Future predictions

 

Will future with A.I and technology look like this 

Or this

It is quite hard to predict how things will develop but it is a good idea to try to imagine and think about the future as this can allow us to both reflect on mistakes made in the past, and as a result try to apply our current knowledge and hopes for the future to what we do today, and what we do today ultimately will influence the future. Some futurists predict that A.I will be the downfall of humanity. That A.I will simply see us as we see an ant colony going about their business or perhaps a fly that we simply swat away. Others say we are only at the beginning of a great technological revolution, that with the help of A.I and other technologies we will eventually colonies other planets or perhaps even galaxies. I cant help but think that the romans must have been thinking the same thing. I can imagine a roman sitting in a spa thinking this is it, this is the life aren't we just so clever, our great society and achievement's will last forever there is no way down from here. Yet Rome fell in 476 bringing about a dark age of famine and death. This happened because of faults that are deeply rooted in human nature. The age old saying power corrupts. Could A.I perhaps see these faults and reckon us unsalvageable. Could A.I reveal to us questions that have plagued scientists for centuries, and as a result bring about an age of human cooperation and success. Only time will tell.
