“If you’re not worried about AI, you should be. Like every technological advancement throughout time, we’ve been promised great wealth and transformational living, whether it was the advent of farming, the industrial revolution, mass production, advances in computer technology, or ways to communicate with millions from the palm of our hand. However, history has shown us that this simply does not happen. The wealth created by these new advances not only stays in the hands of the few who control the development and distribution, but disproportionately increases their wealth at the expense of the masses. AI will be no exception. We are always looking for that nugget of gold, that one piece of uniqueness that sets us apart from the masses. And sadly, uniqueness doesn’t come with AI. Creative AI can only emulate and reinvent what has gone before. It cannot create whole new horizons and universes.”–Nick Stern/Plastic Jesus, internationally acclaimed photojournalist and artist
