CEO of Samsung Electronics said:
“IN THE PAST TEN YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN LEADING THE GLOBAL R&D AND ARE
COMMITTED TO UNLOCKING THE POWER OF AI FOR CONSUMERS. LAST YEAR WE
INVESTED $140 MILLION IN AI RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. WE ALSO PROMISE TO
CONTINUE TO INVEST 22 BILLION US DOLLARS IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS TO
ENHANCE AI TECHNOLOGY.”
Artificial intelligence is now everywhere. Amazon opened the latest AI
revolution with its Echo smart speakers, powered by Alexa Digital
Assistant. Google and Apple are fast approaching artificial
intelligence, by launching their own set of smart speakers such as; Sri-
based HomePod, and Google Home. Samsung has its own artificial
intelligence; the name of the Digital Assistant is Bixby, which can be
seen on selected Samsung Mobiles phones.
However, Samsung is also facing a huge problem, and many people have
serious concerns for Artificial Intelligence. From technology
enthusiasts to celebrities associated with field of technology and
science have concerns about AI research.
According to Professor Stephen Hawking:
“I am worried that AI may completely replace humans. If people can
design a computer virus, then someone can design an AI that can
self-improve and replicate. This will be a transcendence of humanity.
New life form.”
Nevertheless, CEO Samsung revealed that the brand has created Artificial
Intelligence research centers in the United Kingdom, Russia, Canada,
United States, and its native Korea.
He further added: “By 2020, we expect that there will be about a
thousand AI experts working in Samsung’s labs around the world.” At the
beginning of this year, The Sun interviewed world-renowned futurist Ian
Pearson. He also warned about the risk of robots ruling the world, which
is quiet real.
And if the Artificial Intelligence finally goes astray, we humans may
have to take responsibility. Luciano Floridi, the head of the digital
laboratory at Oxford University is of the opinion that, “The real risk
of AI comes entirely from humans, such as abuse, wrong choices, bad
design, and timing of misses. If AI has problems, responsibility lies
with us. It is unique to humans. The threat is humanity, and the rest is
science fiction.” |
