    Study Notes

    The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Humanity

    • As of August 2017, an estimated 1 million Filipino BPO workers may lose their jobs due to the adoption of artificial intelligence.
    • The widespread use of AI raises ethical considerations, including the potential need to consider the ethical treatment of AI in the future.

    The Blurring of Lines between Humans and Machines

    • As machines and robots become more human-like, humans may have the tendency to become machine-like, relying on technology for instant answers and information.
    • The internet has become an instant go-to tool for answers, leading to a decrease in human intelligence and critical thinking.

    The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)

    • The 4IR is characterized by the blurring of lines between physical, digital, and biological spheres.
    • The COVID-19 pandemic has fast-tracked the development of 4IR technologies, leading to increased automation and AI adoption.
    • 4IR technologies have the potential to improve lives and change the world for the better.

    The Dangers of Emerging Technologies

    • Bill Joy (2000) contends that genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR) threaten to make humans an endangered species.
    • These technologies have an amplifying factor, allowing them to self-replicate and potentially get out of control.
    • While these technologies offer great promise, they also pose significant risks if not managed carefully.

    The Role of Human Rationality in Shaping the World

    • Science and technology may be the highest expression of human rationality, but they can also be corrupted by human nature.
    • The powers of human rationality and technology can be used to shape or destroy the world.

    The Industrial Revolutions

    • The 4IR is marked by the rise of intelligence and automation, following the 1st Industrial Revolution (1760-1820) marked by the rise of steam engines, the 2nd Industrial Revolution (1820-1900) marked by the use of electricity, and the 3rd Industrial Revolution (1900s) marked by the age of computers.

    The Rise of Machines and the Future of Humanity

    • The rise of machines and automation may render humans useless, as manual labor is gradually replaced by machinery.
    • The use of AI and robots in industries such as BPO may lead to job losses and a reevaluation of the role of humans in the workforce.
