TEXT 2: WILL THE MACHINES TAKE CONTROL?

1 The first time I interviewed Eric Schmidt —twelve years ago when he was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Google— I had

2 a simple question about the technology that is spying and monetizing all our movements, opinions, relationships and tastes. "Friend

3 or enemy?" I asked. "We're friends," Schmidt replied coolly.

4 Now that the former Google executive has a book out titled The Age of Artificial Intelligence, I made him the same question

5 about Artificial Intelligence (AI), "Friend or enemy?". "AI is imprecise, and it can be unreliable as a partner," he replied. "It's dynamic

6 since it's changing all the time. It's emergent and does things you don't expect. And, most importantly, it's capable of learning."

7 "It will be everywhere," continues Schmidt. "How may a child feel about having an AI programmed robot? What does AI war

8 look like? Does AI perceive aspects of reality that we don't? Is it possible that AI will see things that humans cannot comprehend?"

9 Some scientists believe that when we build AI without a kill bottom for it, we are creating a demon —with luck, humans could

10 end up as the family pets. On this point, Schmidt disagrees with those people who consider that by developing AI, eventually, you'll

11 finish up with a master robot that's 1,000 times smarter than the humans. "My answer is different. I think that these AI systems are

12 going to think, not like humans, but they're going to be very smart, and that we're going to have to coexist."

13 I asked, "You don't think Siri and Alexa are going to kill us one night?". "No," he replied. "But they might become your child's

14 best friend."
