Artificial Intelligence and our society


Artificial intelligence (AI), also called computational intelligence, is the intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, an ideal "intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent that perceives its environment and carries out actions that maximize its chances of success in some objective or task.1 Colloquially, the term artificial intelligence is applied when a The machine imitates the "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as: "learn" and "solve problems". 2 As machines become more and more capable, technology that was once thought to require intelligence is eliminated from definition. For example, optical character recognition is no longer perceived as an example of "artificial intelligence" having become a common technology.3 Technological advances still classified as artificial intelligence are systems capable of playing chess, GO and managing by itself same

Quote from wikipedia, translated to english.

Basically artificial intelligence is one of the most important and interesting inventions we have today. Applications, programs and different things are currently making use of this to improve our lives, some examples of its use are:

  • Personal assistants : Alexa, Amazon Echo, Siri, etc
  • Google Photos and Apple Photos
  • Data analysis and fraud control
  • Security
  • Route Optimization : Google Maps
  • Boxever : co-founded by CEO Dave O'Flanagan, is a company that relies heavily on machine learning to improve the customer experience in the travel industry and offer 'micromomentos' or experiences that delight customers along the way. It is through machine learning and the use of A.I. that the company has dominated the playing field, helping its clients find new ways to involve their clients in their travels.
  • Amazon.com: Using refined algorithms with each passing year, the company has become extremely intelligent in predicting what we are interested in buying based on our online behavior.

In the financial sector has very interesting applications but also present problems that in my opinion are very serious and should be taken into account:

Quote of BBVA

The problem is that it also poses a series of challenges. Indeed, artificial intelligence is not completely innocuous; in some cases it may generate new risks in financial markets or it may generate competition problems by following the practices of other competitors in an automated way, in violation of the elementary regulations of a well-functioning market. Therefore, we must begin to visualize in each of the uses of artificial intelligence what the limits are or how they should be addressed to ensure that consumer protection is maintained, the proper functioning of the markets while taking advantage of all those advantages that technology introduces.

In this sense it seems to me that it is the responsibility of us humans, the use we give to these technologies and these powerful tools for the benefit of having a better world. I trust all the developers who strive daily to do better things, to give us a better world.

But these security aspects must be taken into account, because there will always be other "parties" interested in using them for illegal things and the exploitation or exploitation of legally established technologies.

So I thought that there should be some global entity or organization responsible for supervising or creating a standard of control or regulation to prevent its misuse. Something like the ISO 9000 standards but that are responsible for reviewing everything that affects this matter. Maybe a coalition of the brightest minds on earth in this sector, involving people from different countries who create a regulation about it. I think that the use of open source in this sense is a good idea but as long as it is subject to regulations that avoid its abuse or misuse.

I imagine a society where, for example, when writing a post on steemit or wherever our blog is removed, analyze our contents and tell us which day of the week is best for us to publish, what type of article is most interesting to our audience, At what time should we publish it and what kind of comments or answers do you consider most valuable? Let us know which are our most valuable followers and educate us to know what kind of articles we need to publish. This would be of great utility and I think that with this type of publication, the interest in the developers' development will soon be awakened. I would like to do it if I had the knowledge for it, but I can only contribute ideas and my concerns about it.

We must aim for the future, strive to create new ways to improve your life, and make the societies where we live are more pleasant places to create, advance and progress. The AI is a powerful tool to help us achieve these goals and many more.

And what do you think about all this?

Hi @reinaldoverdu

You already know how much I love reading about AI. This is another great piece of work. Obviously upvoted.

I like the fact that you focused on writing about AI and our society. Funny thing is that most people have an image of Terminator whenever they think about AI.

Hardly anyone is actually aware that apps like UBER / Waze etc - it's also one of best examples of AI.

there will always be other "parties" interested in using them for illegal things and the exploitation or exploitation of legally established technologies.

Very true. Sad but true.

So I thought that there should be some global entity or organization responsible for supervising or creating a standard of control or regulation to prevent its misuse.

That sounds like very CENTRALIZED idea. I personally wouldn't mind as I don't think that our goverments are all evil and that everything must be decentralized. But on Steemit most people may not agree with you :)

Good read :)

Yours,
Piotr

Hello @crypto.piotr you are an amazing social media person, i have to say that i am very happy to meet you :)

Thanks for the compliment about my post. I always use short and concise content to help people who have little time to read and need accurate and reliable information.

People usually see the ai as demons, and in that I agree with you, it is very funny, but I have always thought that ignorance is daring, as my deceased mother used to say.

That sounds like very CENTRALIZED idea. I personally wouldn't mind as I don't think that our goverments are all evil and that everything must be decentralized. But on Steemit most people may not agree with you :)

Yes, I know that the idea that I am raising sounds very centralized, but what solution do you think they could use to avoid this type of problem - piracy or abuse for example? because for example in steemit we have @steemcleaners, @cheetah, @lince, @abusereports and others that are concerned with maintaining some control in the network, and that is what I mean, that there are entities or people dedicated to protect the ai , not in a centralized way -although that sounds like this- but in a civilized way, that can guarantee or provide more peace of mind to less experienced users or with standard skills.

What do you think about that?, and I apologize for extending myself so much, but this is a topic I like to talk about and exchange opinions with.

Im sorry @reinaldoverdu for lack of comments from me on this topic. Little bit overwhelmed with work hehe :)

Cheers, Piotr

AI technology can solve many problems and it has great possibility.....

in fact, I hope that we as a society improve and learn to use intelligently these powerful resources, for the benefit of all humanity.
