While reading a Room for debate article “Is Artificial Intelligence Taking Over Our Lives?” debaters Gary Kasparov and Joi Ito both make good points regarding the use of technologies. To begin with, Gary Kasparov writes about how robots are replacing our old jobs while we humans create new jobs. Machines have been replacing us since the first one was built but it also creates new job opportunities. For example, if the machine needs to be fixed or cleaned they can hire people to do that. It might take your job away but it also creates new opportunities for more people.
Joi Ito argues about how well-intended uses of technology can end making everything worse. In 2003 Ito wrote a paper that envisioned open internet would play a huge role in creating peace and democratizing society. It seemed that the internet did help with that but then it became a place for “bigotry and malicious trolling” writes Ito. In my opinion I agree with both Kasparov and Ito. Yes technology can create new job opportunities but that doesn’t mean something can’t go wrong. It all depends on people’s point of view. Everyone has their own opinion and thoughts. Which leads to me asking: What is your opinion about AI?, Is it really taking over our lives or are they helping improve the world?
