Does AI kill jobs in Silicon Valley have the responsibility to stop robots from research and development?
(Original headline: Does Silicon Valley have a moral responsibility to stop developing robots? |)
Netease Technology News July 17 news, according to TechCrunch reported that the United States on the impact of new technologies on the social debate is still continuing, especially artificial intelligence (AI). In June of this year, Gavin Newsom, one of Silicon Valley's most loyal supporters and interested in running for governor of California in 2018, warned the computer science graduates of the University of California, Berkeley, that they have a responsibility to "play moral authority. "To help society become better.
Regarding the impact of new technology on employment and inequality, Newtham said at the time: “This is the red code on the road ahead, which may trigger a tsunami.â€
So is Newtham's remark correct? Is the responsibility of entrepreneurs and technicians "to exert their moral authority?" To answer this question and speak more broadly about the impact of artificial intelligence on employment, Andrew McAfee, the co-head of the MIT Digital Economic Partnership Program, accepted the interview.
McAfee is one of the world's leading authorities on the economic consequences of new technologies and the author of the 2014 best-selling book The Second Machine Age, which recently published "Machines, Platforms, Crowds." (Machine, Platform, Crowd). Three years ago, McAfee and his co-author, MIT Prof. Erik Brynjolfsson, discussed the link between digital technology and employment. What changes have taken place since 2014, and what has been found in McAfee's new book. What surprised him most during the past three years?
On the one hand, McAfee admitted: "We all underestimated the speed of new technological advances" because things change faster and more intense than he imagined. On the other hand, he also stated that he was surprised by the number of new jobs created by these new technologies. He said that although these jobs may not all be great. But so far, their existence has at least not appeared in Newtham's fear of "technological unemployment tsunami."
The biggest regret for McAfee is that he believes that the failure of public policy over the past three years has been due to failure to prepare for the upcoming storm. As stated in The Second Machine Age, the liberalization of immigration policies or the investment in infrastructure, education, and scientific research are all being sought after. McAfee warns that today we may be more vulnerable to the dark economic consequences of the digital revolution.
Should Silicon Valley play its moral authority and stop the development of this technology that kills jobs? McAfee made it clear that it was absolutely not the case. He acknowledged that in the next 50 years, the economy will experience "large-scale automation," but at the same time, society will have half a century to adapt to the development of robots. McAfee is still ultimately an optimist. He said that in the long run, things will always be better. Finally, we will be able to control the upcoming "tsunami." (small)
