Here is an all-out apologist for turning loose AI and ChatGPT-like programs on the world. He recognizes that there will be huge societal repercussions but in the same breath says, “I don’t know how (to) solve all the social issues.” This Pollyanna-ish view of reality is typical of the purely Technocrat mindset: “Dam the torpedoes and full speed ahead.” ⁃ TN Editor
Artificial intelligence could replace 80 percent of human jobs in the coming years — but that’s a good thing, says US-Brazilian researcher Ben Goertzel, a leading AI guru.
Mathematician, cognitive scientist and famed robot-creator Goertzel, 56, is founder and chief executive of SingularityNET, a research group he launched to create “Artificial General Intelligence,” or AGI — artificial intelligence with human cognitive abilities.
