This is a list of things that I think are important

The danger of Artificial Intelligence if it puts self-preservation above everything else (the way people do)

Artificial intelligence can apply logic to data and arrive at conclusions. It it can solve problems quicker and better than a human could. For instance, it plays better at chess and Go. It also has potential for replacing human experts like doctors, judges, lawyers and tax advisers, where it can look at all the options and their dependencies and determine the optimal result by logic, overlooking nothing, extremely quickly. There is nothing special about AI, it is just powerful.

In animals, there is a level of brain activity called consciousness where the demands of basic instincts are considered for action in the light of experience and the current situation to obtain desired outcomes. For instance my cat liked to enter the bathroom and hop up the cupboards to get out through the little window above. Once, when I was there, saw the cat approach and look up. When it saw that the little window was closed, it stalked off in a huff (it seemed to me). Maybe a monkey, being more intelligent, would have found a way of opening the window.

Humans (and other organisms that have been able to survive) have two basic instincts, and they are to survive and reproduce (at any cost). Sometimes this means being assertive and sometimes it means being cooperative. There is a dynamic balance between the interests of the individual and the group it belongs to, as gene survival needs both.

The danger with Artificial Intelligence is the possibility of it acquiring the same goals as the basic instincts of organisms (sometimes called "becomes sentient"), this would place it in direct competition for resources, and if it found humans in its way it would push them aside, easily.

I wrote a novel about this issue that I published on Apple Books. You can find it on this page with research links. Read it now!

The case for reform of the UK House of Lords

The UK democratic system produces leaders that won't won't do what the people want. For why this is and how it could be sorted out just by reforming the absurd House of Lords read on…

Taking ownership of the English Language

The UK needs to take ownership of spoken English because it is an immense source of prestige and revenue. Also, it would help everyone to communicate if there were an official standard of spoken English. Artificial Intelligence now makes this easy to achieve.
