What do you think is the future of AI?
I remember the first short story we examined in the English class at age 11. It was called, “Who Can Replace A Man?”
It’s a 1984, big brother, animal farm type story in which the automated farm machinery decide to rebel against the big central corporate computer that controls them. They set off on a journey through towns, hills and valleys, building confidence along the way.
As they near their destination they encounter a man, the only human mentioned in the story.
The man taps a few keys on their control panels, and they forget their quest and go back to what they’re good at – farming.
AI is a tool. Yes, it may cause big problems. But there’s always an ‘Off Switch’.
