In case you needed more proof that all our jobs will one day be occupied by robots, a Hong Kong V.C. firm has just named an artificial intelligence tool to its board of directors. The company’s also insisting the tool will be treated as an “equal” to the other board members.
A press release from Aging Analytics UK, a company that conducts research on biotechnology and regenerative medicine, made two announcements this morning: first, that they’ve launched an new A.I. tool called VITAL (Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences); and second, that they’ve licensed VITAL to Hong Kong V.C. firm Deep Knowledge Ventures, where the tool will become an “equal member of its Board of Directors.”
The future has arrived! I see this going one of two ways. Either mankind will benefit heavily from this or it will be the biggest mistake ever made. AI could free us from the bondage of work and let us pursue our pasions, our dreams and do whatever we want or… it could literally make us slaves and robots will inherit the Earth. Thoughts?
