Sadly we only get the 1984 scenario.

Extrapolate the existing trends. More partisan division leading to violence. More environmental degradation. More homelessness. More deaths from drugs. More wealth inequality. More war.

I think I've done Math wrong again

>Another [doctor] told the Times he was shocked at how effective the AI programs were after he presented the software with some of the most difficult cases of his career — including instances in which other radiologists had missed signs of cancer in a scan — and the program correctly identified the cancer every time.

In other words, the damage has already become too heavy and now they're trying to go into full-on repair mode before it spirals.

What!? We all know the singularity is upon us! /s

Maybe we should stop using “intelligence” to denote anything that a computer does through a deep neural network. AI was termed as the intelligence shown by a machine that resembles what humans mean by intelligence. Reinforced learning from a limited set of pictures to predict future pictures has nothing to do with what we call intelligence.

Realistically, the contiguous states will probably have separated into a small number of self governing units and the US as a country won't exist. The deep south up to Virginia and west to Arizona will probably be sparsely populated due to the ravages of climate change, and the remaining areas will be split between being hyper protectionist against climate refugees and more culturally permissive like the western seaboard and north eastern states are today.

As for technology, we will likely have it in abundance and the benefits of this will more greatly favor those at the top end of the increased social stratification, while the great majority of the population live at or near the poverty line. For most, this would result in a greater focus on the immediate community due to a lack of mobility, and this would also lead to much less cultural blending and increased tension between communities and regions.

I'd be 203 by then!

This is wrong. Because datasets are collected by humans they suffer from lots of different biases that are really hard to identify and remove. It's becoming a huge research topic.

It can already do this over wifi. It can even delete it over wifi

Doesn't matter your profession. To say the grid is more stable than a dedicated system of components is... very wrong. Please, do us all a favor and correct this deficiency.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/CelebrationDirect209:

More than 190 countries have reached a landmark deal for protecting the biodiversity of the world’s oceans, agreeing for the first time on a common framework for establishing new protected areas in international waters.

The treaty, whose text was finalized Saturday night by diplomats at the U.N. headquarters after years of stalled talks, will help safeguard the high seas, which lie beyond national boundaries and make up two-thirds of Earth’s ocean surface. Member states have been trying to agree on the long-awaited treaty for almost 20 years.

Environmental advocacy groups heralded the finalized text — which still needs to be ratified by the United Nations — as a new chapter for Earth’s high seas. Just 1.2 percent of them are currently environmentally protected, exposing the vast array of marine species that teem beneath the surface — from tiny plankton to giant whales — to threats such as pollution, overfishing, shipping and deep-sea mining.

I'd agree. After looking at the mammogram, a doctor told my Mom she was fine.

It was the tech who saved her life.

I work litteraly on the mammogram we can see on this picture.

AI will be used every time in less that 5 years. It has already begun with really promising results. So yeah.

I’m not saying AI won’t assist in the medical workplace but to think it will replace doctors in the next 20-30 years is an asinine thought

That was my first thought. When I read journal articles that are comparing new data science techniques, it isn’t uncommon to use a breast cancer data set as a benchmark. At least the article does mention that companies have been doing this for years.

Its not? Medicine has never been, and will never be an exact science. There’s currently no AI equipped to deal with all the nuisances that come with each patient.

I Imagine AI will replace doctors completely within a decade or two.
