destroy but to "help us humans do our jobs better." I think maybe we are overeacting to what AI is capable of. It's kind of they way we looked at Y2K before we entered the 2000s.

The challenge is to ensure that the industry is not "tone deaf" in its' quest to automate and discount the key "link" that makes it all possible--humans. It is still an open question--isn't it?

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mpouraryan I agree absolutely that debate is healthy. People should raise concerns so that the industry is sure to take them into consideration in their plans for advancement.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
I understand that @Ariella now--but the need to be vigiliant is paramount and this obsession with aotomation needs to be tempered. That's at the heart of the profound challenge we've got that I am glad is being debated as it is.
