DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:Sure, it would be a useful tool but I don't see what is uniquely socialist about artificial intelligence, or what it does to make socialism a political possibility, or how it would be uniquely useful to socialist planning, etc. The obstacles to socialism, and the challenges that it must overcome, are ultimately political, not technological. I'm just a nerdy coder and don't know that much politics,but here's my view: Assuming General AI is created and is cheaper that human labor to maintain,autoamtion would put pressures on the job market and after that on welfare systems,Since those with capital would obviously choose AI over a person for a given position.As i see it,this would be the end of capitalism,either through revolt of the now unemployable or a soft but radical change in policy - basic guaranteed income and/or governments acquiring assets of the employers.I'm not saying that obviously this would lead to socialism -since for example I'm first hearing the word mutualism in this thread and don't see how it's different from socialism/communism so i don't know poo poo - , but i don't see how capitalsim can be a viable option in world with GAI and not lead to horrible inequality.
