Week 9: Benefits and Risks of AI - MKTG 348

Artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly. We have not spent very much time on the risks of AI. With every creation there is some sort of risk. It is important to research AI safety. There are two scenarios reachers are worries about.

1: AI become programmed to do something devastating.

2: AI is programmed to do something to benefit us, but instead develops a destructive method for achieving it's goal.

According to Max Tegmark, President of the Future of Life Institute, "Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, and many other big names in science and technology have recently expressed concern in the media and via open letters about the risks posed by AI, joined by many leading AI researchers."

Yes, it is cool to see all the advancements AI is making, but we must look at both sides. (Benefits and Risks). Anything is possible when it comes to the world of AI. It's time to do some serious research about the risks associated with AI. If people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk are concerned about it, maybe we should be too.
