Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Society – March 5, 2018

In my last blog post on this subject, I posed a bunch of questions:

All of which brings me to the whole point of this mad rant: how will artificial intelligence affect ordinary people? What will be its impact on our everyday lives from the social and ethical points of view? What will we think of ourselves when we can't tell the difference between a phone call with a machine and a phone call from Madge in North Sydney, Nova Scotia? Will we swoon over computer-generated art the way we rave about Matisse and Dégas? Will we hear the beauty and grandeur in computer-generated music the way we hear it in Beethoven? Even if it's every bit as good, will we have the human magnanimity to regard it that way? And what about how artificial intelligence will impact how we make a living??
