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

AI, the term which essentially allows robots to teach themselves, will go against all of western society's ideologies and is a dream for a totalitarian, a leading scientist has warned. Governments which become armed with AI will be able to monitor its population fully and use algorithms to predict, and ultimately tell people, what they want.Machine learning algorithms are already used by big tech companies, who can then sell this on to third parties.When governments fully adopt this, it will be the end of western ideologies, according to Simon McCarthy-Jones, associate professor in clinical psychology and neuropsychology at Trinity College Dublin.Mr McCarthy-Jones wrote: "Individualistic western societies are built on the idea that no one knows our thoughts, desires or joys better than we do."And It will know us better than we know ourselves.
