Artificial Intelligence -- A Case for Strong Global Governance

Worrying about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IOT) destroying human opportunity of wealth creation today is a lot like worrying about overpopulation that could occur in Iceland, once overpopulated countries start facing civil wars, apartheid and people have no other options left but to migrate, although the feasibility of both the events happening in the coming decades is relatively high, if a strong Governance Framework is not implemented globally. At the moment nine countries pose a serious threat to technological progress and human welfare in the coming 50 years 2018–2068, these nine countries are expected to account for half of the world's projected population increase: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda and the United States of America. Out of these nine, China, Brazil and the United States have a firm resolve to slow down the growth rate by adopting the best possible methods to do it. Others will have no other option but to plan a stark reduction in human population in the coming decades. The exponential population growth and seemingly drastic reduction of Earths finite resources along with the threat of war, might restrain AI from reaching a conclusion that AI cannot keep up its pace with growing human numbers, which are detrimental to AI and human existence itself. This population growth is not a direct product of increasing population but also directly proportional to improved survival rate, lower child mortality rate and rapid improvements in the field of medicine.
