What's this?

There are a couple of other challenges, AI and climate change, that aren't


really listed there. Now AI is a double-edged sword. General Mattis noted in an interview the other day that soon, within 10 years or so, warfare could be conducted by AI robotics. Adversaries, and us probably, are already working on this. The article mentions deep fakes; these could be AI generated. On the other hand, AI might be used to counter these deep fakes and, possibly help us solve some other intractable technical problems. Technical problems like...

....climate change. This has arrived. You think there's chaos now, wait until unbearable heat and lack of water start people wanting to migrate, or make it more difficult to grow crops. War for territory or ideology becomes war for survival.

These, like the article are worst-case scenarios. I don't think they all hit at once, but even in a middling case are going to cause humans enormous challenges. Generally, there is opportunity that goes with those challenges. The big question is how much will humanity change in the process?
