Kak spoke to the New York Post, describing it as “devastating”, ie ‘terrible’, and said “People have no idea how deeply AI is going to make an impact.” According to the report, Kak believes that the arrival of AI will automatically make the work automatically, the needs of humans will decrease, jobs will be reduced and people will withdraw from family planning.
He said in his statement (translated) “AI will never be conscious, but will do everything like humans and when it starts working in our place, how much will the need to be humans?” They also say that population is already falling in many parts of the world, especially in Japan, China, Europe and South Korea.
Kak also said that if this trend is continuous, then in the coming time, big cities of the world can be deserted. He said (translated), “If the population remains 10 million, cities like London and New York will be empty, only filled with metals and machines.” He also cited Allen Musk who has already said that the fall rate falling is the biggest threat to humanity and that is why Musk Space Colonies talks so that human civilization can be saved.
Kak’s talk is directly that the effect of AI is not just work, but will reach the existence of society, family and human beings. They say that the change has started, just we are not noticeing it. “People have stopped giving birth to children and it will be faster as soon as AI moves forward.”
