Three years later, I stand by that opening statement, and not just because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the tech-driven societal changes that have taken place seemingly due to the pandemic were already on the way and have only been accelerated, proven viable, or made more visible by the pandemic. Let’s take a look and see how my five predictions have fared.
1.) Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The traditional fear about artificial intelligence has AI becoming sentient and deciding that humans are a blight on the world. My position back in 2019 was a little different than that trope. I said that AI would bring out the worst in us and that we would manipulate and abuse AI to everyone’s detriment. Understanding that this is a technology article and no in any way a political statement, I would have to say that the last few years have made me even more sure of my position on this.
While there are some folks using AI to improve our quality of life and to automate mundane activities, an increasing number are using it to sell us things we don’t need and get under our skin politically. Not all manipulation has nefarious intent, but it is increasingly used to overshoot other perspectives. We all like to think that our hearts are in the right place and that we know best, but we should understand by now that there are so many different definitions for concepts like “good” and “right.”
