Abstract- What would the future be like when AI is floating freely and conquering all that humans can do, all that humans can have? What was AI made for- to help humans, not to take away what humans have. AI is seeming to take away all humans can have- jobs, opportunity, inception, ability to earn money, decision making, and, moreover, the ability to think. We are getting dependent on AI for everything. Chatbots have become a habit now; our days start with asking the chatbot about the weather and end with being asked to wake up on time. We discuss here what the future should be like with AI, and what safe ways to practice AI are. Yes, we need AI help in predicting the weather. This kind of AI is not harmful. What is harmful is addictive AI. What is harmful is total dependence on AI for everything. We need to reduce divide in society that AI can cause, already there is a divide, we need to reduce it. There is useful AI that we need and we cant live without, but there is AI which is a mess, like fake news generated with AI which needs to be banned. AI cant take over human thinking, we don’t want our social media to be run on its own with AI. AI race is commanded by selected few, and this gathers with it power to control the world not just the money. This must be addresses, they need to give the salaries of people replaced from jobs, in piggy bank for youth of today.
Introduction
AI is dominating all tech news these days. AI, a new AI, a new AI tool, a new AI app has come up. These are some of the daily news we get. But what are humans doing? Losing jobs to AI, e.g., is coding now in the hands of AI? Where are the salaries of those junior coders whom AI replaced? What are the potential junior coders doing now? What happened to graduates in computer science who grew up thinking they would join some tech company as coders? Where are those young people who recently graduated in AI, only to find AI has transitioned completely now? Things are changing so fast, very fast indeed. Many AI is useful for so many ways, from planning to schedule a meeting to going to Mars, AI has left no stone unturned. But we must know we cant take AI for granted especially if AI is merged with our friendly robotics in good faith.
We need to take things into our own hands, because for some, this is just a business, a money-making and fame-making machine. Some are so immersed in it that they don’t release what they are doing. If someone had been in their place, they would have done only this. But this is unfortunately not the right thing to do for mankind. Mankind is a unique species on Earth; we have the power of the mind not just brain. The aim of AI is to copy the human brain and mimic its workings. But we are there; we have crossed the red line. There was a zebra crossing, and mankind was supposed to stop there, just there. But it didn’t; mankind has crossed the red mark. We have crossed the red mark. We must slow down; we must differentiate between experimental AI and usable AI. Experimental AI is like an experiment on mankind; we are all addicted to AI bots now, that experiment of AI. And usable AI is the right dose of AI, which mankind would be more than happy with.
In this article, you will see the possible ways we can save our future generations from becoming workers of AI to owning their AI. From just a user of AI to a manager of their lives with the best of AI. AI is being used in many domains, and there are many right ways to use it, such as potential cures for deadly diseases like cancer and viruses, detecting climate for farming, predicting rain for agriculture, and curing bird flu in pigeons. These AI systems need to be developed further, but at the same time we should know that the same AI that can create a cure can also create a demon, a threat, so the use of AI must be handled with caution. Hence, we need licensing. It does not mean AI solutions would be held off from people. No, all that should be told to people, but the keys to innovate may be in some people’s hands. It does not mean high medicine prices. No, just that we don’t want someone to make a new virus in the same AI labs that were meant to cure cancer. This is just one solution. In the next section, we discuss the framework of what future AI would be like.
The Framework
AI is giving humans fame, money, and power. That is human tendency. This is directing the AI era. Every AI company is competing for power in AI. The company with the most subscribers becomes the fame-maker of AI and hence the future. But this is not supposed to be this way. The AI we need is basic AI, bots to answer us, maps to guide us, and search to help us with what we want. More on this can be kept as experimental AI to be delivered when man reaches the Moon or Mars. We do not need anything more than this. Yes, we need more developments in AI in medicine, with the aim that the tools be in the right mind; the people should not be inculcated with a mission to gain fame, but with an aim to service to mankind; only such AI should be needed. Other AI needs to halt; their development needs to be made but for foreign planets like Mars and the Moon. These AI and smart ecosystems can be kept for Mars and Moon missions. The work won’t go to waste. E.g., fully automated smart hospitals. We know that AI can make errors; if it makes 1% error, it can mess with someone’s health, so we need human supervision with AI. Such things can be kept for outer space stations.
The people who are innovating today are those who need money, want safe jobs, want fame, and want their chairs to be safe. But do you think of future generations? What would future generations do? Think of others too, the remaining 99% of people on Earth. We need AI to help with climate and farming, but what we need is not an AI takeover. We don’t want AI to take over human thinking. We can think; we just need cues.
What would the future of AI be like
In the future, we want AI to be separated into experimental AI and usable AI. Experimental AI should be AI that is being tested and produces lower accuracy, while usable AI is AI that is 100% accurate with no chance of any mistake. Experimental AI can be given licenses to work in labs with humans to solve problems such as aging, cures for cancer and viruses, and how to live on the Moon and Mars. It’s not that we found a new biological neuron and we say the future of AI belongs to biological neurons. We don’t want a new species on Earth without any reasons. We don’t want biological robots, that is a direct threat to humans. All these and similar claims shall need licenses to pursue, or they can continue as experimental AI if they don’t want to enter the tedious process of obtaining licenses. But experimental AI shall not go to people. Yes, it can be kept to find hidden secrets of the universe. This is a safe topic, and such topics can be studied by experimental AI, provided caution is exercised to avoid harming people. Such topics anyone can query form an AI bot of their choice.
In the future, jobs replaced by AI must be paid for by AI, whether it’s robotics or AI. If you coded 1000 lines, you did the work of few days for a senior engineer. You have to pay into the piggy bank of a senior engineer. This should go to the efforts of people who want this money badly. We don’t want such a divide in society. We need to pay back to them. AI learned from their friends, seniors, and colleagues’ talks about code on the internet. We must give back, not just in robotics but also in AI.
AI has replaced analysts as well. The analytics company must show its employee base before and after using AI. It must give the salaries of those ex-employees to govt piggy banks, which can help create new jobs. Yes, we can create new jobs, jobs that are tough to sustain at the beginning, such as bars, theme hotels, restaurants, gardening, pondside coffee shops, artificial lakes, farming, agriculture, vineyards, organic eggs, and more. Yes, tulips would come. Would we have robots to cut them or humans? Well, that depends. Dumb machines for a task are no harm to humans. We can continue with robotics to help mankind, as we humans find it tough to raise a table with our hands, so robotics is a help. But robotics replace jobs too, as does AI? No. Well, it does, but we buy robots, we maintain robots. That is a cost we bear, as compared to AI. So we can have robots as long as they don’t possess AGI and ASI, as the terms for it are.
Youth Today
The youth today are lost, unsure of what to do or what to specialize in, jobs or business? Yes, analytics and coding have been taken over by AI, but there are jobs that AI can’t take over, and there are more jobs coming. We don’t want our social media to post on our behalf on its own, do we? No! So tell your AI friends that what you are making will go to Mars and the Moon one day. But here on Earth, let us live as we are led. We will stamp what AI will do. Let humans sign that.
The piggy banks mentioned above would help youth retrain, say, in robotics engineering, plumbing, mechanical work, or maybe they want to develop AI for Mars and the Moon. Maybe they are geniuses; we can’t stop genius humans from pursuing the goals of life that are against our values. The piggy banks would fund the expenses of youth in college, when they are adults. The youth would be given options and time to choose. Do they want a dairy farm that is beautiful, organic, and no one has thought of it? Have you? No, we are all in the AI race; no one is in the race to make a beautiful dairy farm, so how can this field excel? Or do you want to grow wheat, given you need to be aware of climate hues? We need AI help with this, but this is in AI bots that would be allowed. Yes, we need AI help in predicting the weather. This kind of AI is not harmful. What is harmful is addictive AI. What is harmful is total dependence on AI for everything.
Do you want to be a news reader, as we will ban AI from taking over TV, media, and fake news? Or do you want to take part in a Netflix series called “Life in 2050,” which combines the best of today’s AI with Hollywood? Yes, we can all set goals for what life would be like in 2050 and stick to them. We, as mankind, have no aims right now. It’s not just youth that is lost; it’s all the people of Earth who are lost in AI these days, AI here, AI there. Take your robots and do some farming. Pay robot tax to the government and do more farming. Open a restaurant. Be the owner of your life. Write, as we can ban AI from many things; be an artist who works in collaboration with AI. Be a photographer; go underwater to photograph the best fish couple; we have not seen the best underwater couple yet. Dream; AI can’t take away your right to dream, dear youth of today.
Conclusion and Future Work
We, as humans, need to understand that just a few AI companies are steering our lives in a direction we don’t know. Even they don’t know that the direction is AI automation. We are automating everything for AI, governance for AI, travel with AI, and recently, a businessman said your social media posts would be automated as well. Well, wait, we don’t want it. Take a deep breath and see where you are now, and where you want to go! We need AI for scientific discoveries, and that AI must not fall into the wrong hands; we need AI for space exploration and cancer cures. And the remaining AI that we need is daily AI help just like the search bar of 2000’s, we need some intelligent answers with us when we want, but we don’t want art automated with AI, yes we want to do art with AI, youth wants jobs, analytics need to understand they need stamping of humans after report is generated with AI, so hire youth. Hire people, yes, we humans are not mechanically strong, so we need help in farming, agriculture, mechanical work, such as in warehouses, so we need robots. Robot owners can pay the robot’s salary into a piggy bank for the youth. Yes, we want AI in hospitals, but we don’t want a fully AI-automated hospital; keep it for space stations. We don’t want so many satellites around Earth; we want birds to breathe air from heaven, so please save us from data centres covering Earth’s atmosphere, rather than keep them on the Moon, if you still need it.
