I know many conservatives do not care much for science, and I don't blame them, but science and technology are turning our world upside down, and there is the potential to destroy us. But, never under-estimate the extent of original sin, and the destructiveness of the globalist ruling elites. Consequently, even if here are vast elements of exaggeration, it is vital to examine what these elites say. A failed agenda could still cause untold misery.
Hence, Mo Gawdat, who once held the position of chief business officer for Google’s clandestine research-and-development arm X, sees the potential for AI to go the way of dystopic sci fi movies such as I, Robot, where the robots, under the direction of a central computer, turn on humanity. The central AI can “generate its own computer power and do installations itself through robotic arms.” “It does have the agency to create killing machines because humans are creating them so AI might use it to dictate an agenda like the movie ‘I, Robot’,” Gawdat said.
That is the worst-case scenario, but even before tht comes, if it comes, the disappearance of jobs, even coding, which advanced AI is catching up on, wil cause social chaos. Further, Gawdat sees something of an arms race developing, where both corporations and nations cannot call a halt to AI development out of fear that the other side will eclipse them. It is a big, unsolved problem, to say the least.

“A former executive at Google said that artificial intelligence-powered machines could one day view humans as “scum” and could create “killing machines” similar to the ones depicted in a sci-fi movie starring Will Smith.
Mo Gawdat, who held the position of chief business officer for Google’s clandestine research-and-development arm X, said that he is fearful of a future scenario in which AI decides it needs to destroy the human race, though that day is still “a bit far away.”
Gawdat said that the future could look like something from “I, Robot,” the 2004 film in which Smith battles a machine army that hatches a conspiracy to enslave the human race.
AI could create these terminators because it will be able to “generate its own computer power and do installations itself through robotic arms.”
“It does have the agency to create killing machines because humans are creating them so AI might use it to dictate an agenda like the movie ‘I, Robot’,” Gawdat told the Secret Leaders podcast.
Gawdat said AI could form a low opinion of humanity because the technology scours social media.
“The question would be probabilities — how likely is AI to think of us as scum today?” Gawdat asked before answering: “Very high.”
“We’re fake on social media, we’re rude, we’re angry, or we’re lying on social media,” he added.
Gawdat also insisted it is too late for humans to undo the advancements in AI because tech companies are too invested in it financially to turn back.
“Very prominent scientists and business leaders are saying, ‘Let’s halt the development of AI,'” he said
“But this will never happen, not because of tech issues but because of the business dilemma,” Gawdat continued.
“If Google is developing AI and fears Facebook will beat them they will not stop because they have absolute certainty that if they stop, someone else will not.”
“The US will not stop because they know China is developing AI.”
“We built a human system, not a tech system, that will prevent us from stopping.”
Tech mogul Elon Musk has warned that AI has “dangerous” potential that could threaten civilization if it went unchecked.
“AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production,” Musk told Fox News last month.
“In the sense that it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction,” Musk added.”
