The Pew Research Center in the United States recently released a research report titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Mankind.According to the report, most experts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) believe that by 2030, AI will have a positive impact on humans.
In the study, the Pew Research Center surveyed 979 technology pioneers, innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, and researchers in the AI field.Ask them to evaluate the impact of AI on humans in 2030 and answer the question "Whether most people will live better than today by 2030?"
According to the survey, 63% of respondents believe that advanced AI and related technologies will improve human capabilities, and most people will live better.They say that AI technology will make computers capable of complex decision making, reasoning and learning, complex analysis and pattern recognition, visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation comparable to humans, even better than humans;Many AI systems will help people save more time and money and provide more personalized services for individuals; especially in the public health and education fields, AI will play an important role.
Another 37% of respondents believe that advanced AI and related technologies are likely to weaken human autonomy and initiative, so that by 2030 most people will not be better than today.Marina Gobes, executive director of the Future Research Institute of the United States, said that AI may cause greater economic inequality.“If there are no major changes in our political economy and data governance mechanisms, AI may result in greater economic inequality, more monitoring, and more procedural, non-human-centered interactions,” she said.
Whether optimistic about the future or not, most experts are concerned about the long-term effects of AI development on humans, such as employment, data abuse, and the threat of autonomous weapons.It is believed that the development of AI must be the primary task of serving all mankind, with the goal of expanding human capabilities, and political and economic reforms.Only by formulating the necessary regulatory policies can humanity take the initiative in the future "human-machine competition."
