Revelation 13:14-18
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescoreand six.
Although Bible does not explicitly mention artificial intelligence, I think in the end times AI would be a potential tool in the hands of the Beast.
Here’s a chart showing Tractica’s projection which doesn't include 2018 yet.
Robots will invade every aspect of our lives just like the movie "IRobot". You’ll see robots that can move with incredible speed with laser-like precision, complete reliability, total recall of information, and unflinching focus of attention, becoming our laborers, assistants and even advisors. Military, farming, industries, manufacturing, etc will use them more and more as they advance into every aspect of our lives. If you do not think it will happen think again, it will start out being economically the viable answer to have the edge and the spread necessary to make more money for companies.
Why? Because they are cheaper in the long run. Robots can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can work 2-3 shifts for every one worked by a human. You’d never have to close your business. They don’t take lunch breaks. No coffee or smoke breaks. No toilet breaks. No slacking off. No checking Facebook. They never get sick. And – provided you program them correctly to begin with – they don’t make mistakes. At least, none that you could attribute to "human error." You don’t have to pay them a salary. Or sick pay. Or maternity pay. Or holiday pay... or provide health care, stock options or other employee benefits. You don’t have to worry about the costs associated with staff turnover: training, hiring and legal fees. Robots can work in tight spaces. That means you can fit more of them in your factory. They can work in hot, cold, and dusty environments. They can also work in the dark. That means you can save a bunch on utility bills. On and on goes the list of benefits and cost savings while productive goes through the roof. Think about this... It costs between 75 cents to two dollars an hour to run a robot.
Most flight systems on a modern commercial jet are already computer controlled. But before too much longer, there won’t be any need for humans in the cockpit at all – as disconcerting as that sounds but we are already seeing that in the car productions. Robot pilots are safer – they basically eliminate the risks associated with human error. They’re cheaper – according to Citi, last year, the big four U.S. airlines spent a combined US$38 billion on salaries and benefits. That’s one-third of all airline labor costs that you could basically scrub out.
According to Jane's Defense, the world's militaries will spend US$82 billion in the next 10 years on an additional 63,000 military drones. The U.S. Department of Defense also wants to import robot tech to the battlefield. The DoD just created something called The Advanced Robotics Manufacturing Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It sucked in US $80 million in federal funding and an additional US $173 million in cash, personnel, equipment and facilities from the academic and private sectors.
British intelligence officer, John Bassett, claims:
‘At some point around 2025 or thereabouts, the U.S. Army will actually have more combat robots than it will have human soldiers.’
Russia has developed and trained a robot soldier called FEDOR (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research). There are some pretty scary clips on YouTube of FEDOR shooting guns from both of its hands. The Russian military swears: "FEDOR is NOT a terminator". Think of the movie "Terminator"
In the medical field, FDA has approved surgical robotic system and it has operated on more than 3 million patients worldwide. This thing is so advanced, a doctor in Europe can remotely pilot the da Vinci to remove kidney stones from a patient in Hong Kong. In some hospitals, robot porters like Aethon’s "TUG" already deliver medication and food. University of California’s San Francisco Medical Center has a robot-operated pharmacy which has dispensed 350,000 prescriptions to date, without making a single error.
It reminds me of the movie "Minority Report" where elimination is the answer for the undesirables. Medical AIs are capable right now to giving people early cancer warnings: An AI developed in Japan detected the early signs of colorectal cancer with 86% accuracy. This could make the cancer treatable for more people. Detecting Alzheimer's 10 YEARS before symptoms show up. A team of researchers from the University of Bari in Italy, have developed an AI that can spot tiny structural changes in the brain, up to a decade before Alzheimer’s symptoms appear. The possibilities are endless. Predicting heart attacks more accurately than doctors, in the UK, a team from the University of Nottingham has developed an AI that can predict heart attacks more accurately than doctors. The algorithm beat industry guidelines by 7.6%. Around 20 million people die from cardiovascular disease each year.
Are you getting the picture of how invasive the robots are into our lives, and I only mentioned a few key robot programs that are to illustrate the role that they will play in the near future and now. This scenario is always the case of "in the wrong hands" and George Soros comes to mind.
