Sometimes a beacon of hope, sometimes a harbinger of the apocalypse, artificial intelligence has become so important (and it's not over yet) that it is the source of all sorts of hypotheses about the future of humanity.
Humans and AI, the figures that scare££££
The latest prediction comes from Subhash Kak, a professor of computer science at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, who believes that the growing omnipresence of AI will contribute to reducing the world population: from just over 8 billion today, we will be reduced to only 100 million (the current population of Vietnam) between the years 2300 and 2380.
Will humans one day be completely demotivated?££££
"It will be devastating for global society," the professor told The Sun newspaper. I think people don't realize it at all." Will robots take up arms to dislocate us and enslave the few survivors? Not really, because the problem will be more of a professional and demographic nature. In short, AI will take all the jobs, gradually demotivating humans to reproduce. "Computers or robots will never be conscious, but they will literally do everything we do, because most of our activities in life can be replaced," explains Kak. According to him, people will hesitate to have children in a world where professional prospects no longer exist, which will cause the birth rate and demographics to plummet. To support his theory, the professor points out that birth rates are already plummeting in developed regions like Europe, China, Japan, and especially Korea. So, so, on that note, we wish you a very nice day.
