Artificial Intelligence/
Machine learning [sub field]/
Automation
Stealing jobs:
*algorithm software =tax accountants
*robocalls = human operators
there's more on the horizon
*autonomous cars = trucking industry
*Factory workers/Blue-collar
*Services in café/restaurants
Creative/innovative jobs stay:
simple, repetitive, described by a very
straightforward list of instructions
>< innovation, creativity, thinking outside the box
Prized for inventive ideas><productivity
self-driving/driverless/autonomous/
automated/robotic/unmanned
cars/vehicles/ automobile
Features:
*high-definition cameras/GPS/radar/laser sensors
Manufacturer: fore-front runners
*Mercedes Benz/Tesla/Google/Uber
Benefits:
*Human error: >90% car accidents
e.g. drive at 200km/h sneeze/blink for 3 sec
-> go 150m with closed eyes
*Auto-pilot on airplanes safer
*Faster with safe distance: bumper to bumper
-> tailgating is the thing of the past
*Energy efficiency
The real moral dilemmas:
*The Trolley Problem:
swerve left to an SUV or right to motorcycle
* Car centric culture: symbol of freedom:
we want control/ or sit behind the wheels
><take the backseat/ be a passenger/
*not retrain fast enough
*cheaper, better goods
more fulfilling, meaningful jobs
transition period
1. when automation enters your field of
work don't fight it you're not going
to win that war-> become the
machine Whisperer find a way to work
with the machines not against it
2. education is key.
learning from workbooks: productivity
project-based learning: creativity
3. prepare ourselves to let go of human
institutions [paying people for work
not make sense b/c robots do all the
labor] -> more than technology
 philosophy
AI
Hollywood has really run away with this
concept:
I need all of you to burn your birth certificates
right now because that is how the sentient AI
program Skynet is going to know when and where to
exactly send the t800 to eliminate you from the
timeline.
recently there have been a lot of people
talking about the potential dangers of
artificial intelligence in our future:
physicist Stephen Hawking, entrepreneur
Elon Musk, multi billionaire philanthropist
Bill Gates
I do understand them the unknown can be
daunting but it can also be amazing and
I say we move forward not with fear but
with wisdom with caution and together we
can boldly go wherever AI and the internet
of things may lead us.

The full flourishing of these technologies promises to
blur the distinction between self and world. Cryptocurrency
The entire world will have mind in it.
