# The Hype and Threat of Artificial Intelligence
## Introduction
The fear-mongering around artificial intelligence (AI) is reminiscent of Arthur C Clarke’s story about monks utilizing computers to expedite a divine task, ultimately leading to the universe’s end. The hype surrounding AI’s potential often obscures the real dangers that lie elsewhere.
## Key Points:
– The monks in Arthur C Clarke’s story utilize computers to speed up a divine task, revealing the consequences of seeking shortcuts and ultimate meaning through technology.
– OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022 brought AI technology closer to resembling human intelligence, sparking various reactions from different sectors.
– Microsoft Canada’s president, Chris Barry, highlights the transformative impact of AI on society, causing panic among artists, writers, governments, and academics.
## Final Thoughts:
While the advancements in AI are undoubtedly remarkable, it is essential not to fall for the hype surrounding its capabilities. Rather than fearing a computer-driven apocalypse, it is crucial to focus on the responsible development and usage of AI to ensure it serves humanity positively. As we navigate this AI-driven future, let’s not lose sight of our own intelligence and adaptability in steering the course of technology for the betterment of society.
