Microsoft President Warns Life To Become “Like Orwell’s 1984” If We Don’t Protect Public From AI

Microsoft President Brad Smith recently spoke with BBC’s Panorama where he predicted a dystopian world reminiscent of George Orwell’s famous novel “1984” will rise within three years if artificial intelligence isn’t regulated soon.

 

“If we don’t enact the laws that will protect the public in the future, we are going to find the technology racing ahead, and it’s going to be very difficult to catch up,” he warned.

“I’m constantly reminded of George Orwell’s lessons in his book 1984. You know the fundamental story was about a government who could see everything that everyone did and hear everything that everyone said all the time,” Smith continued. “Well, that didn’t come to pass in 1984, but if we’re not careful that could come to pass in 2024.”

 

 

The episode primarily focused on China’s use of AI to control and track its citizens, even using facial recognition tech to monitor Uyghur Muslims held in concentration camps.

 

However, the threat of AI is just as serious here in America.

 

For years, Infowars has been on the forefront of alerting humanity about household gadgets spying on consumers, NSA pre-crime software, algorithm-based censorship, implanted brain chips, transhumanism and more.

 

In fact, people like Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Warren Buffett and others have all said AI presents a very real threat to all of humanity.

 

In 2014, Musk said, “It’s really, I like to just keep an eye on what’s going on with artificial intelligence. I think there is potentially a dangerous outcome there… I mean, there have been movies about this, you know, like ‘Terminator.’”

The same year, world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking flat-out told the BBC, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”

 

In 2015, billionaire investor Warren Buffett provided a hypothetical situation where a self-driving car chooses whether to hit a pedestrian crossing a road or to avoid the person and hit another vehicle instead.

 

“And I am not sure who gets sued under those circumstances, you’re going to kill somebody, and it will be the computer that makes the decision in a nanosecond and it will be interesting to know who programs that computer and what their thoughts are about the values of human lives and things,” he explained.
