AI and Its Consequences

Some technologies can be harmful to humanity. Artificial Intelligence may very well be one of them; but it does not have to be.

We must remember that it is us, humans, who are responsible for how this technology is developed. We must then also accept and deal with the consequences of our actions. Whether they were accounted for or not.

The problem statement is simple. How can we ensure we make the right decisions such that AI does not turn out harmful? Unfortunately, the answer is much more complex.

To meaningfully participate in this discourse, one must first understand the technology. Where did it come from? How does it work? What is it capable of? The goal of this series is to provide this understanding, and facilitate a baseline from which you can form your own conclusions.
