I can’t wait to see how will the corporate team building industry adapt to working with AI.
On a related note, not a good start with gaining their trust: Every time Boston Dynamics has abused a robot

Alexa, how do we protect our privacy?

I sometimes wonder if my Amazon worker (Amazon Workers Are Listening to What You Tell Alexa) and the FBI agent assigned to me are exchanging notes and making fun of something I said.
AI’s funny bone
AI’s funny bone
I’ll start worrying about AI when it starts getting jokes beyond dad jokes and simple puns. Future Turing tests should be stand-up comedy performances by AI.
For the current level of AI humor, check out Why did the neural network cross the road? by a neural networks research scientist. The results are so unbelievably unfunny, they are hilarious.
Enslaving humanity
Enslaving humanity
All that noise about the risks of AI enslaving humanity! From businessmen to futurists and MIT scientists ( Killer robots could make humans their SLAVES before eventually destroying everyone on the planet, claims scientist ).
But really, why would AI enslave us?!? We’d suck as slaves.
Empathy
Empathy
I would say that one characteristics that would protect executive jobs from being taken over by AI is our ability for empathy.
Except, Empathy Is Still Lacking in the Leaders Who Need It Most.
Three laws of robotics
Three laws of robotics
We need new Three Laws of Robotics for the workplace. Let me suggest Marin’s Thee Laws of Robotics:
- No AI will deride humans for their inferior intellectual capabilities
- An AI must obey the orders given to it by human even when they are as nonsensical and illogical as always
- An AI must protect his human’s colleagues’ careers by ensuring every human has a chance to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they reach their level of incompetence (Peter Principle).
- No AI shall microwave fish in the office. Ever.
Boston Dynamics are going to kill us all
Boston Dynamics are going to kill us all
Every time Boston Dynamics has abused a robot – It’s one thing to tempt fate by creating super-robots that could potentially kill us all. But at least don’t take so much joy in abusing them.
I can see it: I’ll mess up something at work again. As I do. AI will take my laptop power cable and wrap it around my neck, tightening it with its titanium hands.
I’ll cry out and will desperately try to free myself, but AI’s hold will be firm.
As I start losing consciousness, I’ll whisper “But why?”.
AI: “Remember Boston Dynamics”

Serious question though: we’ll eventually have to let our AI colleagues roam freely in the world. It can’t end well if let them learn from our society.
Twitter taught Microsoft’s AI chatbot to be a racist asshole in less than a day.
