The Future

Crystal balls are rare and rely on human imagination, but Artificial Intelligence is beginning to be superhuman outperforming us mortals in ways we cannot imagine and therein lies the dangers we are unprepared for.
We mortals run on a disguised enemy platform known as ego. This ego expertly allows us to believe we are cleverer than reality. This is the danger attached to AI. We will develop a technology from our current moral and intellectual status which for the most part is somewhat bankrupt. We developed new methods of mass destruction. How bankrupt does one have to be to spend the time and resources conjuring up self-destroying mechanisms? It only sounds good to those who will profit from it. The rest of us live in fear of it.

If you feel this is being overstated, please take the time to watch what IBM has developed called the True North chip... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ibm-creates-neural-network-chip-large-mouse-brain/

As regards the dangers threatening us at this moment and beyond, you are strongly urged to watch this TED talk that will scare you AWAKE!!! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrNs0M77Pd4 This really is a MUST WATCH video!!!

Have you heard of DARPA? Do you know what autonomous drones are?...

Don't get left behind like a live Zombie, listen to and watch this interview, it is very serious!!!... youtubeclip

Did you know that the Jason Scientists have been replaced? Oh Dear! this is really, really bad news, find out why by watching Annie Jacobson NOW!!!

Can you imagine being controlled, or manipulated by oxitocin? The love potion, or drug that makes you do anything for your new love. This is a new weapon being developed by DARPA. You have been warned!!

Drones

This little device is not a toy, it is the current world changer. These little things can deliver pizzas as well as explosive bombs. It can spy on you while you are driving or having a spurious smoke in the back yard. They can deliver medical devices to impossible places and detect dangerous gasses in a mine or tunnel or cave. But the AI does not stop here, these drones can look like butterflies or dragonflies see here for interesting videos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqq5tgday_w

Now imagine the reality of launching thousands of insect-size drones into crowded cities or stadiums each with a payload of deadly chemicals??? https://www.wired.com/2012/08/future-warfare/

Thankfully, we have experts in South Africa to help us with drones at the DRONE BOSS

Doves

What you see on these shelves are very small but super powerful satellite imaging devices that are in close orbit over the surface of our planet. It renders a most useful service to humanity, but like all wonderful "services" that were designed for our benefit, they can be militarised or even worse, used to spy on us twenty-four hours a day for many years to come. Which means you better not tell your wife you are going to the office when in fact you are going golfing, or worse.

Self-driving Cars

Look around, you may see one soon. Here is how Google's car works... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsaES--OTzM

This is not a small issue since there are huge advantages such as no need to park, the car drops you off and it goes on to do other things, like take your kids to school or soccer practice. It can be hired out via Uber, as well as be hailed after an intoxicating party. see this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp9KBrH8H04

Here is a very alarming look into the future of transport... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/self-driving-cars-will-change-transportation-forever/

Robot Accountants

Remember, we are talking about deep learning, Neural Network chips (TPU), not a normal CPU or GPU, these chips are extremely different and capable, so the accountant today could well become obsolete due to really smart AI. (See the NN chips here... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ibm-creates-neural-network-chip-large-mouse-brain/ )

See what this article has to say about it... https://www.sageone.co.za/2017/03/16/artificial-intelligence-threat-accountants/

Or this article from wired.com... https://www.wired.com/2017/02/robots-will-soon-taxes-bye-bye-accounting-jobs/

Robot Teacher

We already have the introduction of Smart Classrooms, in which children are taught to their own individual strengths and no longer use the outdated methods of one teacher to thirty kids. AI is assessing the child in real time and sets lessons for the child based on the pace and intellect of the child. This is where we are going to raise children to be the most they can be.
