Warning Signs from the Future
Here are some warning signs that we will need in the future:
Warning: Autonomous Device
This sign coud be used around devices that will think for themselves with high level artificial intelligence. This device will start doing things when and how it “wants” to. It is thinking for itself, which may be disconcerting to humans at first.
Warning: Self-Replicating Device
This, in my opinion is among the most dangerous future technologies – Self Replication. These devices will be able to duplicate exponentially in suitable environments. Human ability to stop them, shut them off, or influence them will dimishish as they replicate faster then humans can respond.
Warning: Ubiquitous Surveillance
This one is starting to happen now. With new technologies, you will be survailed in certain areas. This is not just a camera shooting pictures. With new technologies, you will be identified by your face or the way you walk, or the way you move, then logged and stored in someone’s large database.
