On Monday we held a multitudinary chat about AI at work , as I was going through the presentation I mentioned than this technology has the potential to solve the world most complex problems.
As you might expect the typical examples where shown, quickly bringing optimisms in the room.
After the session ended I kept thinking about other examples that could share the optimism for different industries and then it hit me …
What if AI helps us solve some necessary problems that we have worked hard to create.
Before you think about a fatalistic outcome think about one of the first problems modern Computers helped solve, Encryption !(watch the imitation game with Benedict Cumberbatch if you need a refresher, such a good movie ).
What if AI helps us solve Encryption faster than quantum computing comes with an alternative?
or what if randomness becomes even more scarce , bringing a vulnerability on some of the key technologies we used to day?
In the end it might be that I love a good 🔨 and see everything at work as a nail, but the power of solving such big issues might need some additional thoughts from ourselves as a community.
LMKYT , does things like encryption, anonymity, “true luck”, or gambling matter to you ?
