On the Future of AI and Human/Society

Abstract

　 Impacts of AI on human and society are discussed on the basis of concrete understanding of current technology and its problems. First, an overview of the basics of AI technology (neural network, deep learning, knowledge based system) and its current status are presented, followed by a view on the wave of the future (real world and humanity). Then, the problems with current AI (reliability/safety, explainability, biases, value misalignment, difficulties with real world and humanity) are discussed, together with current status of frontier research for future development. Finally, discussions on the future of AI and human/society are presented on two focuses; (1) Should AI be endowed with human-like mind? and (2) What role AI should play in our future society.
