Are You Worried About Artificial Intelligence?

Are you worried about AI, artificial intelligence? There are signs of growing concern about what it could mean as this newest technology continues to grow and spread to many parts of our lives, at home, at work, in health care, in government and it seems everywhere.

We’ve all heard the stories about jobs that could be cut with people replaced by AI. Stories about the way AI is affecting the way some teachers do their lessons and some students doing their assignments, with an AI app doing it for them.

And there also have been some reports that say despite its ability to provide answers to problems and create and write things, AI also has the potential to make it even harder to know what is true.

One recent report says the “brains” who developed AI have warned about what they called “an imminent explosion of highly convincing and manipulative fake videos and stories”.

With it already hard to know at times what is true and what it is not on social media and Americans’ increasing lack of trust in many institutions, that is not good news.

As someone once said, where there is no truth, there is chaos.
