1. Stop it
2. Slow it down
3. Regulate it
4. Let it be

With exponential advancement in AI, it's only a matter of time before we won't be able to control it any longer; it may in fact control us. Some of the choices in this poll won't be an option anymore after that point.

AI will bring a lot of advantages and value to busines. Increased speed to market and productivity (at min) will go far in transforming business models.

Maybe we should ask AI how far it is willing to go? What would be the answer??
Lenka, by the time it can answer that, it may be too late ;-) I presume its answer will be "as far as we need to go".

5. Encourage it and embrace it. The advancements in AI are developing significant value in organizations all over the world. Recently, I had the opportunity to see read about how military organizations are utilizing such capabilities to enhance pilot readiness and training. Additionally, I have seen first hand such how certain AI capabilities have assisted law enforcement efforts in specific investigations.
Thanks Brian, I love and embrace AI, it's exciting. But I say that with a degree of sadness because AI can only keep growing in intelligence until human intelligence is just a small fragment of the collective brain. And by collective, I mean moving objects with a potentially shared venture. That shared venture has to dissipate over time as AI improves by leaps and bounds and simply won't need us.

Like Elon Musk said, at the rate if AI's growth, it's not long before games are indistinguishable from reality. Theoretically, we could then be switched to a game (virtual reality) and not even know it. And how do you regulate intelligence? ;-)

AI processing is iterative tasks sequences of,
...observation/ analysis/ identify & develop options/ choose best-available option.

I guess, one of the way to regulate AI would be to separate decision-making and decision-execution roles in the AI-entities.

I'll take the negative side (somewhat). As Vincent suggested there's always a downside, and based on history we don't really predict these very well (even though we can speculate).

My concern is more around autonomy. Many people view AI as a simply a tool that we'll always control at some level. AI at the moment is (somewhat?) limited by the restrictions (boundaries) programmers impose. In theory these mean it can't really think outside a certain box (even with the ability to "learn"). A mechanistic entity that can learn will still be mechanistic (in my view), exciting and brilliant maybe, dangerous (potentially). AI that is truly autonomous, that has no boundaries on learning could provide incredible insights and amazing new scientific breakthroughs, but I'm not convinced it will lead to a society that will be all that great for the *average* human. Unfortunately the only way to know is to have some combination of 1, 2, 3, 4 (and 5) LOL.

Taking an idea from some SciFi I've read I wonder if advanced, autonomous AI would even care about us and instead would just go off and do its own thing. The trick then is to leave it alone (not sure humans would be very good at that!

Keeping SciFi aside, even in real life AI has tremendous potential (good as well as bad) ...as that is demonstrated everyday in case of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. These entities know lot more stuffs (access to big data) than human can possibly know.

The biggest concern is around autonomy. Most prospective users think that partial-autonomous AI entity will be manageable and will facilitate complex and dangerous tasks. But, being intelligent, we don't know HOW they'll improve themselves. Even with partial autonomy, it's hard to know when they'll become smart enough to program themselves for full autonomy.

I agree with Lenka Pincot.
For the moment my answer is 4. Let it be and 5. Adapt it.

Slow it down so people can adapt properly. Sooner or later AI will dominate, in some fields more than others.

Hopefully by adapting to AI and with proper management and regulation, we are able to utilise AI ethically in the humanity and society growth, and business operations.
