The AI Promise and Threat

Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) produce cures for major illnesses and societal problems?

Perhaps.

Will AI seriously damage intellectual development in large numbers of people?

I fear the answer is that it will definitely do so.

Rick,

Very interesting.

I have less fear of AI becoming an active threat and more of it being a passive threat that quietly erodes the human desire to learn and the self-discipline needed to sustain such learning.
