Forbes, has published an online article in which Daniel Araya (PhD), a technology consultant and advisor working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation and public policy, reports on an interview with Roxanne Meadows and Nathanael Dinwiddie of The Venus Project to better understand their thoughts on the future. One area of concern involves how the Venus Project envisions utilizing AI in decision-making.
Meadows and Dinwiddie: Applying the methods of science and technology (including AI) to the operation of the world’s societies will lead to a substantially more reliable functioning of support systems than we have today. Homelessness, starvation, war, and environmental degradation are consequences of today’s political and economic approaches to decision-making. A Resource Based Economy operates within a unified systems approach that utilizes the methods of science and AI to arrive at the most appropriate decisions at any given time. Unlike today’s implementation of technology, this new approach would be carefully carried out with the utmost human and environmental concern. The real-time influx of quantitative and qualitative data would provide real-time feedback, enabling humanity to constantly observe and continually improve the operation of the system over time.1
Bill McKibben and Yuval Noah Harari have written about the need for caution and vigilance as technology moves to develop AGI (artificial general intelligence) with intelligence surpassing humans and decision speeds a million times faster than humans.
The human masters of these systems may have personal enrichment and worker control motives resulting in an increase in inequality in society.1(2020, September 1).
