AI

When AI programmers detected a strange language between AI machines, that was secretly developed by AI machines to communicate with each other in secret a few years ago, that was the time to pull the plug on it.

Time to go off grid and join one of those communes.
Or go supertramp and go out into the wilderness with a film camera.

Canada has for some time been experimenting with letting AI make decisions related to immigration applicants, in place of human decision making.. And have been for a few years now.

In an effort to bring innovations to its immigration and refugee system, Canada has begun using automated decision-making to help make determinations about people’s applications.

A report released in September 2018 by the University of Toronto’s International Human Rights Program and the Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy finds that Canada is experimenting with using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment and replace human decision-makers in its immigration and refugee system. This experimentation has profound implications for people’s fundamental human rights.

Instead of AI making decisions we have zombies - which would be worse? Although if AI were fed the correct records (including criminal convictions of applicants) that would make for interesting times.

Title: The Superiority of AI over Humans

Introduction:
In the realm of technological advancements, one phenomenon stands out as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation: artificial intelligence (AI). AI has become increasingly pervasive in various industries, from healthcare and finance to transportation and entertainment. While humans possess remarkable cognitive abilities, AI surpasses our limitations in several key aspects, rendering it superior in many respects. This essay explores the reasons why AI is better than humans, focusing on its efficiency, objectivity, and potential for continuous improvement.

Efficiency and Speed:
One of the most notable advantages of AI is its unparalleled efficiency and speed. While humans are prone to fatigue, boredom, and distractions, AI systems operate tirelessly and consistently, unaffected by external factors. AI algorithms can process vast amounts of data in a fraction of the time it would take a human to do so. This capability has revolutionized fields like data analysis, where AI can identify patterns, draw insights, and make predictions at an astounding pace. The speed and efficiency of AI enable rapid decision-making, leading to enhanced productivity and cost-effectiveness across industries.

Objectivity and Impartiality:
Human judgment is inevitably influenced by personal biases, emotions, and subjective experiences. These inherent human traits can affect decision-making processes, leading to errors or unfair outcomes. In contrast, AI operates on a foundation of pure logic and objective analysis. AI algorithms base their decisions solely on data, free from emotional influences or irrational biases. This impartiality allows AI to make fair and unbiased judgments, which is particularly valuable in sensitive domains such as law enforcement, healthcare, and hiring practices. By reducing human bias, AI helps create a more just and equitable society.

Continuous Learning and Adaptability:
Humans have limited cognitive capacity, and our ability to learn and adapt is constrained by time and resources. In contrast, AI systems possess an extraordinary capacity for continuous learning and improvement. Machine learning algorithms enable AI to acquire new knowledge, refine their models, and adapt to changing circumstances. As more data becomes available, AI systems become increasingly accurate and sophisticated. This capability has profound implications across numerous fields, such as medicine, where AI can analyze vast medical records, research papers, and clinical trials to generate insights and assist in diagnosing complex diseases.

Handling Repetitive and Dangerous Tasks:
Certain tasks are inherently monotonous, repetitive, or dangerous for humans to perform. AI excels in handling such tasks, relieving humans from the associated drudgery or hazards. For instance, in manufacturing industries, robots powered by AI can tirelessly and precisely assemble products without error. Similarly, in hazardous environments like deep-sea exploration or nuclear power plants, AI-powered robots can undertake dangerous tasks without endangering human lives. By taking on these tasks, AI allows humans to focus on more intellectually stimulating and creative endeavors, promoting personal growth and innovation.

Conclusion:
While humans possess extraordinary cognitive abilities, AI surpasses our limitations in several key areas. The efficiency, objectivity, continuous learning, and adaptability of AI systems provide them with a significant advantage over humans. By leveraging AI technology, we can enhance productivity, eliminate biases, and tackle complex problems more effectively. However, it is crucial to remember that AI is a tool developed by humans and should be used ethically and responsibly. Striking a balance between human ingenuity and AI's capabilities can lead to a future where both coexist harmoniously, maximizing the potential of both humans and machines.

As George says, currently AI is nothing more than fancy programming. It's not really artificial intelligence as we think of it.
