We need to start thinking about how to relate to artificial intelligences.

The value of the global business derived from Artificial Intelligence (AI) will total $1.2 trillion in 2018, with a 70 percent increase from 2017, according to Gartner, Inc. and the value of the entire AI business will reach $3.9 trillion in 2022.

We will be increasingly surrounded by non-human intelligences who will support us in the conduct, writing of chronicles, judicial decisions and so on. Faced with this new panorama, we must not only begin to consider how to relate to all these new intelligences, but also demand transparency in the algorithms that underlie them.

The good AI

How will we manage them? How will we interact with them? How will they influence us? How will we influence them? There are many issues that we still have to clear up, and we will have to do so urgently, as different developments take place. We will also have to map out various scenarios and agree on how we will deal with them.

Nick Bostrom, director of the Institute for the Future of Humanity at the University of Oxford, alludes to various arguments for our prudent approach to the AI, as he writes in his book Superinteligencia: caminos, peligros, estrategias:

Faced with the prospect of an explosion of intelligence, we humans are like children playing with a bomb. Such is the disproportion between the power of our toy and the immaturity of our behavior. Superintelligence is a challenge for which we are not prepared and will not be for a long time to come. We have no idea when the explosion will occur, but if we approach the device to the ear we can hear a slight ticking, ticking, ticking.

In order to contribute to this reflection on what awaits us and the challenges we will have to face, multidisciplinary meetings are being held more and more frequently to address the subject from a philosophical to a technological point of view. In this spirit, there will be some talks to which you have been kind enough to invite me.

Promoted by the Association My Universal Value and organized by the University of Malaga, a Specialist Meeting will be held on July 10 and 11 in Ronda, Spain, focused on the dialogue on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. The Meeting of Specialists called The Good Artificial Intelligence will address, among other issues, the ethical and legal implications of autonomous driving, the changes that the growing relevance of AI will have in the labor market, as well as the emergence of new professions.

Sponsored by Banco de Santander and the International Association of Science and Technology Parks (IASP), the Summer Course at the University of Malaga will highlight this emerging issue: the need for an ethical approach to fast-growing technologies with high economic and social impact.

The first Symposium, which I am pleased to moderate, will be Artificial Intelligence and Science Fiction: An Ethical and Epic Exercise, where I will moderate the following participants: Andrés Contreras (specialist in BigData, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence), Asunción Gómez Pérez (Doctorate and Professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and member of the group of wise men of the Spanish government's strategy for Artificial Intenligence, Jesús Fernández L. (Professor of Systems and Automatic Engineering at the University of Málaga) and Joaquín García Weill (Philosopher by the UMA and Co-founder of MiVu Lab). Here you can also consult the complete programme.

@difelice5000 AI is future.

That's right, there are already many applications of the ia that are changing things.

Hope we see major changes in technology.
