I see it more as complimentary to a number of roles such as marketing etc, and it taking a more prominent roles in industries such as lab work, research, driving.

"I'm worried about a scenario in which the future will be for AI, and people will stay away," worries David Chalmers, a philosophy professor at New York University. — If the world is taken over by unconscious robots, it will be exactly the catastrophic and gloomy scenario that you imagine"
Aaron O'Leary
@elina_rappu Getting terminator vibes from this quote, but I suppose it isn't hard to imagine a scenario where our own hubris leads us to develop something that develops a motive to take over
Raju Sivaram
@elina_rappu @aaronoleary Yep, I feel we will be watching a live show of terminator everyday
Anil Meena
@elina_rappu Sounds so scifi.. but I think it would be difficult to happen. At the end humans like to spend time with each others, and thats the beauty of consciousness. AI will certainly support humans in various activity and ease our day to day life more.
Sonali
@elina_rappu That is highly unlikely! AI will never be the reason for human doom, it would be humans themselves.

I think where it shines best is in a combination with a human. A good example, e.g., is GitHub Copilot. An extension to code editors for programmers, it tries to guess what the programmer wants to write and writes it for the programmer. If a human writes code on their own, there are certain chunks that are tedious to write and that you look up online anyway. Like finding a difference between two dates in days. An AI can autocomplete it for you, saving a ton of time. If an AI writes code on its own completely, it's going to make dumb mistakes, getting slight nuances wrong. But you can combine a human with an AI: allow AI to do its job while having the results validated by a human. That saves a human a ton of time while producing good results. I don't believe AI will ever be on-par with a human – something they call "general AI". The way current AI works is very different from the way a brain works, and we don't understand the brain to begin with. There haven't been any major breakthroughs in the AI area in the past years – only incremental improvements. The reason it is hyping is because big companies like Google accumulated a lot of top world talent to make those incremental improvements for them – so that in particular applications, AI becomes extremely good, such as guessing a target audience for a facebook ad. I believe that to make something like a human, you need an entire planet like the Earth and billions of years of evolution. Modern AI technology may excel in particular applications, but won't cut it when it comes to generality. A breakthrough is needed to change this, and there are currently no precursors to indicate it is happening any time soon.

@anatoliik Love this answer I definitely find myself agreeing here!
Wayne Smallman
Hi @anatoliik, I think the common understanding of AGI is a more powerful algorithm, but I think of an algorithm as one lobe in a brain, which — like the visual or motor cortex — is adept and powerful, but limited in isolation. Our brains are an amalgamation of multiple lobes working in unison, out of which amazing things emerge.
@anatoliik I agree with this and think it's how AI will really be used. It'll make new tools available across multiple areas. we're a long way off it replacing anyone just yet, right now it can be a boost to how we work.
Anil Meena
@anatoliik Being to able to automate coding will be a huge leap in humanity progress.

I see AI becoming a tool built into many other tools. For example spell checker. It is crazy cool but we don't really think about it anymore. I wrote about finding and testing AI tools (44 in total) here - https://mythicalai.substack.com/... There are maybe a few areas that AI could disrupt further. But I don't think AI is going to break many industries as much as augment them.
Lumayris Sarmiento
@joshdance It's true, I hadn't thought about it but it blew my mind when I can read your comment thanks to google translate. I am practicing English but you are so right.
Chetan Natesh
Extremely difficult to say because it's like how it would have been for someone trying to predict how the internet would pan out in 1990, only much harder. I think the need of the hour right now is prudence and character. For example, How do we make sure AI is NOT biased against a particular group? will there be regulations that certify whether it is or not, that kind of stuff.
Denis Dybsky
well, AI itself says the following: "There is no one answer to this question as the future of A.I. is highly dependent on the direction of research and development. Some believe that A.I. will eventually lead to machines that are capable of human-like or even superhuman intelligence, while others believe that the technology will remain largely within the confines of narrow and specific domains" Credit - GPT-3 answer

I believe AI is the future of almost EVERYTHING! Nowadays, we see AI in art, fashion, design, business, marketing, and social media management... For example, Socialays has launched its free app that helps you manage your social media accounts with AI software. Socialays's AI reads all of your social media accounts' comments and categorizes them by their sentiments automatically; such as positive, neutral, negative, spam, and even question. It also detects any abusive or hateful content on your social media comments, and blocks or hides them instantly - according to your preferences...

I believe the future of AI is very promising. AI will do the heavy lifting for us humans, making our lives much simpler. Most things will be automated. The most important thing is to pay attention to the ethics of AI. Every time you teach a computer using your data, you better be sure that you don't teach it anything you don't want it to learn and remember.
Raju Sivaram
A.I is going to be part of our lives no matter what in every conceivable field. This would apply more first to humanities like elder care, healthcare and then mostly into our daily mundane tasks
Igor Sadkin
I think that the future is bright. You see, A.I. technology is actually becoming more and more important every day as society becomes more and more connected... And it's going to be more and more powerful and smart. So what we need to do is start thinking and planning now. We need to think about the problems that we want to solve. And when we're solving those problems, we have to think about how we can make those solutions as useful and as helpful as possible.
Mia Umanos
@igor_sadkin Agree. using AI to take tasks the keeps us from other humans is a wonderful example. Like, if I didn't have this task, I could get to my kids faster. etc.
Csaba Zajdo
Artificial intelligence will eliminate some jobs that consist mostly of low-level and repetitive tasks. It will also enhance people's jobs, creating new opportunities for individuals to pursue their passions.
Surekha S
@zajdo_csaba Agree, rather than taking over tasks, AI will definitely help reduce workload and help people focus on more important things. And not just in marketing but in multiple fields.
Ishwar Jha
I have been observing the technology update, upgrade and innovations since 1990. Every time something new comes up, there are section of society that starts threatening the humanity with its adverse impacts. However, I have seen that new technologies helps you become more smarter, better and faster. I feel AI is also going to do the same. It will coexist alongside humanity and help them automate certain mundane tasks so that people can focus on important things. Also, it is opening new opportunities to learn new skills, develop new capabilities and get more things done (well through automation).

It is difficult to predict the exact future of artificial intelligence (A.I.), as it is a rapidly advancing field with many potential developments and applications. However, A.I. will likely continue to become increasingly advanced and sophisticated in the coming years, leading to new and exciting developments in various fields. One potential area where A.I. could have a significant impact is in the field of medicine. A.I. systems could analyze large amounts of medical data, such as patient records and medical images, to identify patterns and provide insights that can help doctors diagnose and treat diseases more accurately and effectively. A.I. could also be used to develop personalized treatment plans for patients, considering their unique medical histories and individual needs.
Anil Meena
There are so many possibilities. If with just a handful of open AI APIs, we are seeing so many new products. The future is going to be filled with so much of new scopes. Especially repetitive work would be the first get the major breakthrough. Some products I feel which are - Avatar based youtube or tiktok videos - Self evolving storyline in games
Harshavardhan Reddy
With AI, we can expect to see magnitude of improvement in what can be accomplished. Personally I feel that no innovation should over take Humans and make us dependable on them. Yes AI enables an unprecedented ability to analyze enormous data sets and computationally discover complex relationships and patterns. There are advantages with Artificial Intelligence. ->Error reduction in decision making because the decision prediction is based on algorithms. This is supplemented with quick decision making ->AI helps in places where working conditions are not safe for human beings ->AI-based applications are boon for physically handicapped people Risk-taking will be easy where humans are exposed to Critical Missions. like Space Exploration, scientific researches etc... Artificial Intelligence is gaining importance everywhere and innovative ideas on its applications make life easier for many. The same technology can be used to inflict injustice to mankind resulting in catastrophic consequences as discussed. Humans created AI but if it goes in wrong ways the threat to mankind cannot be altered.
Tibor Szantai
A.I will have a significant impact on the future because it is actually revolutionizing the way we do things now. It will soon control our homes, our cars, and even our bodies. Thankfully, it's a positive change and will make people's lives easier, but it will also change how people work. I believe that it could eliminate the need for many menial jobs such as those in the service industry, but that's the good news. The bad news is that it could also take jobs away from one of the highest-paid professions, a doctor. A.I will take over the tedious processes of doctors and do it better, faster, and cheaper. It can even diagnose diseases better than some doctors can.
Shivam Rathore
I think it mainly depends on the research and willingness of making them available and accessible to everyone. We have already seen the boom after the open availability of Stable Diffusion models.
Alessandro Valentini
I believe the future of digital marketing will be fully automated and piloted by AI. At some point, you will only have to tell the AI what's your business about, and it will create a dynamic website, social media profiles, including copy, microcopy, visual assets, logo, and campaigns, and automatically monitor, test variances and deliver conversion rate optimised content depending on the user. The entire Adobe enterprise ecosystem has been basically promising exactly that with Sensei AI. Honestly, I don't see AI slowing down anytime soon. We're in Q422 and if I compare all the available tools today with Q121... damn, things have evolved FAST
Daniel Burns
AI is already making its way into almost every aspect of our lives, subtle but consistent. If given the opportunity, AI can take over everything requiring a high level of manpower, bring the consumer experience to a whole new level, and the climate crisis we're facing can also be taken care of.
Swapnil Vats
I see it as adding speed to our tasks but not entirely picking up tasks as of yet. e.g - Generative AI for content will help write copies faster.
