Resistance is Futile: AI will take all your jobs – Joscha Bach
The title of this video is provocative - of course there is no guarantee that AI will take all our jobs, on the other hand the prospect of AI out-competing human labour in many areas is not just a fantasy, it's already here. We shouldn't be walking into the future blind - we ought to be strategizing for when (and if) AI does get a lot smarter & capable than it already is.
Discussion points:
- Implications of artificial intelligence on the job market
- Jobs in programming will be automated by AI
- Productivity & standards of living may not increase at the same rate
- Assessing the long term risk of superhuman AI
Joscha Bach, Ph.D. is an AI researcher who worked and published about cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems. He earned his Ph.D. in cognitive science from the University of Osnabrück, Germany, and has built computational models of motivated decision making, perception, categorization, and concept-formation. He is especially interested in the philosophy of AI and in the augmentation of the human mind.
Joscha has taught computer science, AI, and cognitive science at the Humboldt-University of Berlin and the Institute for Cognitive Science at Osnabrück. His book "Principles of Synthetic Intelligence" (Oxford University Press) is available on amazon now:
