We Need A Humanitarian Vision For AI And Robotics - CityAM - AI Summary

But before we can begin to analyse and realize the potential of humanitarian AI and robotics, we have to address the most common questions that people ask about the future of human and machine collaboration. Similarly, at this inflection point of artificial intelligence and robotics, I actually think that what we are looking at is the prospect of a huge leap forward in productivity that will allow humans to accomplish more, not less. But over longer time horizons I believe that by augmenting human abilities using AI and robotics all of humanity can be much better off. By assigning robots the task of working in hazardous conditions such as poor lighting, toxic chemicals, tight spaces and heavy lifting, we can remove the risk to humans of workplace injuries. We can also use robots to assist humans, so that they can continue to work without fearing long-term health issues. This is why I've committed to take a portion of any profits realized through my investments in robotics and AI and from my Zibel Real Estate portfolio, and put them towards far more basic and urgent human needs.
