Most people have some awareness of artificial intelligence (AI), perhaps from Hollywood movies or news articles about driverless cars. However, most people are not yet aware of the breadth of applications possible today, nor the stunning advances that have been made with AI in recent years. Already there are a growing number of important ethical and practical implications arising from these current and continuing advances in AI; yet the general public is not involved, nor the Church and even governments are scrambling to catch-up. This talk is part 1 of a 2-talk series on AI and will survey the current status of AI as well as near term advances. It will introduce and consider ethical questions such as:
- What are the impacts for jobs in civil society in next few years and decades?
- What are the right and wrong uses of AI technology? For example, should we use AI robots to keep the elderly “company”?
- What happens when video and audio can be created by AI so well that real video/audio is indistinguishable from generated?
- What are the risks from our current and likely future reliance on AI technology?
- What conversations should we be having to care for each other as AI ushers in a huge increase in the pace of change?
