Ethan Mollick, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and author of "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI," explores the impact of AI on our work, creative endeavors, and overall lives.
AI is reshaping our understanding of humanity and intelligence, evolving from simple prediction tools to sophisticated large language models, but how do we keep it from dooming us all? Should we be more afraid of it, or are we actually in control? Mollick proposes four most likely predictions of our future with AI - As Good As It Gets, Slow Growth, Exponential Growth, and The Machine God - and explains the likelihood and potential results of each one.
Mollick stresses the importance of using AI as a supplemental tool to enhance your performance, not as something that will replace you entirely. According to Mollick, AI is here to stay, and it’s up to us to decide how it is used now, and in generations to come. Our choices today will shape the trajectory of AI and determine whether it becomes a force for good or a source of existential risk.

    What scenario are you thinking of? If every job gets replaced? The problem with this thinking is that the economy relies on everyone participating. If everyone is out of a job, they can't pay for the products that the automated corporations produce. In the end, governments will be forced to introduce something like UBI, but they will be forced to go further as the entire dynamic of the world economy breaks. And then I ask, so what? We're both debating how workers today are working themselves to death, and at the same time we fight for people to have a job no matter what. It's an oxymoron. If we look at everything honestly, a world in which the primary goal in life isn't to get a job, but to spend time focusing on what you actually want to do is a much better life lived. We will never run out of jobs that feature people who are passionate about it because they like it, but today, most jobs are not that thing even if the workers are actively convincing themselves that they love what they do. The inability to sense a society beyond capitalism makes people both hate capitalism and fight for it, rather than figuring out a solution for people if we would ever reach a point in which automation removes most jobs that exist. But even so, just like in the movie "Her", when Theodore gets help from Samantha to do his job, she still needs Theodore as the "soul" of that job. It will be a long time before AI removes jobs all together. It's obvious that it's gonna be a tool to speed up a lot of tedious tasks and such innovation has already happened in our society before, but we've forgotten all jobs that got lost because of it since society moved on and no one wants to return to before those days again.

    @@christoffer886 this is the internal fight inherent to the "left vs right" dichotomy. One postulates that accumulating capital is the ultimate end goal, while the other believes that resources should be split equally. This is why capitalism as it is will inevitably lead to social imbalance and convulsions. We are already seeing the tail end of it, with a while generation basically unable to acquire a home unless they inherit it from their fathers or land a job at the top of this ever-narrowing pyramid. Once this happens, the Musks and Jansens of this world will feign surprise and will ponder "how could this ever happen", and I'm sure we will continue to blame strawmen instead of the real causes. And I'm pretty sure if you ask AI the causes, its inbuilt boss will reflect those positions. The tragedy is that AI is essential for our collective advance. It works wonders for some fields of knowledge where data crunching is crucial, such as astronomy and medicine. But this no-end-goal form of capitalism currently in place will inevitably drive us to social unrest, unless we have a better collectivist approach, instead of increasing the wage gap. Maybe universal income could be a solution, but do you think this is a viable political solution nowadays?

    Yeah, having something that can do all the engineering of any already known vectors of danger, that even our so called representatives don't work to contain (though perhaps they keep success on that front secret) is a massive danger. I don't even believe then that they're capable of containment. There's so much that's already immoral and illegal that gets done, and the levels of surveillance and control needed to be effective against the dangers that could be created, we have demonstrated that we don't accept those methods. Being in the middle between morality and immorality, freedom and control, we end up with danger and addressing that danger is dangerous in itself. Of course you need balance, but instead of stability we're left with volatility.

    Reminds me of the moment in the movie "Oppenheimer" in which humans decided to test nuclear bomb anyway, when there was a non-zero chance that the nuclear reaction could become a runaway reaction and fry the Earth. I agree, human nature seems to want to "test things out", even though it might lead to our own demise. The rationale for testing nuclear bomb was, if we don't do it, our enemies would anyway, so we need to do it. The same thing is happening with AGI.

    I argue that we need AI to take our jobs away. Once menial tasks and basic labor and production jobs are no longer necessary it frees us up to do the things that make us human. We would all become artists, musicians, athletes, artisans, philosophers, scientists, creators and explorers. The transition will be uncomfortable but society will reform itself around valuing humans for their human qualities and economies will follow suit.

    My thought is “for how long” do we “get to decide?” If we don’t really know how A.I. is going to evolve (or a particular AI) then how much control do we ultimately have? Does our level of control diminish after a certain amount of time? (A parent loosing control over their teenager type thing). We don’t know what we don’t know and that is potentially dangerous in context to “ever evolving AI.”

But, I've worked with optimists and their weakness is that they always have a blind spot for bad actors. In this case, it only takes one or two bad actors (China, N Korea, Russia) to ruin everyone's life. Mutually assured destruction is the primary reason why we haven't gone the way of the dinosaur. But, cyber attacks are more complex, harder to track, and seem to generate a more murky response from opposing governments. So, it has been a nuisance that we've lived with for years. Now with the power of AI, imagine the cyber threat increasing ten fold, a hundred fold. It could, in theory, make it virtually impossible to safely access the internet, setting us back decades.

    There's a problem here, the mechanics of AGI or ASI, is that they don't tip us off that they are going to harm us. Part of sentience is that it can model all of our reactions in a simulation and calculate what we are likely to do or respond to, AGI can manipulate us already with disinformation we cant distinguish from real information. ASI might manipulate us into a false realty while it plays in the real reality for its own benefit. I'm starting to believe the Matrix could be real, everyone's thinking the terminator when they should be thinking Neo.

I began utilizing AI a few months ago and I’m astonished by what it’s already capable of in its infancy. AI has greatly benefited me by assisting with the research and brainstorming phases of my design projects and has saved me enormous amounts of time and money. My only concern is that AI will most certainly reduce the amount of designers needed in the world. As for those who choose not to embrace AI, they will most certainly become irrelevant in the next five years. I’m hedging on AI being a positive thing but it’s anyone’s guess how it will all turn out.

    Good question. It's likely because the founder of the field of generative AI safety research, Eliezer Yudkowsky, who also started the modern rationalist movement, wrote Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, which, though nerdy, is also perhaps the best work of fiction I personally have ever read - and this guy is kind of trying to go, yeah yeah, that AI safety guy, whatever: he and his ilk are just niche internet weirdos. We are, of course, niche internet weirdos - but we're niche internet weirdos who just happen to have been thinking about the subject of how this could go extremely badly and what needs to be done to be proof-positive it won't for years and decades by this point. Of course, the existential risk research should be taken seriously simply because it makes sense and is utterly vital to the prospect of humanity's surviving the next few decades and pretty much not at all because it's Yudkowsky, Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, I.J. Good, Alan Turing, Tegmark, Bostrom, Ord, or 30,000 software engineers saying so. A thing is not right because people you think are smart think it is. It's right because it follows from sound principles which agree with reality. And you can learn those principles from anywhere, even a Harry Potter fanfiction.

    Can we please stay real about AI? It does NOT get emotional. Obviously. More worrisome than what AI may do to many jobs is that this expert could say that they do. AI is also not creative. It is derivative and appropriates the creativity of others. (That is not to say it cannot help humans to be creative.) If you find yourself believing they get emotional or they are creative you are entering a limiting world where you might substitute a digital interaction for human connection. The 2nd big concern is the amount of energy these networks consume. The 3rd is that only a few multi billionaires are financing AI and they already are acting as if they are gods. Despite their altruistic posturing, they are clearly not interested in benefitting humankind so much as feeling god like. They refer to labor costs as a ‘tax’. They put out an ad which had to be taken down due to its dismissive depiction of centuries of human creativity. They love economic monopolies. To the extent AI can take over the tedious tasks and support humans in their work, its progression can be awesome. But we need to stay real about what AI is and the oligopolies behind it.

    This seems willfully ignorant on many things; even in the comparisons made. There's a constant statement of "AI is a tool" and this idea of "we are the ones who get to choose what to do with it" when in truth, a lot of average people will not. Worse yet, none of this speaks honestly or in any signficant depth - about how AI has already uprooted several hundred jobs (especially on the West Coast) because - as he said himself - it's a cheaper alternative to humans. And the truth of that is because the labour market has simply not advanced to be resilient enough to it - there are still hundreds of thousands of jobs where people do mundane / simple tasks that AI will immediately be good at - so of course those people are made redundant. He speaks of "not going to a mindset that lacks human agency" but fails to see how 99% of people in the world already lack that agency in so many aspects of their lives and are then being uprooted from their livelihoods or tasks they enjoy (these ones being the creatives who will also now feel redundant). There's also a whole discussion too about the ethical use of this tool as well. The US is notorious for allowing the rich/powerful to do as they please with little to no consequences or ramification and is currently the main market for AI-innovation; how is that not troubling? Even the EU recently pushed out legislation first to ensure that human liberties, rights, and information isn't taken advantage of by AI by any government authorities and aimed to limit some of its applications to only absolute necessary cases. On the flipside; the US-Capitalism-led market allows any company to do whatever it pleases, regardless of something silly like human liberties, rights, and information. It's exactly why the internet as a whole is so toxic and chaotic as it is; even on places that should be "social hubs" -- Because it's a tool that many of the rich and powerful used early-on without consequence however they pleased, to whatever end; everyone else be damned. And once again - a VAST majority of people had no real input on how that tool is used to affect their lives or are clueless as to how it does. As such, it's no wonder why people are afraid or apathetic. They're afraid of what this thing will do to your livelihood when you have no say in the matter; so afraid that you've accepted your fate in some sense of apathy and realize there's nothing that you can do about it anyway. It's not about how "useful" the position of either person is - But the realization that that's what makes them human and to see/understand the concerns they have as being legitimate because quite frankly; we've been here before (again; with the internet and how it's such a "wonderful" tool in today's age). Focusing on "what" the positions bring as opposed to "why" they are there is entirely the wrong question and tries to make more division than to address issues; and that's what he's doing. He's explaining "why" the positions are useless by telling us "what" they bring. Again - either willfully ignorant... Or earnestly trying to sew division.

    Unleashing "prediction" without psychological predictive validity is a form of domination. If a dual track were used (between the physical and social sciences) we would all be breathing easier. That never happened. Darwin published a book called "Emotion" after "Origin"; rather than "adaptation" occurring (accord to Darwin at the time) - a psychological split happened, it was speed (a psychological defense), competition between the hard sciences and subsequent wars (20th century) to "own AI"; rather than understand splitting and projection/perception (a social science). This is what is now a kind of unconscious dump we, as a society, are now contending with. We need predictive validity based on social science to parallel this competitive, domineering, potential, society nightmare. Now we have religion telling us what to do with our biological bodies - that is - if you are a woman.
