Artificial intelligence has no emotions and this is not necessarily a disadvantage because it can fake them perfectly.
The radically emotional nature of human beings contrasts, however, with the emotionlessness that hampers AI. “AI is completely emotionless, but it can fake it quite accurately. It is capable of creating an atmosphere seemingly laced with emotions, even though there is nothing behind it,” he warns.
Precht insists that morality does not exist in this technology. "The supposed ethics of AI revolve around an 'I' that cannot be precisely identified. AI is not emotional, it has no imagination, it is deprived of an 'I', of its own individuality, and therefore incapable of displaying an iota of morality," insists the writer and philosopher.
Is it a handicap that emotion is completely absent in AI? Not necessarily. This technology can thrive without emotions (which it can at least fake in an extraordinarily plausible way).
"All those things that canada number screening make humans proud, those things that make them unique, their products, in short, will one day be, and already are, better than they are ," Precht prophesies. The philosopher has no qualms about claiming that humanity is doomed to be overtaken by artificial intelligence born from its own womb.
" We have always defined humans based on the reason that distinguishes them from other species. Animals are the others in the eyes of humans. Today, humans, animals and plants are the others in the eyes of AI," concludes Precht.
