Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Says AI ‘Watershed’ Moment for Technology But Not Necessarily Good

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool. From self-driving cars to social media interactions that assist doctors and guide us, it is playing an unprecedented role. Considering the speed at which it has acquired this core role, how we should integrate with it—and to what extent, there must be some concerns. When discussing these topics with The Atlantic, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that we are at a “watershed” moment for this technology. But this does not necessarily mean evolution.

Schmidt said in an interview that with artificial intelligence, the current problem of misinformation will be “child’s play” and people will try to use it to manipulate others. For example, artificial intelligence has been used to read our browsing history. It turns out that it can be used to predict patterns, our tastes, and likes and dislikes.

According to the algorithm, it will suggest which website we might visit next or what product we might want to buy. “We are all online. All of these systems will learn what we care about, but we may be manipulated. This will have as much impact as the discussions we are having, for example, in conflicts,” Schmidt told the magazine.
