    Artificial Intelligence has issued the most ominous warning of all \u2013 that it could be the cause of a horrific \u201cdystopian future\u201d in just 20 years time.<\/p>\n

    Google's AI-powered Bard software was asked by the Daily Star what the worst possible outcome for humanity would be, and its answer didn't disappoint \u2013 although it did scare us, quite a bit. To clarify, the question was not about how the world would end, or would kill us all, it was more about if the world continued on its current trajectory, what the worst possible future would be.<\/p>\n

    Of the seven main outcomes it picked \u2013 climate change, nuclear war, pandemics, Artificial Intelligence, global economic collapse, resource depletion and technological dystopia \u2013 it was the latter that it chose as the most likely. And it even mapped out what year and how it would look.<\/p>\n

    Its background to the mad prediction was that technology has the potential to improve lives in \u201cmany ways\u201d, but it also poses some risks, such as if surveillance technologies become too powerful, they could be used to create a totalitarian state. Or, it added, if social media algorithms designed to maximise engagement could lead to the polarisation of society and the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n

    But it reckons that by 2043 \u2013 just 20 years time \u2013 we could be living in a \u201ctechnological dystopia\u201d based on four main factors \u2013 mass surveillance, social engineering, automation and environmental destruction. And it will all be powered by Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n
