“AI, that is the question.”70cm x 140cm oil painting on canvas by Regina Zepeda-Albexon 

This is one of those “a bit weird” paintings that is not the type that you particularly “like” but that makes you have a “hmm” effect. After listening to the book “Life 3.0 Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”, by Max Tegmark, I started to create this painting.

The potential of Artificial Intelligence is mind-boggling.  Innovation and advancement in science is essential and inevitable. I believe it is the duty of AI researchers and scientists to ensure that its impact is beneficial for all of us. AI systems must also be robust to ensure that autonomous systems do what we humans want them to do.

AI is already helping scientists and researchers to speed up the process in getting the solutions to combat the Coronavirus. After the structural information of the virus was available, AI immensely assisted in reducing the time it took to start the production of testing kits as well as the development of a vaccine of which more than one is already being tested in scientific laboratories around the world. AI solutions like contact tracing and monitoring technology used for the containment and mitigation of the coronavirus are very helpful but also controversial. There are numerous other ways AI is being applied. Its research and application is progressing very rapidly.

If you are interested in AI, read the open letter “Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence” published by Stuart Russell, Daniel Dewey and Max Tegmark.
