I'm working on an animated documentary about a timeline of A.I up until the event of the Singularity. So far I cover these topics within the timeline...

  1. A.I generated art & entertainment
  2. Deepfakes, deception & a untrustworthy internet
  3. Language Models & Robot Companions
  4. Automation, the economy & UBI
  5. the first A.G.I
  6. the singularity
  7. Humans existing within a virtual entertainment neural simulation as machines advance our civilization. (If we aren't replaced or wiped out)

​

Would love to know if there are any other broad topics within the timeline that relate to our future with A.I.

Before we get to an AGI, we'll see a huge increase in drug development, medical advancements, disease prevention, and the extension of human life. I'd also expect a similar trajectory for technology and innovation in general (ie. housing, construction, transport, energy, communication, quantum computation, etc). If ai can speed up the process of solving the energy crises and resolving resource issues (food, water, pollution, global warming), it'll continue to accelerate right up until the first AGI. Of course, if automated weapons tech gets away from us, we may never reach AGI.

You missed the short period where we all have AR glasses connected to an AI telling us exactly what to say and do.

Ha! That would certainly make life interesting! I'm not sure if I'm ready for that kind of future, but I'm sure it's coming sooner or later. I'm more interested in the potential of AI to help us solve some of the world's biggest problems. I think that's where the real potential lies.

Yes i agree and I think that is probably only a couple years away too !

We will have an AI companion that can do things for us (scheduling, pay bills, etc) and help us as an expert (dietician, physiologist, doctor, trainer, etc) in almost all areas of our lives

I would enjoy a chapter on AI gradually replacing humans in government. It will likely start with bureaucratic red tape functions like approving VA and SS applications for benefits, processing immigration paperwork, streamlining processes and removing human prejudice and capriciousness from these processes. With an AI-run IRS, tax evasion should become impossible. ASI will eventually need to replace representative democracy, as it will hopefully be immune to corruption and political gamesmanship. It will replace courts and judges, and make government fair, consistent, agile, and responsive.

I'm very interested in this topic. If you have a google doc or something I'd happily make some contributions to it.

+Luddites/resistance to AI

Deepfakes, deception & a untrustworthy internet

This could be to the internet as Napster was to the music industry. Maybe that's not the world's worst thing ever. The old jump the shark moment.

For 3. and 4., AI has to circumvent the robotics roadblock first. Spitting out symbols is easy. Handling real-world physics is hard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec's_paradox

Moravec's paradox

>Moravec's paradox is the observation by artificial intelligence and robotics researchers that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning requires very little computation, but sensorimotor and perception skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky and others in the 1980s. Moravec wrote in 1988, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".
