Food for Thought: Beyond AlphaGo, The Age of AI




This week's Food for Thought is about AI. I have no idea what the truth is, or, what the future holds, but believe strongly that we all need to be aware of what people are saying and the questions they are asking about AI. The link that I am sharing is to a PBS Frontline news report called, In The Age of AI.  The documentary is balanced and is certainly not anti-AI. It interviews and collects views from many reporters, researchers, academics as well as ordinary workers.

"FRONTLINE investigates the promise and perils of artificial intelligence, from fears about work and privacy to the rivalry between the U.S. and China. The documentary traces a new industrial revolution that will reshape and disrupt our lives, our jobs, and our world, and allow the emergence of the surveillance society."

It is a long documentary, but please do not be put off, the information is what all citizens need to be aware of as we enter the future.

There are so many interesting pieces of information that will make you think about our lives in the future and suggestions about how society could respond.
