Hello @spirajn, welcome.
Wow, for better or worse? I think for both. We will see incredible advances in these matters and many of them will imply good inventions that will benefit the societies as a whole (when they become accessible for the majority).
It is fascinating the future that lies ahead, we will see many advances that will benefit the world population, especially when applied to the field of medicine, and the advances in gadgest that simplify people's lives.
But we are going to see also terrible violent uses in the hands of the powerful minorities of the world, and they (as always) will not hesitate to take advantage of this in their power games, killing masses of people, oppressing those who don 't submit to their rule and taking away our rights by many unseen ingenious ways.
This is the dangerous part of the development of this type of technology, when it is used for war uses, we have recently seen as an attack with Drones affecting the oil facilities of Saudi Arabia, limiting the production capabilities of the oil giant.
There is a good chance that these nations are developing AI programs, thinking of national defense, programs that in the wrong hands would become a real threat to the world.
In any case, the future in Artificial Intelligence matters is very promising, whether it is for better or worse, we will see it in the coming years.
Thanks for your comment!
