Very true. As in any other industry that will be affected, it is the workers who work with AI that will thrive. As a creative writer and a general creative, I am excited about the AI tools that will help me create faster and that will reduce the amount of free work I do for clients. There is a great need for this AI discussion to be had in the education sector. The nature of work, even creative work, will drastically change.

Mildred Achoch.

While we are on the topic of AI, the Kenyan ghost writing industry is apparently a major casualty.

Goodmorning Ali,

Technology can never and will never take the place of Human Beings. As such continuous safeguards will need to be in place to guide its use. Conceptually, Artificial Intelligence is reliant on machine learning which itself depends on programmers (Human Beings). The fact that for a while artificial intelligence has been elitist affair has provided certain safeguards and pushed the burden of responsibility to big tech who have been the primary drivers. As the concept becomes 'normal' in an unregulated environment that is devoid of standards i shudder to think what is going to happen. Just imagine a driverless car that gets a malicious injection and decides to head to Mandera yet you were heading to Membley. Furthermore the car is electric and self charging and has been made in Mavoko, let me tell you @Ali Hussein you will have no one to sue but yourself. I saw GIZ launch an AI Policy last week, maybe someone can share some of the highlights in the Policy brief but yes, there is need for regulation of AI and i see nothing special about it since the advent of the microcomputer.

Best Regards

Good people

The scientist, known as the 'Godfather of AI', has quit Google where he used to work. 

He clarified in a tweet that he quit so that he can speak freely on the dangers of #AI without worrying about how that would impact Google.

Geoffrey Hinton, who alongside two other so-called “Godfathers of AI” won the 2018 Turing Award for their foundational work that led to the current boom in artificial intelligence, now says a part of him regrets his life’s work.

“The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that,” said Hinton to The New York Times. “But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that.”

😳🤔

What is the truth?
