In the AI ​​era, human opinions may disappear: Hai Miao's outlook on AI

Dear Reader:

A friend asked me what I thought about the statement "Science fiction is the forefront of science and technology, probably in 30-50 years."

In my opinion, in fact, the development of cutting-edge science has surpassed our imagination, and the imagination of scientists is no worse than that of science fiction writers. In previous science fiction works, AI (artificial intelligence) often appears in very specific images, but when the AI ​​era truly arrives, we will find that it may just be a program that penetrates into our minds in some formless and insubstantial state. Went in life and work.

I believe this trend will be more obvious in the future. In the AI ​​era, all our activities are related to it, but this influence is subtle. Maybe we are controlled by it unknowingly, but we ourselves are not. Can't detect anything unusual.

In my work in the financial field, aspects such as customer profiling and risk control that relied heavily on manual judgment in the past are gradually being replaced by various models. There is no doubt that they are more rational and efficient. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the development of AI technology will have a huge positive impact on the financial industry.

But it is worth noting that AI operates based on data, so how to ensure that the data is objective and comprehensive? This may be the Achilles heel of AI, and it is also where we cannot be replaced for the time being.

A screenshot of an interview with Director Guo Fan discussing artificial intelligence is circulating on the Internet. He told the host that the attitude towards artificial intelligence is much better now than before: in the beginning, using GPT was imperative, such as "Hurry up and write something for me", and you would scold it after you finished writing. "Look at what you wrote to me", and then receive a very nice "I'm sorry" from GPT and revised content; recently, he has changed and will say "please, trouble, hard work, thank you" to GPT. The reason is that I want to "leave a way out for myself".

This reminds me that there were science fiction writers who believed that robots should be given equal rights in the future. We need them to be "human" when they are doing work like escorting. But what if this robot is engaged in dangerous mining work, does it have the right to refuse? The answer may be that by establishing a “grading system” when developing AI, we do not give such AI “humanity”.

Dear readers, the development of technology is an unstoppable torrent, just like the fire retained by primitive people in forest fires. This may be the greatest invention in the history of human civilization. To this day, we will still suffer losses because of its loss of control, but it is impossible for us to go back to the era of eating raw materials and drinking blood.

Facing the sweeping AI era, we can just embrace and adapt to it.
