ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
- Artificial intelligence is a poor name for it
- We are surrounded by machines that give us some form of intelligence
- We don't even notice AI anymore!
- Just because we have the technology to do a particular thing does not mean people want the thing to be able to do it for us
- AI is a field, not an outcome
- WE create the outcome
- There is a point where it goes too far
- At what point will we stop living life?
- Even online dating is AI
- Computers and other forms of AI are also addictive which is dangerous
- People live in virtual worlds all the time - they can not think very well on their own
- Artificial Intelligence can be a malicious thing
- AI can also stand for amplified intelligence
- That is what Kenneth and his work strive for
- He is trying to improve the human mind as opposed to squashing it
- Figuring out how to utilize all parts of the human mind
- That is what Kenneth and his work strive for
