Artificial intelligence warning: AI will know us better than we know ourselves

Mr McCarthy-Jones believes the best way to protect ourself from an AI-led totalitarian future is to not be so open about our private lives on social media. This way, the scientist argues, machine learning algorithms will not be able to predict, and thus tell us, what we want. He continued in The Conversation: "Today, AI can predict what films we will like, what news we will want to read, and who we will want to friend on Facebook. It can predict whether couples will stay together and if we will attempt suicide. "From our Facebook likes, AI can predict our religious and political views, personality, intelligence, drug use and happiness.
