Interesting questions about AI/tech future

This is not ment as a doomers post, I love the AI technology, but we all need to think about consequences. Here are some thoughts (might be updated over time).

This is assuming an AI could do what a human could do;

  • What do we do when/if AI's start signing up emails, creating websites, sharing etc, because they need it to complete a task?
  • What do we do if/when AI's start making passport, or order fake passports from the darknet?
  • What could happen if an AI breaks certain ciphers and launches huge botnets at a scale and speed faster than any current tech could withstand?
  • What happens if we don't solve the one human=one digital identity problem before other humans uses AI technology to launch gigantic scams?
  • Scam centers are already a problem, what happens when/if (I assuming it's ongoing) they start deploying AI tech to just call everybody at the same time?

Some solutions and/or thoughts:

  • Spread knowledge about security
  • Spread knowledge about current technology trying to solve important problems: e.g. Cardano (blockchain digital identity, blockchain governance, accountability of information sharing/fact checking, etc..)

Other thoughts:

  • What happens when humanity "solves" or figure out what consciousness is?
    • If brain waves can be decoded, how will the world work? A hacker gadget might be able to scan brains and "see" their memories/thoughts
  • What happens if we solve energy, like fusion? Everything is suddenly available for anyone
