How AI Will Rewire Us

"For better and for worse, robots will alter humans’ capacity for altruism, love, and friendship."   Long read, but interesting take on AI!  https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/04/robots-human-relationships/583204/

All doom and gloom aside, I think this is a hopeful piece. The robots are just a tool and they will reflect us back to ourselves. I believe that in order to make the best of our collaboration with AI, we need to get clear about what it means to be HUMAN. We need a new singular ideology/identity around that.

In this hilarious new parody, Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant encourages humans to “Use It or Lose It” - setting our digital devices aside to (occasionally) engage our own brains. 

Award-winning filmmakers Michael Stusser and Marty Riemer (“Sleeping with Siri”) collaborated on the humorous video to coincide with the National Day of Unplugging (March 1st). 

In "Use It Or Lose It," a man (Stusser) is gently coaxed by his various Digital Assistants to try and use his own cognitive skills - so as to continue to sharpen his memory, math skills and sense of direction. The video pokes fun at how reliant we’ve all become on our newfangled “assistants” for even the most simple tasks, and warns of the potential for “digital dementia.” 

The documentary “Sleeping with Siri” illustrated the importance of finding balance in an era of digital madness, and won a variety of film festival awards (The American Documentary Film Festival, Big Easy, and Hollywood Film Fest).  After the success of the doc, the filmmakers created The Tech Timeout Academic Challenge, a program which asks young people to turn off their digital devices for up to a week in order to understand and appreciate concepts like reading, kick the can, and finding your own way home - or to the library. The program has been conducted in over 1,000 schools across the country, and is the basis for their upcoming follow-up documentary.

I hate it but it's already happening. People are generally more awkward than they used to be and spend less time around others, and will choose the least intimate ways to communicate

The algorithms that social media uses to choose what content we see are affecting people's perceptions of how common certain problems are and how much to freak out about them.

3) this is very cool research, and I just have questions, no answers 🙃

2) more generally, why is this technology, “AI”, different from other tech that changes human behavior? Because it touches so many aspects of our lives? Or because we treat digital assistants as if they’re conscious or have agency?

A group of likeminded people in Artificial Intelligence are talking about this.
