I’ve had a few conversations with my 78-year old father about AI.
We’ve talked about all of the good things that will come from it, but when I start talking about the potential issues of abuse and regulation, it’s not landing.
Things like without regulations, writers/actors/singers/etc. have reason to be nervous. How AI has the potential to take jobs, or make existing positions unnecessary.
He keeps bringing up past “revolutions”, and how those didn’t have a dramatically negative impact on society.
“We used to have 12 people in a field picking vegetables, then somebody invented the tractor and we only need 4 people and need the other 8 to pack up all the additional veggies the tractor can harvest”.
“When computers came on the scene in the 80’s, people thought everyone was going to be out of a job, but look at what happened.”
That sort of thing.
Are there any (somewhat short) papers, articles, or TED Talks that I could send him that would help him understand that while there is a lot of good stuff about AI, there is bad stuff too. And that the AI “revolution” can’t really be compared to past revolutions,
