“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Give AI a fish and it will teach itself Biology and Chemistry, and eat the world’s fish to extinction”.

That humorous comment from the Centre for Humane Technology is obviously a joke. Even so, it conveys the truth that there is something very unpredictable about what AI will do next. There’s a domino effect with AI where we cannot know how things will end up. As someone said, “AI will change the world…but we don’t know how”.
