Machines Vs. Humans: The Impact of A.I. on Society
It's been over 200 years since the industrial revolution, and we could be in the midst of a cybernetics revolution as machines and humans become more and more interwoven. Mazin Gilbert, VP of AT&T Labs, was with us to discuss whether the Cybernetics Revolution will be more disruptive than the Industrial Revolution.
Just like the Industrial Revolution, which marked the beginning of automation and retooling of machinery and the workforce, the Cybernetics Revolution is changing the way society works. Only now, the automation is software-centric and even more data-driven, allowing AI to self-repair and continuously self-optimize to become more intelligent. Gilbert explained the ways data and automation are changing the way we work and how there's a re-teaching of skills in the workforce underway.
There's an ongoing debate between Zuckerberg and Musk on the impact of A.I. on society. Just like any technology, Gilbert said there are always both benefits and things we have to watch out for. Without search, he said we would not know what to do as a community.
