Personally I think AI will save humanity, Cortana proves this.

They won't because they're too greedy and stupid to care. These are the same kind of people who helped Epstein rape children. The kind of people who would get cancer from their own toxic industries but not care because of all their money.

Yeah but Xbox sucks so I dunno  but looks like a misinterpretation in that it shouldn’t be seen as a prophecy. 

At least Cortana exists far in the future without a data center and owned up to her mistakes before she died.

The world (or rather the human race) ended when humans discovered fire. It just takes a while for the species to die out and make place for the next species to give 'it' a go ;) Humans are never satisfied and behave like a virus rather than seeking balance and sustainability. Imo the human race doesn't deserve to survive but of course I do want my kids to survive. That's the paradox of humanity, humans only care for those around themselves / in their group, and only look at short term gains. It has worked as a survival strategy for thousands of years, but it can't make a stable civilization.

The world can end any day, super volcano, meteor can happen any time. We're just here wasting time in between geological events :p

Greed is an unstoppable force, just like stupidity and shortsightedness. All we can do is try to enjoy ourselves while rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Blowing up data centers will only speed up climate change... So join the fools and hope AI will save us from ourselves before you become too cynical like me :/

Doesn't KITT from knight rider prove AI ia good?

Depends if you were rooting for an arrogant self-righteous douche bag or for the struggling entrepreneurs he violently put down :p


But a serious question: What happens when a self driving AI car kills someone, accidental, glitch, who is held accountable. Will the whole 'fleet' be recalled to fix the AI system. Humans kill about 1.2 million people on the road yearly of which 300K DUI deaths yearly. At least AI doesn't get drunk.

However especially in the US, driving is synonymous with 'freedom'. Do people want to give driving and be fine being a passenger. What if an AI car colludes with a human operated car, who's at fault. What if an AI car kills a pedestrian or cyclist. Do we all need to start wearing safety transponders to survive with AI traffic. Can self operating cars be hacked, instead of one car driving into a crowd as terrorist act, imagine a mass car attack like the pager attack. Same with drone swarms. AI assisted attack on air traffic control, power grids, nuclear plants. 

AI isn't good or bad, the people that make/use AI are, as well as reckless, impatient, short sighted with the only goal to make money. 

No idea, but i think AI drivers will be better than most American drivers who play on their phones while changing lanes.

Yeah, self driving cars will save ten thousands of lives and prevent even more life changing injuries every year in the future. But it will also kill the job of taxi drivers so I guess people will say it's bad.

If an AI car kills a child running out between parked cars, impossible to avoid, people will ban AI cars... It can be made fool proof, sensors everywhere, parked cars stay actively monitoring and connected. But since when do humans every put safety over saving a few bucks.

But I see smart traffic lights are finally starting to be realized. SCATS and TIMMS

I hope it comes down to my town as well (I live 80km from London) as our traffic lights only make the daily construction gridlock much worse. So we had a human operator stand next to the control box trying to adjust the timings during rush hour lol.

Anyway good plan to optimize traffic flows with smart traffic signalling. Not sure if you need AI for that, the problem is mostly counting cars and not keeping people waiting for nothing, as well as checking if the destination lanes are not clogged to prevent gridlock. A simple rule based program with traffic cams to identify traffic can do it.

Ugh SCATS is based on Windows, good luck with that lol.
