I hope this doesn’t come out the wrong way, but I’m curious what AI would be able to do to solve these issues? There are a lot of ways I could see it being used to make plans or ideas, but ultimately wouldn’t people need to trust AI and give it power over our decisions?

Even if AI weren’t plagued with human biases, it’s hard to imagine people agreeing to trust it. People barely trust each other, and we’d have to trust those who program AI not to manipulate it in their own favor.

I mean if the Stargate Project creates Skynet, that's one way to the kind of salvation folks preach about.

AI is just a reflection of humanity.

Yeah, tbh, it seems like it should be a lot closer to midnight. If things are this bad and we're still over a minute, what's it going to take?

We don't have AI.

If (or when) we achieve the technological singularity (we aren't even close, current AI is just marketing) they will be able to lay down a plan to fix anything without making mistakes, they will predict the consequences of actions in detail, ours or theirs (some thing are more difficult like a volcano exploding).

Handling is not necessary they could be able to just take it, the only way to stop them would be to cut electricity I guess.

But the thing is not the current marketing term for AI, we don't have AI.

Oh I never knew that!

Perhaps even thrice.

Go to 12 already

Yeah. To be clear, I don't know if they called it a scale change, but "we need to start considering more, weaker crises because there aren't big ones anymore" was the gist.
