In the future do you think AI will save the world or destroy it?

Destroy. It's already eroding people's abilities to think critically and do basic tasks that they had no issues with before AI started to proliferate. Not to mention the astronomical data use and environmental impacts.
 
The AI will think it's saving it. Whether that world includes humanity as we are, or would like to be, or not is an entirely different matter, though.
 
The world? If we keep developing ais the way we are, with no oversights or safeguards... probably save it, from a utilitarian perspective... which likely means getting rid of us...

With proper care and treating it like something more dangerous than nuclear weapons - and it effectively can be - maybe, just maybe, there's a not dystopian future where it can help us become better.
 
I have the feeling that every times AI make a step forward humanity is taking a step backward. I see a lot of new technology everyday but nothing to advance us as human beings, only things making us more and more lazy and weak.

My opinion in the matter is that in a few years humans will become irrelevant if we continue on this path. Technology is nice to make our life easier but we should not forget what it means to be human and that a satisfying life is not a life without struggle.

What you guys think?

It all depends who wield it and to what extent.
 
Considering we humans created AI, and if it destroys humankind. It is still on us for creating it in the first place.
 
I don't think AI is going to go Skynet and try to eradicate life. What I'm worried about is humans becoming too reliant on AI to do all thinking for us. And since AI is, and always will be, owned by rich cryptocunts, we're looking at a Brave New World / Wall-E situation.
 
AI will never be able to save the world. Its a tool, use it like one.

I must say though, people will lose their jobs to robots. This is and isn't a bad thing, same as when cars first came about and horse tamers or whatever lost their jobs as well. Temporary pain for some to later increased consumer goods, means reduction in price, and less working hours for all. It could even lead to universal basic income.
 
Probably both, first destroy a lot of thing in military action, then put thing back in a new fashion based on the vision of those who decided to destroy a lot of thing.
 
I get where you're coming from, but I'm still hopeful AI can handle the boring stuff so we have more room for the messy, human parts. The struggle does matter though, so hopefully we don't automate that away entirely.
