No matter their exact form, AI Science and Engineering and its sister disciplines have many great challenges to address. Here is a partial list:
- Is AI Science and Technology a scientific discipline in its own right?
- How can we quantify knowledge?
- Can Virtual Reality truly empower meta-societies or is it just a hype?
- Can AI-powered human-centred computing surpass human intelligence?
- Can we create self-conscious machines?
- Can Mind and Social Engineering manipulate human behaviour and social functions?
- How do social media facilitate disinformation?
- What are the envisaged effects of AI and IT on our personal relations and sexual life?
- How can we not only protect but also monetize our personal data?
- Can AI help devising new political systems?
- How are irrationalism, anti-elitism, and social media disinformation related?
- Can new technologies ignite social revolutions?
- Is life and intelligence due to matter complexity?
- Can we patch parts of our brain?
- Is climate controllable through Geoengineering?
- Can humanity progress without resorting to energy-intensive technologies?
As each of them needs an entire book to be properly addressed, this lecture will simply introduce few of these challenges for further discussion and debate.
