Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) offers benefits and risks.
Though we are at the dawn of this new technology, it is already affecting human experience.
A.I. is produced by powerful, resource-guzzling computer complexes.
Simply locating such infrastructure in a region has consequences for that region, including:
- increased fresh water consumption
- increased commercial electric power cost.
Beyond that specific region, there are global affects.
Fundamental computer components such as mechanical hard drives, and Silicon computer chip costs are increasing substantially, the inevitable consequence of "supply & demand" market forces.
We're automating such tasks as driving a car, with imperfect results so far.
But innovations continue, with prospect of benefit and peril attending.
Will A.I. lower the cost of the next toaster-oven you buy?
Are there breakthroughs in the future of A.I. that will revolutionize our modern human experience?
After the problems with driverless cars are resolved, what's next?
If machines do all the work, how will humans get their $paychecks?
