Calum Chace, an expert in artificial intelligence (AI) and member of the Future Trends Forum at the Bankinter Innovation Foundation, explores the profound social impact of AI. In his lecture “The social impact of Artificial Intelligence,” he discusses key issues such as technological unemployment and the potential emergence of superintelligence—machines with intelligence surpassing that of humans. Chace also addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by a future economy of radical abundance, where machines perform most work, fundamentally altering society and the concept of human labor.
Chace explains AI in accessible terms, highlighting its current applications and forecasting its development in the coming years. He theorizes that within decades, machines with human-level intelligence may be created, eventually leading to superintelligence. Such an advancement would mark humanity’s greatest achievement since agriculture but also raise profound questions about human identity and our place in the world. Calum Chace shares his ongoing insights on AI through talks and his blog, Pandora’s Brain, offering valuable perspectives on how AI might shape our future.
Calum Chace, an expert in artificial intelligence, explains what this technology consists of and what its possible present and future applications are.
We interviewed Calum Chace, a member of the Future Trends Forum, the think tank of the Bankinter Innovation Foundation and an expert in artificial intelligence. Calum is a consultant and also writes and lectures about this technology and the impact it has on people.
Calum participated as a speaker at the Future Trends Forum ‘The machine revolution‘ with the presentation “The social impact of Artificial Intelligence” that you can see below. In the lecture
The consulting firm Gartner has predicted in a report that artificial intelligence will be one of the most strategic technology trends for 2019, as it considers it as a new stage in the technological development of companies and institutions. But what exactly is artificial intelligence? What are its applications?
Last December, we had the opportunity to interview Calum Chace to explain in a simple way what artificial intelligence is, what its possible applications are today and what we will see in the coming years.
Calum theorizes that there is a possibility that in the coming decades a machine with intelligence comparable to that of people will be created. If that were to happen, Calum argues, sooner or later the first superintelligence would arrive, making humans the second most intelligent species on the planet. The consequences of a possible artificial superintelligence would be surprising, as it would be humanity’s greatest achievement since the invention of agriculture, challenging the very idea of what it is to ‘be human’.
