People so often seem to worry that automaton is going to make their jobs unnecessary but, as your Lotus example shows, most often it allows people to do their jobs better by providing them more robust tools.

You definitely want to avoid the ocean in SoCal then! It seems the warming waters have been attracting more sharks - and they come pretty close to the shore!

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
I think buffalo were pushed to the brink of extinction by the introduction of commercial hunting/fire arms as well as the military targeting bison to provide more land for cattle and to reduce the Native American populations. (If I remember it right - prior to European settlers, indigenous people killed what they could use, so didn't create a threat of instinction)
They survived because some private citizens bought & protected some herds & the National Park system created a reserve as well.
(So that seems to be an example where humans were both the cause of (near) extinction and for saving the species from that extinction.
Often it's something as simple as humans destroying the natural habitats or part of a species food chain that causes extinction or threatens a species.

Re: Goal for AI is Automation
Agreed. Especially since the human element is used to develop those systems ... which just increases the likelihood of something going wrong.

Oh no! Hopefully she doesn't read too much about it - it's probably used for more products/services she uses than she realizes!

To again quote Jurassic Park, life finds a way. They find species all the
time that have been declared extinct but pop up sometimes a hundred years later.

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
This whole notion of extinction and de-extinction intrigues me. Humans are blamed for the extinction of many animals. Are we responsible for saving them then, such as all the effort being put into saving Pandas, or are these animals meant to become extinct? At one time they said Buffalo were extinct because of the Native Americans hunting them, but they still exist. How did they become de-extinct?

@afwriter Exactly! Really, the idea goes all the way back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Tampering with nature's own life forms always leads to disaster.

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
Thanks for the links, de-extinction, while incredibly intriguing, can't lead to anything good. Whether those animals were made to be extinct or not the world has gone on without them and reintroducing them could mess with the ecosystem. To quote Jurrassic Park and bring the topic back to AI, They were so busy wondering if they could they didn't stop to think if they should.
