Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in all its forms does and will increasingly impact society worldwide. The global robot
population is predicted to outnumber humans by 2048. However my recent
miserable attempts to navigate a ‘smart’ automated repayment system from a
railway company made me paraphrase the words of Gandhi. What do I think of
Artificial Intelligence? I think that it would be a good idea.
Fortunately, the same day a real, friendly human being managed to rescue
me from the voice recognition, Kafkaesque, income tax assessment telephonic
black hole that I had descended into.
As King Canute knew, you cannot obstruct irresistible forces and the Luddites
are not good role models, but should not AI be augmented intelligence, the
antidote to natural stupidity?
