Should I Worry About... the philosophy behind AI?

In the late 1940s, pioneering computer genius Alan Turing proposed that a computer can be said to possess artificial intelligence if it can fool a human into thinking it is real by mimicking human responses under specific conditions. But what if human responses are greed, hatred and ruthlessly self-serving dominance over others? At the heart of that question is fear of technology, one which science fiction writer Isaac Asimov had already attempted to pacify in his 1942 Three Laws of Robotics, the first of which is that a robot may not allow a human being to come to harm. The question is, do we - the public - believe and trust that Artificial Intelligence will not be used, by either authorities or corporations, for their own benefit rather than ours? As writer and broadcaster Paul Mason tells CGTN, "The basic philosophical problem posed by artificial intelligence is this: On whose behalf are we developing this stuff? And what kind of society does it assume it's going to create?"
