The best scenario
In the utopian world of the future day begins with a virtual assistant, opening the blinds. He will tell you about the weather and the latest news. Then you sit down at the table, where you will find a plate of fresh fruit, collected by robots. After breakfast you approach to the wardrobe and put on the clothes matched the weather.
At the bottom will be waiting for the machine with the autopilot, which brings you to a football match for his son. You no longer need to go to work. Now you can dedicate his life cases that previously lacked time.
After the game, you are lucky child in a cafe and talked about how was his day. At night, while the robot-assistant puts son to bed, you with a glass of wine dorisovyvat picture, which was abandoned many years ago.
In fact, such technologies require us to always be alert, otherwise we risk losing control over their work, freedom and relationships.
If we otnesomsya it seriously, fantastic version of our future will be far from the truth. In the field of AI achieved great successes that can make our lives easier. The question is not about whether artificial intelligence will improve our lives and in the way he does.
More free time
AI can take small routine duties themselves. Watson Assistant from IBM - a perfect example. Until he answers questions from customers, employees focus on more important things. And this is only the beginning.
Companies are adopting new technology, which can identify the strengths and weaknesses of employees and then assign responsibilities based on their qualities.
Artificial intelligence can help not only in the office, but also outside of work. For example, you no longer have to spend a day off on a shopping trip, because he faithful assistant will order the products at home. You do not need to sit behind the wheel and get nervous, because you can do something else while traveling home.
Freeing up time for more important things, you will reduce the strain and stress levels and, consequently, raise the level of happiness.
Of course, this coin has a reverse side. What will you do with your free time? At work, you can concentrate on complex tasks, but out of the office free time does not guarantee happiness.
I am sure that more time view series It does not make your life better. In the unmanned machine will attack us advertising, we will become lazy and complacent. Remember what happened to the people in "WALL-E." Whether people can use your free time to good use?
Freedom from work
AI potential really huge. He can solve basic problems such as world hunger and the constant wars. Robots could plant, irrigate and collect food, and farmers, using the knowledge and the power of artificial intelligence, brought to higher quality culture.
What would you say if after 20 years of AI will run for president? Robots could prolong our lives, identifying cancer at an early stage, or to use genetic engineering to cure us of all diseases.
In this lies the main problem. AI is not just gives you more free time, he completely replace us. People have always been the fear of technologies that can take away their jobs. The Industrial Revolution has deprived many workers wages, and journalists in the Internet era have given way to bloggers.
However, people quickly get used to everything new. Our nature has the ability to adapt. The same will happen with the development of artificial intelligence.
Some argue that AI will help to create more jobs and even become a new step in human evolution.
If we can solve the problem of money, we rethink our attitude to work. Let the machine take our place - it's not the end of the world, we simply adjust to the situation. In addition, if the robots will create things for us, the value of craft products and the demand for them will increase. Handmade things even now valued much more.
utopian future
Imagine that we all have: we no longer need a work life improved, everyone is happy. What we doing? How will we communicate with each other? How to prevent an uprising of robots? We should always think about the distant future, and not just the short term.
We do not know what it will be, and especially do not know how to make all the people happy. The only thing we can do - keep asking questions and try to answer them.
