On this date in 1983, The Forum carried front-page news of the United States insisting that President Reagan’s latest proposal on limiting medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe remains viable, despite a Soviet rejection of the plan’s key elements.

“The question of the future of humans and AI seems impossible to answer because of unexplainable humans, not because of unexplainable AI. So much depends on our use and control of AI. And that depends on who ‘our/we’ is. There are a number of issues here. Machines gave us huge gains in our ability to produce and eventually to transport things, including food. That in turn gave us too many choices, which often overwhelms us (see Barry Schwartz’s brilliant book ‘Paradox of Choice’).

“Ideally, in 2040 the transition to the self-actualization economy will have begun. We will have come a long way since the 2020s.

“As we look to the future, we might assume that the biggest existential threats to humanity lie in climate change and nuclear wars. As massive as those problems are, they are problems of the ‘outer world,’ ones that we can apply ourselves to. The confusion and crisis over individuals’ AI-aided (or addled) identity/identities could cause individuals turmoil in [as many as or more than] 8 billion inner worlds, and this could lead to the total destruction of humans from within.

“In computer-human interface design, the word ‘agent’ refers to chatbots and other seemingly autonomous entities that act on behalf of the computer in their interactions with us human users. It does not take a great leap of imagination to predict that soon many of us will ourselves similarly be computer agents, acting on behalf of one AI system or another – a role we will have willingly, even eagerly, chosen.
