What if one day, artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and begins making decisions for us? It may seem like a scenario straight out of a science fiction movie, but it’s a possibility that’s becoming increasingly real. As AI continues to advance, the question of who’s in control becomes more pressing. Christian Briggs, host of On The Record with Christian Briggs, recently explored the implications of AI on human decision-making and the potential risks and consequences of relying too heavily on technology.

The Current State of AI

According to Christian Briggs, AI is already making decisions for us in various aspects of our lives. ‘The decision making is already starting and established,’ he says. ‘For example, there are some medical procedures now where over 15 to 20% are AI or robotic with AI intelligence as the part of which that actually does the almost taking away the doctors.’

Briggs also notes that AI is being used in transportation, with autonomous vehicles and drones becoming increasingly common. While these advancements have the potential to improve efficiency and safety, they also raise important questions about accountability and control.

The Risks of Over-Relying on AI

As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, there’s a risk that we’ll become too dependent on it. Briggs warns that this could lead to a decline in human intelligence and critical thinking skills. ‘We’re already seeing IQ levels start to go down because dependency is starting to,’ he says. ‘We’re using it in day-to-day tasks and not realizing the dependency we’re creating is basically going to be a part of our own IQ demise unless we re-engineer this to where we’re not completely dependent on a decision being made by a computer.’

The Need for Safeguards

Given the potential risks and consequences of AI, it’s essential that we establish safeguards to ensure that we’re not losing control. Briggs suggests that we need to be careful about how we’re using AI and make sure that we’re not giving away too much power. ‘Once you give that away, it’s hard to get it back,’ he says.

In conclusion, the rise of artificial intelligence raises important questions about who’s in control. As AI continues to advance, it’s essential that we establish safeguards to ensure that we’re not losing control. By being aware of the potential risks and consequences, we can work to create a future where AI enhances human life without compromising our autonomy.
