‘Fear’ will increase artificial intelligence’s popularity says industry

Mine workers will embrace simulated thinking more if they are anxious about losing opportunities, a sector leader said.

Resources industry employees will start trusting artificial intelligence (AI) if they are afraid of missing out. This is the conclusion Robotics Australia Group reached after reviewing nationwide sentiment.

“A healthy dose of fear of missing out in Australia around AI would actually be quite useful,” founding chair Sue Keay said according to the Australian Associated Press.

“I really have grave concerns that we are not very well prepared for this brave new world that is coming on fast.”

CSIRO’s National AI Centre recently revealed many Australians do not trust AI. Although the technology is already covered by privacy, discrimination, harassment and corporate regulations, it has also expanded to areas that cannot yet be governed. For example, text messages that are recorded to automatically create new conversations without human interaction.

“It comes with our natural leaning towards being a little bit more sceptical,” CSIRO National AI Centre director Stela Solar said according to the newswire agency.

“That is not the fault of the AI developers, it is not the fault of the company who wants to maximise its profits but what do they do with this information?”
