Part 2/8:
To fully grasp the implications of AI, parallels have been drawn to the early days of the internet. Similar to the speculation of the 1990s about what the internet might become, we now stand on the edge of understanding the true potential of AI. The consensus is that while we cannot predict the future with certainty, some trajectories can be projected. One of the optimistic views paints a picture where AI serves humanity, leading to enhanced productivity, increased leisure time, and a more abundant lifestyle.
Conversely, there exists a darker outlook where AI could render us obsolete, taking over tasks traditionally held by humans and presenting existential threats along the way. The looming question becomes how we balance these possibilities to foster a future that benefits everyone.
