Let's have a debate about AI...

Lovely photograph, don’t you think? But would you like it as much if you knew it was generated by AI?

Blown away as I still am by the "limitless-ness" of what AI can do, I am now joining forces with the worriers.

Recent advancements in the use of AI in chatbots, driverless cars, song-writing software and the development of pharmaceuticals has Sundar Pichai (Google) awake at night. He warns that the technology can be “very harmful” if incorrectly deployed. 

A number of well-known leaders such as Elon Musk (Tesla and Twitter) and Steve Wozniak (Apple) have signed an open letter published by the nonprofit Future of Life Institute, calling on AI labs around the world to pause development of large-scale AI systems, citing fears over the "profound risks to society and humanity" they claim this software poses.

The beautiful photograph is by German artist Boris Eldagsen and he won a Sony world photography award for it. However he is declining the award and says the photograph was designed to provoke debate.

Well he got my vote. About the debate. What are your thoughts on this?
