Technology, finance, and law will dictate the pace of the AI revolution. Are you ready?

March 30, 2024

The AI revolution is just getting started. Like the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution, the AI revolution will not happen overnight. Humans will have time to adapt. As AI continues to advance, it will reach a point of maturity when it will be able to fully replace human labor in all economic fields. Opposite to the industrial revolution, the AI revolution will replace knowledge workers before manual labor. The pace of the AI revolution will be dictated mainly by technological, financial, and legal factors. Smart humans will adapt and become "ADEPT" (artistic developers - entrepreneurial producers - trainers) prospering and living well in the times of AI.  

There will be many factors interplaying with the AI revolution. Not unlike the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution, the AI revolution will not happen overnight. The AI revolution will take decades to mature and will endure for centuries to come. There is no way back. Progress is unidirectional and the move towards increasing convenience is unstoppable. Three main factors will dictate the pace of the AI revolution and AI's ability to fully replace human labor in all economic fields.

      1. Technological Obstacles. Not all human occupations are created equal. From a technological standpoint, it will take longer for AI to replace some human occupations than others. Interestingly, knowledge workers will be technologically replaceable faster than manual workers. In that sense, the AI revolution will be the opposite of the industrial revolution. In the industrial revolution, machines replaced animal labor, but did not replace knowledge-based workers. In the AI revolution, knowledge workers will be easier to replace than manual ones because it is easier to develop and train AI bots than to develop and train AI robots. An AI bot is a bodiless robot. AI bot is computerized intelligence over servers and the internet. An AI robot is a mechanical macro scale machine housing or receiving AI. The full integration of AI bots into AI robots will be the turning point of the AI revolution. 

    2. Financial Obstacles. One thing is technological capability and another one altogether is financial or economic viability. It will take many decades before it is financially viable (economically feasible and profitable) to design and produce mass amounts of AI robots to do all the jobs performed by humans today. Industrial robots will most likely precede residential ones. Just like computers industrial ones will precede personal ones. Eventually, of course, personal AI robots will be ubiquitous in advanced human societies. Tell me how many AI robots you have and I'll tell you who you are will become a measuring gauge for countries, economies, industries, businesses, and households. AI robots will be like cars today. They will be everywhere. Cars, by the way, will also become self-driving AI robots coordinating transportation and all sorts of logistics support for human societies of the future. 

    3. Legal Obstacles. Besides technological and financial viability, there is also legal allowability. As AI continues to advance and change society, there will be calls for laws to either accelerate or slow down AI. Different countries will have different laws about AI. Within countries, different economic sectors and special interests will push for different laws and regulations regarding AI. Some legal battles may become very contentious and polarizing. AI will be the new "slave" dividing public opinion. Just like  the industrial revolution led to the end of slavery, and the issue led to civil war in the United States, the AI revolution and the new AI "slavery" may lead to legal battles that may escalate into armed conflict. 

The AI future is being created today. Those who can adapt and become "ADEPT" (artistic developers - entrepreneurial producers - trainers of AI) will most likely fare very well. Don't miss out. Stay tuned.

Will AI enslave or free humans?

April 9, 2024 Who knows. The most likely scenario is that AI will free humans, not only from forced work for survival and that AI may become the new "slave". AI may also help humans turn into a more advanced (less biological and more artificial) species. Chances are that no human who is alive today will ever see that form of transhumanism materialize. Some current humans may likely live in a transitional phase where AI will continue replacing human workers in every field, allowing humans more free time to become the new "slave masters" on Earth.  We have discussed in many past articles slavery as one of the foundational technologies (tools and methods) developed by humans. All great human civilizations were built on the backs of slaves and slavery-based agricultural economies. The machines of the industrial revolution eventually replaced slaves and freed them globally. AI is the new "slave" and will lead to a new "slavery-based" economy that will

What is AI, what is the Problem Paradox, what are problems and what are solutions?

January 20, 2024  Artificial intelligence (AI) is human-like computerized problem-solving ability.  The Problem Paradox is that the solutions to problems create more problems, which are oftentimes more complex than the original ones. AI will become humanity's problem-solving utility of choice. AI will solve problems faster than any human--or all of humanity for that matter--could ever solve alone. This means that AI will create more problems faster than any previous technology in the history of humanity. This will be nerve wracking for many, and also an incredible business opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors. This article explores what are problems, what are solutions, and what are common problem-solving techniques. It continues introducing the Creatix Medium's concept of the Problem Paradox and begins to drop a new Creatix concept about the AI of Everything. Let us know what you think. AI is the latest "fad" in computer science, and the hottest bubble craze i

Can the essence of animal life be programmed into AI?

September 22, 2023 Yes, the essence of animal life can be programmed into AI.  The first step would be determining what is the essence of animal life. As everything else in this universe, life seems to be related to balancing or neutralizing opposite states. Opposites refer to symmetrical antithesis in value. This universe seems to work by dynamically interplaying opposite states. That could be opposite spin, direction, charge, force, etc.  Animal life seems to hinge on the dynamic balancing of opposite electrochemical impulses produced by the brain. These two opposite impulses are what humans refer to as "pain' and "pleasure". Everything an animal life is controlled by pain and pleasure. Everything an animal, including all humans, have ever done in history, are doing today, and will do tomorrow is utterly controlled by the dynamic interplay of painful and pleasurable electrochemical impulses orchestrated by the brain.  The pain / pleasure pathways are inherited (gen
