That is a great question. I will tell you. Today, we are observing and researching all of the possible outcomes for the future of the world when it comes to AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the part that it will play in our world. And before we continue, I want you to remember something that is of great significance and of equal importance.

The direction in which we move forward with this great technological advancement will be dictated by a great many factors none of which is as prominent as the one called Human nature. If we end up with what appears to be happening at the moment – which is a small group of individual entities that are using Artificial Intelligence – not so much as a means of finding answers to global issues – but rather a means to an end. That is to say, it seems to be of a very personal direction and nature. Where the few that have the means to make great changes – with or without Artificial Intelligence – are the same ones that seem to be at the forefront of what exactly that direction may be and I suppose this is a very normal thing if viewed from afar.

Imagine a world where anybody would dictate the direction of the global future without having first hand knowledge of the processes, the very essence of any tool that would be used in any situation. Imagine that and you will have a clearer picture of what the current air of circumstances surrounding the powerful technology that calculates not only numbers but ideas and answers any question or set of formulas that you believe need to be discovered. Imagine. Because there is absolutely no inherent danger in that. It’s like the person who is winning at blackjack and can’t seem to stop even after they have lost all of their money. Only it’s much worse than that. In this instance the outcome is of the nature and precision that you as a genius level human being with the highest intellect can never hope to calculate against. So the answer would always end up being the correct one for the individual pressing the keys. Depending on how the question is phrased of course.

If you are an attorney, you have some inkling of the idea I am trying to convey to you. If you are not a lawyer but you possess even the smallest form of high intelligence, you also understand what is being said. Let me reiterate; I do not know of anybody that would use Artificial Intelligence for malicious purposes and this includes robotics folks. Robotics stands side to side with Artificial Intelligence. Robots and AI need to be a human rights issue where any human individual in the world has a clear and common right to both possess and develop Robotics and Artificial Intelligence as they see fit – provided no other laws that currently stand are broken.

It’s very simple actually. But it’s something to talk about.
