The new president of the British Scientific Society warned that artificial intelligence is more of a concern than antibacterial resistance to antibiotics, climate change or even terrorism for Britain's future.
Professor Jim Al Khalili, a professor of physics at the University of Surrey in southern England and the elected president of the British Scientific Society, said the unprecedented advance in artificial intelligence was happening very quickly with no controls or adequate brakes.
Nutrient for unemployment
Professor Al-Khalili added that the threat of artificial intelligence to jobs and security has not been carefully evaluated, calling on the government to speed up controls.
Al-Khalili, who was speaking in London in preparation for the launch of the British Science Festival in Halle, northeast England, said that if he were asked two years ago about the most important issue of the future, he said: "Climate change or another major challenge facing humanity Such as terrorism, resistance to antibiotics and the threat of epidemics or poverty in the world, but I am sure today that the most important issue we should talk about is the future of artificial intelligence that will dominate what will happen to all these other issues for better or worse. "
The government is responsible
"If Russian hackers are capable of influencing the US election, what would prevent cyber-terrorists from penetrating networks of energy, transportation, banks, or military facilities run artificially?" Asked Khalili.
Al-Khalili stressed the government's responsibility to protect society against such threats and potential dangers. Artificial intelligence and robotics, described as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, have made remarkable progress in recent years, including the development of neural networks that were thought to be impossible to build.
Professor Khalili said there were legitimate concerns that artificial intelligence applications on a large scale would exacerbate inequality, especially the impact of unskilled workers, by acquiring robots and automated systems on their job opportunities.
Security and privacy Where to?
"There is a level of interest, investment and technological progress in this field, which many, I am one of them, feel is happening very quickly."
The Daily Telegraph reported a recent survey showing that 59 per cent of Britons thought it necessary to introduce tougher controls, expressing concerns about the privacy of information and security in the first place.
The Bank of England warned a few days ago that "large swaths" of the British workforce are now threatened with unemployment as a result of the acquisition of robots and goreiths on their jobs, and even sectors that were thought to be immune, such as creative writing, are now being replaced by artificially intelligent programs.
