Toffler Redux: A Third Wave of Artificial Intelligence. Did We Miss Waves One and Two?
February 28, 2018
Artificial Intelligence is becoming a daily part of life, heck maybe even a minute-by-minute part of life depending on how you spend your days. However, this technology didn’t simply drop out of the sky and into our phones and computers. We are actually in the midst of a 60-year story of the technology that is actually evolving right in front of our eyes. We learned more from Sung-Soo Kim’s blog and its recent history, “Artificial Intelligence 3.0—The Third Wave of AI.”
What does AI 3.0 look like? Here’s how Kim put it:
“All digital, connected and open technologies raise issues of security and cyber security. A useful combination of AI approaches and techniques is likely to be the subject of further experimentation in coming years. One example might be the use of AI-based tutoring and immersive systems, along with game technology to enhance education and training.”
AI is becoming integrated into our lives and we are currently undergoing a disruption. As can be expected, this scares a lot of people. While it is true that AI will likely replace a lot of manual jobs over the coming decade, one area of hope gets overlooked routinely. Many are saying that the third wave of AI will actually create jobs, lots of jobs, and soon. According to Gartner Research, by 2020 AI will create 2.3 million new jobs. So, perhaps, it’s time to take a breath and find a way to make this new wave of tech work for us instead of against us.
