Living in the Age of AI

     After watching the documentary about the future of artificial intelligence, I started to imagine if that was our present situation we were living in and my first thought was the lack of human interaction between people and how that would affect human's overall mental and physical health. The documentary makes a clear point that a lot of people will be losing their jobs in the future and will be replaced by AI, that to begin with will cause a lot of damage to these individuals health and their families. Another way AI can hurt people is that humans are lazy, and what that means is that people will find a way to make AI do everything for them to the point where the don't really do anything anymore. In the beginning of the documentary they show how computers have out smarted humans and are better at doing most things, what does this mean for human intelligence? What will humans do in the future that doesn't involve AI? Not much probably. More importantly people's safety, as we have seen throughout history counties where people are severely controlled tend to turn a blind eye on human rights, look at North Korea or China for example, the future of AI basically tells us that all humans will be controlled because everything will be monitored, this is a scary thought if the people in charge have an agenda, and what will happen to those who oppose this movement? They will have no privacy or sense of anonymity. 

    Overall I believe that AI is advancing and that will impact our society in a lot of good ways but there are also a lot of negative impacts that come with this advancement that need to be talked about and discussed before it's too late.
