Today's society is becoming stupid in every sense, says writer Sergey Lukyanenko. Thanks to artificial intelligence, we will soon completely forget how to collect and remember data. As a result, humanity will be destroyed by laziness and lack of need to survive. "There is a negative scenario, a horror story. Terminators running, crushing skulls with iron legs. It is understandable. But there is an equally terrible positive scenario, when neural networks continue to care for people's well-being, they help to improve the environment, stop wars, eradicate hunger, solve the problems of some diseases basically, heaven comes to earth. But you don't have to work, they will still feed you and give you something to drink. It could be available in 10-15 years. The fact is that man as a thinking, intelligent being will then begin to die." About the dangers that the development of neural networks poses, is there a way to protect yourself from them and what will happen to us in the near future, see the full version of the interview with Sergey Lukyanenko on our website.
