Farming: Prediction of crops, irrigation, and weather. Healthcare: Metanalysis of disease populations and samples, diagnosis and collaboration of care. Transportation: AI can be used in fully autonomous vehicles and predictions of traffic patterns. INTRODUCTION SOLUTIONS Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that has the power to think for itself, without human manipulation. Singularity is the moment when technology becomes smarter than humans, maybe even out of the control of the humans who utilize and design it. This poster is an examination of the threat to humankind of singularity becoming a reality. The primary voice in the argument is a millennial, a voice from an underrepresented group in the growing discussion of AI. Create a group of individuals focused on AI research. Monitor the usage of AI. Make AI democratically available to everyone. Prevent the abuse of power. Neuralink: A new company founded by Elon Musk that is creating a device that will help humans to merge with AI. Figure 1: Confronting AI: These graphs depict the future of humanity. If humanity confronts AI (the green line), technology and life will succeed at an exponential rate. If humanity ignores the threats of AI (the red line), humanity will suffer at an exponential rate. A MILLENIAL’S PROPOSAL A committee of leading experts must be created to focus solely on AI research and its implications for humanity. Limitations as a global society must be created for developing AI. Society must be educated on AI and its implications. In addition, consumers should be taught on how to recognize the dangers of AI. Individuals should make an effort to stay informed on technology consumption and technological advancements. NOTABLE VOICES CONCERNS Ginni Rometty: CEO of IBM Yann Lecun: Chief AI scientist for Facebook Stephen Hawking: Theoretical Physicist Elon Musk: CEO of Space X and Tesla Greg Brockman: Cofounder of Open AI Jeff Dean: Head of AI at Google Martin Ford: Author of Rise of Robots Main Idea: Becoming too dependent on technology. Loss of Creativity: AI will replace the human need for design, creativity, and autonomous thought. Bias: AI is restricted to the programmer and the program that is created. It does not consider ethics. Loss of unskilled jobs: AI replaces laborers in the unskilled workforce. Singularity: AI has potential to overpower humans. De-evolution: Eventually, humans will dependent on technology and lose intelligence. MILLENIALS REFERENCES Millennials include anyone who is years old. They were born during the Information Age, the current technological time period. Millennials have become accustomed to living with technology. This group has become an example of how humans have become dependent on technology. Millennials are an underrepresented voice in the discussion of AI, singularity, and the implications for the future. Geralt. (2018). Evolution Picture [Photograph]. Retrieved from N. (2019).
