Künstliche intelligenz

Künstliche Intelligenz hat sich im letzten Jahrzehnt von einem Science-Fiction-Traum zu einem kritischen Teil unseres Alltags entwickelt. Wir verwenden Künstliche-Intelligenz -Systeme, um mit unseren Handys über Siri zu interagieren, Autos wie Teslas zu interpretieren. Künstlich intelligente Algorithmen sind hier, sie haben unser Leben bereits zum Besseren oder Schlechteren verändert. Aber das ist nur der Anfang, und eines Tages werden wir 2019 auf Künstliche Intelligenz zurückblicken und darüber lachen, wie primitiv es war. In erster Linie sind KI-Systeme bereits darauf vorbereitet, Millionen von Jobs zu übernehmen. Jeder Job, bei dem ein Mensch Informationen von anderen Menschen herunternimmt und in ein System eingibt, wird wahrscheinlich veraltet. So sind Kassierer, Rezeptionisten, Telemarketer und Bankangestellte auf dem Weg. Da selbstfahrende Autos, selbstfahrende Drohnen und andere Förderer von A nach B komplexer werden, verlieren wir auch Jobs wie Lastwagenfahrer, Postangestellte, Kurierdienste und sogar die Lieferung von Pizza. Fabriken werden auch voll automatisiert, ebenso Autowaschanlagen und Kinos. Sogar ein Job als Journalist ist durch die schnelle Verbesserung von Nachrichtenalgorithmen bedroht, die Informationen sammeln und schneller und genauer liefern können
