ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MODERN MAGIC OR DANGEROUS FUTURE BY YORICK WILKS.A SYNOPSIS.

 

This book is articulated by Yorick Wilks about the aftermath of AI.The writer contrasts two types of AI in the book; classical AI and ML (machine Learning).He argues that Classical AI will be inevitable and will operate on logics.Wilks is of the view that Classical AI will not only work on intelligence but on intellicence.Struggling hard to operate AI on logics and make it efficient as humans, is the reflection of how AI builders are enabling AI to encompass all the fields associated with humans.

The writer is crazy as he articulates that Classical AI is going to have no barriers at all. According to the book, logical AI will serve as a psychologist teacher, as a psychiatric therapist, waiter, serving as ambassador, playing games such as Chess and Go, being a scientist, as an assistant and also as babies or parents to ones that are deprived of family.it will be designed to do scientific experiments and also explore deep space. Self-driving cars and air-vehicles transport will be common till that era. Conclusively, imagine on the tap of your finger, all the appliances will be controlled; educational institutions will have no physical strength. Economy will be digitalized, structuralism will be excerpted and laws and constitutions will operate digitally.

As every rose has thrones, bringing this utopian world in reality is extremely an apple of discord.Wilks narrates that humans know to be semi-logical with maturity but machines are unable to adopt maturity. Apart from it, Classical AI cannot operate on logics as when an Israeli philosopher, Yahoshua-Bar-Hillel when asked AI that book is in the pen, what does it means? The result was very interesting as AI was unable to answer it .Likewise, the major problems which disturbs the author is the old game between AI and Emotions. However, if John Roebling can build the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge, humans can have the ideal and Classical AI.

Pouring a sea in the bowl, that Classical AI can be realistic in future   with strong compassion, hard work, intuition and curiosity. However, if AI will be launched, the world would develop 1000 times faster than its current speed.60 percent of contemporary workforce would be done by AI built humanoid robots. Humans would be severely affected with it and will become hands to mouth and will face threats morally and ethically. A one liner statement for all this will be that the whole world will be transformed in a true way.
