AI: Till date we were only worried about the fact that AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence will take away our jobs. But now experts are telling even more threat to humans to disappear from this earth. Subhash Kak, Professor of Computer Science at Oklahoma State University in America, believes that if the development of AI continues at this speed, till 2300, the whole world’s population can be reduced to only 10 crore, which will be equal to the population of today’s United Kingdom.
AI’s effect
In an interview to New York Post, Professor Kak described the situation as “terrible”. He said that most people are unable to understand how deep and far -reaching AI will be. According to him, as the functioning is being automatically, the usefulness of humans is decreasing. When the machines do all the work, the need to produce and raise people will also decrease.
He says that in many countries of the world, population is already decreasing like Japan, China, South Korea and Europe. In such a situation, if this trend continues, then in the coming time, big cities like London, New York can be deserted, where only machines and metal structures will remain, not humans.
Professor Kak also believes that AI will never be completely “aware”, that is, it will not bring human consciousness but it will do every thing that humans do. When all the responsibilities start fulfilling AI, then the need of humans will gradually end.
He also said that people are now avoiding giving birth to children, and this thinking will be stronger over time. With the arrival of AI, the priorities of career and life are changing, which is also affecting family structure and society.
He also gave an example of Allen Musk, who has already warned that the decline in birth rate is the biggest threat to humanity. Musk believes that this is why space colonies are being talked about, so that human civilization can be saved.
