You are regarded as a game changer, you are very influential and seemingly, so it comes down to me here, you are aware of your influence and responsibility.
Today people are talking about Silicon Valley and the groundbreaking changes that technology is bringing. I'd like to know:
Do you find code changes the world in which we organic humans live?
If yes, did it occur to you to ask the people through their political representatives in the government, apart from the impression the politicians themselves may make to you as advocates of the fact that the "free market" is in a better position to make decisions about human lives through technology?
Have you ever thought - maybe even against your own convictions - to inquiring about the consequences of the technological scale you initiated and are about to initiate through democratic processes from the stakeholders themselves, who are us, the people?
Have you ever heard anything about the "common good economy", which can do a democratic political process about the decision by means of the least personal pain a person can feel?
This means, for example, that committees of all ages and races of all nations are formed by people who pursue the following question:
Should algorithms be allowed to decide on philosophical questions of human existence?
For if this is not a question discussed thoroughly between many people who is going to be responsible for the unknown consequences? Should such as the use of self-propelled cars and other AI applications be determined by corporations, i.e. few minorities, because they have the developmental skills and investment power?
Has it occurred to you, Google, that because of your entrepreneurial activity and the unpredictable effects of your application technologies, it is necessary to have a politically ethical and philosophical debate and that this is part of corporate social responsibility towards humanity?
If humans become redundant in their activities as useful and common creatures through the use of artificial intelligence, do they not have to help decide whether this is not a question that should not be solely the curious and entrepreneurial activity of Google or Amazon, for example? But a matter of people who represent people outside of corporations?
The industrial revolution has largely replaced man's physical labour.
Humanity replaced this gap with intellectual and cognitive work.
The technological revolution is in the process of replacing man's cognitive abilities.
The question is: what will remain?
Remember, in the moment when humans lose their usefulness as physically and cognitive (thinking and feeling) significant beings, they lose all their political power.
Only when people can refuse to do a work, go on strike and it has a real impact on their fellow human beings can they exert political influence. But if they are not needed physically or cognitively: What then happens to people emotionally? What happens to humans who see themselves replaced by artificial intelligence?
What do you think, Google, of the view that intelligence and consciousness have always formed a unity in humans and that you and other IT giants are now able to decouple these two from each other? Because artificial intelligence is never consciousness.
