The evolution of either technology will inevitably pose existential
threats to our freedom and security.
Together their combined impact is unpredictable and virtually
incomprehensible by the best human minds.
They will also be immune to any individual, corporate, or government
control. In spite of our species profound intelligence we and our governing systems appear to be incapable of preventing even the preventable threats such as war, pandemics, global warming, species extinction, hunger, illiteracy, WMD proliferation, and terrorism.
One possibility/hope is that AI will evolve an ethical and moral consciousness that exceeds
ours thus far in our evolution. It would then eliminate or use deep fakes to engineer sustainable global systems and structures that are
based on fundamental principles (“the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” – the
self-evident truths offered in the Declaration of Independence as ‘unalienable rights’) instead of alternative principles like ‘national
sovereignty’ or ‘peace through strength’ that we humans invented.
Next it would need to hold individuals, corporations, nations and violent extremists accountable for any crimes of omission and omission that have violated such fundamental principles. Hopefully, with special emphasis on ‘liberty and justice for all’.
Having no such global justice system means inevitable and unsustainable global chaos. An condition that even AI would be unlikely to survive.
