AI ( artificial intelligence ) was founded as an academic discipline in 1956. At its simplest form, AI ( artificial intelligence ) is a field, which combines computer science and robust datasets, to enable problem-solving. It also encompasses sub-fields of machine learning and deep learning, which are frequently mentioned in conjunction with AI ( artificial intelligence ).
Current AI ( artificial intelligence ) include advanced web search engines; example Google Search, recommendation systems; like the once used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix, understanding human speech; like Siri and Alexa, self-driving cars, generative or creative tools; such as ChatGPT and AI art, automated decision-making, and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems like chess and Go. Future AI ( artificial intelligence ) may include, military weapon systems, surveillance systems, education systems, manufacturing systems, deep ocean and space exploration systems.

How smart is AI
AI can process information at an incredible rate and does not forget unless the information is deleted or removed from its database. AI can do tasks at a much faster speed than humans and answer questions must faster than humans.
AI however does have several flaws. Its database is constructed by humans and contains human errors, political agendas, and human bias. The information relayed by an AI system can not be viewed as 100% accurate nor can it be viewed as the gospel truth.
Job loss and how it can be prevented
The fact is whether you like it or not, AI will trigger a economic collapse due to the decrease in total purchasing power, job losses and the crime which normally follows mass unemployment. Most only focus on the potential destructive nature of AI or the propaganda use of, or the possibility that AI can be come a god to those who worship science and technology, very few ever discuses the potential economic impact of AI and automated systems.
Example: 1000 robots and or automated systems will take the jobs of 1000 people but will only create 3 new jobs. These 3 jobs will be higher paying jobs, but it came at the cost of 997 other jobs. In time the systems will fix themselves. It is very clear that this is a recipe for mass unemployment and poverty. In time AI and automated systems will acquire the resources needed to maintain them, manufacture the parts and in time even fit the parts themselves, with no human interaction, and zero jobs. Why would parents send their children to school if no jobs are available, how would people take part in the economy if they have no income to spend, how would business even exist without paying customers?
There are only 2 possible solutions: (1) (Not Recommended) Heavy tax on business so that the government can pay the citizens, to spend money at the businesses. However there will be a lot of waste in such a system and businesses still need to pay for updates, to software and the material used to build and maintain the AI and automated systems which means they will have less money to pay toward tax which leads to very low incomes. This in return will result in a weak economy.
(2) The government can limit the legal use of AI and automated systems to ensure employment and can pass laws for each business sector and require that they pay no less than a specific number of people according to turnover made and the business sector they fall under. This should be well regulated to ensure, that businesses do not pay salaries to the same people but different people. This will also, over some time, realize Nicola Tesla’s vision, that AI will do all the work while you can sit at home pursuing your hobbies. This will bring the question into play, why get an education if there are no jobs available? To ensure that the population continues their basic education, a law can be passed, stating that you can only become a beneficiary of an employer if you have a grade 10 education. We recommend this education system.
AI’s effect on the Internet
In time people will use AI when looking up any topic. AI does not click on ads and only visits sites or databases its program directs it to. Posts like this one, on small sites like Angelic Scorn, will never be visited by AI unless its program tells it to do so.
Due to the loss of Advertising revenue, most internet sites will close down. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing will disappear. Google Maps will most likely be part of a new Google AI navigation system, while the Google search engine will most likely be discontinued because it will no longer generate enough revenue.
Information internet sites like Wikipedia will no longer receive donations or money from ad revenue and will shut down due to a lack of funds.
In time as most of the internet starts to go bankrupt, the dominating AI providers will be forced to build data centers for their AI’s. The companies will then decide what data and viewpoints they would like their AI to feed people (Mass Propaganda risk). Many of them will also pay universities, research centers, and scientist to publish their papers on their data centers to claim that their AI is the smartest.
So which websites will still be available if the world as we know it does not come to an end in the next 30 years? By 2055 there is a strong possibility that only the following types of websites will remain while all the others will be replaced by AI services: Religious websites, Gaming Communities, Dating websites, Retail and Service websites, and subscription-based video and music streaming services. Even public squares like X and Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook will be replaced by AI services. The AI provider will give you, your own space for a subscription fee, where you can post your ideas, videos, and photos at voice command. the government will most likely have an AI service provider contract, where all the government information can be accessed. Many retailers will also have contracts with AI service providers; so that the AI can recommend their products. AI providers will be a monopoly online, and generate massive amounts of money for its owners and shareholders.
AI propaganda Use
AI owners will have full control over the information their systems share, which means if the future is anything like today, the information will be half-truths, left-leaning, and cover-ups.
Centralized power
Those who control the AI systems and the database will control most of the information; and will have a big say in where most people will shop, go on holiday, and which advertising they will allow. A handful of people will indirectly control almost all of society. How they think, what they believe to be true, and even have a big influence on how you live your life and where you spend your money.
AI military
In the future; you will have several, military AI-operated drones that will asset troops on the frontline. Warfare will never be the same again.
Powering AI
AI needs a massive amount of energy to work to full capacity. China has already started to build new power plants and the USA under Trump will do the same. Sadly the rest of the world is currently in the dark, which will result in these two countries dominating cyberspace and the flow of information.
This many believe is the real reason why the USA has withdrawn from the Paris Climate agenda, because those with the most energy, the biggest AI data centers, and the most advanced AI systems are set to rule the world. In time once Europe realizes what is going on the Paris Climate Agreement will be completely removed and they will have to play catch-up by that time it will most likely be too late, and it could take them and the rest of the world decades to catch up.
