The AI that we see and use is primitive compared to what companies, governments and militaries are developing. I saw a recent new story that stated that the AI being developed by the aforementioned is starting to take off exponentially. Some are suggesting in very serious tones that 1/3 of all jobs may be eliminated by AI. This is a potential unemployment situation that would rival or exceed the Great Depression. Even if the predictions are fractionally off, we are not prepared for the societal impact of this many people not being employed.
AI will likely not have the science fiction impact many are discussing, but it will affect every corner of our lives eventually.
