"The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment." - Warren Bennis

Federico Santarelli's curator insight, May 2, 2020 11:27 AM
Thank you for share this quote of Warren Bennis (also him was died in 2014?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Bennis personally I could propose honest elaboration in conscience on this centralized theory on the dog, on the nourishment of the dog, hidden from the man therefore, canine theory, theory that aims to make the lonely man in the company of a hungry and relatively fidelity dog (the fidelity of the dog is important but the farm cannot be made only by a man who feeds his (?!) dog and the dog works in the ignorance of man, it is a bit too weird theory, I allowed myself the criticism, especially if we consider that the dog can be seduced by females and become infidel but the man who lives a lifetime feeding a dog, alone and with "dissociated" skills, is not good, this is the future that you, Warren Bennis, would like for you ? Because your words could only "draw" your future, not mine :-)

How the Enlightenment Ends

How the Enlightenment Ends | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

Philosophically, intellectually—in every way—human society is unprepared for the rise of artificial intelligence. 

 

"What would be the impact on history of self-learning machines—machines that acquired knowledge by processes particular to themselves, and applied that knowledge to ends for which there may be no category of human understanding? Would these machines learn to communicate with one another? How would choices be made among emerging options? Was it possible that human history might go the way of the Incas, faced with a Spanish culture incomprehensible and even awe-inspiring to them? Were we at the edge of a new phase of human history?".

Dennis Swender's insight:
Dr Henry Kissinger's warnings on AI and IoT suggest "consequences we have failed to fully reckon with, and whose culmination may be a world relying on machines powered by data and algorithms and ungoverned by ethical or philosophical norms."
 
Kissinger asks, "will AI’s decision making surpass the explanatory powers of human language and reason? Through all human history, civilizations have created ways to explain the world around them—in the Middle Ages, religion; in the Enlightenment, reason; in the 19th century, history; in the 20th century, ideology. The most difficult yet important question about the world into which we are headed is this: What will become of human consciousness if its own explanatory power is surpassed by AI, and societies are no longer able to interpret the world they inhabit in terms that are meaningful to them?"
