[QUOTE="Michael, post: 73905161, member: 627"] I've been hearing about AI catastrophes since the Apple II days. Artificial intelligence has gotten consistently better at playing chess (and various games) and helping in research, but I think we're still a long way away from AI that's particularly threatening in the "terminator" sense. I do however worry about autonomous weapons systems that are based on AI. [URL="https://www.newsweek.com/artificial-intelligence-raspberry-pi-pilot-ai-475291"]An algorithm powered by this $35 computer just beat a human fighter pilot[/URL] That kind of stuff seems dangerous and it's become pretty sophisticated. Automation has been a fact of life in business for decades now. It's been both a blessing and a curse as it relates to jobs. It tends to replace low wage jobs faster than higher wage jobs, and it tends to replace repetitive and "heavy lifting" type jobs more than others. Overall I would say that society has adapted pretty well to automation, but I can foresee a day when most jobs are automated, and the ones that are not automated require a much greater level of education than an average person possesses. I'm not sure that automation is fully compatible with pure capitalism, but it's probably pretty compatible with a form of socialism. It could be that automation pushes us more toward socialism, but even that seems decades away. [/QUOTE]
