Link: Our AI near-future

We are two years into a shift as significant as the first industrial revolution, surfacing varied predictions on the impact of artificial intelligence. Although some forecasts are overly optimistic and others quite bleak, we can begin to discern the potential implications.

Artificial intelligence won't bring about utopia or human demise in the immediate future. Instead, we're entering a period marked by significant instability.

AI technologies are evolving quickly, showing increasingly sophisticated capabilities. Despite the advancements in current models and ongoing efforts to enhance AI through various means, we have a long way to go.

Current AI is still significantly limited, unable to perform simple tasks like cooking a meal or walking a dog. Fears of a malevolent AI overtaking human endeavors are premature.

The outcome of the AI revolution will largely depend on how well and swiftly our human institutions adapt to this technological surge. Right now, technology is outpacing these institutions significantly.

As AI continues to advance, the balance between technological progression and institutional adaptation will be critical in determining the broader impact on society. #
