robots can replace people, humanity needs to stop in time – Kommersant

Robots in the future can completely replace humans, says VEB.RF Chairman Igor Shuvalov. In his opinion, this is something to be wary of. In the future, he noted, humanity needs to decide to limit the capabilities of artificial intelligence and robotics.

“I think (robotics.— “Ъ”) can (completely replace a person.— “Ъ”). I hope this will not happen, humanity will stop in time,” Mr. Shuvalov said at a meeting with schoolchildren, students and young teachers in Kazan (quote from TASS). In his opinion, machine capabilities can change the “human essence” and people “should be afraid of this.”

The former first deputy prime minister believes that the pandemic has demonstrated that people do not always behave rationally and are able to draw conclusions from current situations. Therefore, in his opinion, it remains “to rely only on the minds of individual leaders.” “Xi Jinping is smart, Putin is smart, but this does not mean that all of humanity was able to assess all the risks and resist future pandemics by making the right decisions,” he added.

About the first experience of state regulation of artificial intelligence in the Russian Federation – in the material of Kommersant “The legal field has been drawn out for the intellect”.
