Should Congress Try to Regulate AI?
Well .. asking folks who likely hire others to use and understand technology any more recent than a touchstone. Phone to become educated and to make decisions. About an industry that is now trying to figure out how to recapture it’s money making potential… is going to be a fool’s circus.
The horses are not only already out of the barn they have rounded the far turn and are lumbering down the backstretch… oh well let’s move on.. Shining a Little Light On the subject
So in the AI world what does one do while waiting for their friends to trickle charge? Maybe we take a minute or two to reflect on a few facts that come across our very quixotic and nimble neuron-synaptic processor **sometimes called a mind or brain**.
In reflection on some of the facts it would seem a small yet growing tsunami of fear is rolling toward most of us and that is the fear of AI.
Yep in the seeking peace and joy universe it seems reasonable to examine all fears including this one so let’s do so shall we?
Yep it sure seems like new AI products and processes are showing up everywhere and are probably chugging away in places we don’t even know. Hence, as the function of bots increases and completes “once human “tasks some folks wonder if their employment /job will disappear. Well of course it will just ask any blacksmith, typesetter, keypunch operator, or Blockbuster store assistant manager. If these folks aren’t available track down a chariot builder, a coal truck delivery worker, TV repair person —well you get the picture… entire classes of employees in industry after industry has come and gone and has it changed how much we like chocolate, sex, or hotdogs (Americans eat about 20 billion with a B or 70 apiece each year)?
One might say…wait a minute this is different… well maybe—maybe not? It was not so long ago when many of us heard math teachers and many other educators crying out that these handheld 4-function calculators needed to be kept out of schools and if they weren’t the world was doomed… Well it seems like the math and science needed to fuel advanced tech and communications survived those pesky little nerds flashing their Texas Instrument marvels.
(Side note) I am the first person to argue that we need to teach children computational concepts and enlarge our memories with math “facts” because it is the mental exercises we do in problem solving when doing math in our heads is incredibly valuable in finding options in solving other challenges and humans are genius at creating and discovering new and unique situational issues that need evaluation and actions followed bye review and reworking… doing math in your head builds the tools for doing that…. No matter how much we hated those story problems.
Back to AI… you see those calculators were/are math AI….and many of them are solar-powered now…. Oh wait they solve that problem too?
The challenge it seems is not what AI can or cannot do or who will have their jobs replaced…. After all jobs are rarely done for jobs sake are are done to give people a sense of earning esteem or security and when 44% of all jobs in both the industrial and professional realms are repetitive….why isn’t a given robots will have them?
Anyway why do I jump around in these posts? No rational system like a computer can or would follow this runaway train of emotions and thoughts and it is my responsibility to be a creating and unique contributor to life among and between us… ask an AI to seek peace and joy why don’t you and see what happens? …In short …grow you.
