Artificial Philosophy

The future is now. Artificial "machine" intelligence is playing an ever-greater role in our society. We are already using cruise control in our cars and automatic checkout at the drugstore and are unable to live without our smartphones. The discussion around AI is largely polarized; people think either machines will solve all problems for everyone or they will lead us down a dark, dystopian path into total human irrelevance. Regardless of what you believe, the idea that we might bring forth intelligent creation can be intrinsically frightening.

COVID-19 has created a truly unprecedented world in which digital technology has been thrust to the forefront of everyone's lives.

In the following pages you will find out why this will most likely happen.
