To the point where it does most of the jobs people are currently doing and where it can truly experience human emotions?
It is a certainty that it will become more advanced.
Today I can click three buttons and have AI write, compose and sing a song about anything I want in any style I want. While also supplying cover art and an analysis of the elements and themes within it (for two more buttons).
10 years ago this was high tech we assumed would come but had no idea about when.
20 years ago I doubt many would believe it.
So on.
It is important to understand that AI is not intelligent yet. It is a base of rules ran against input that generates a patterned result against an existing library and inserts a degree of variation.
So while we have made a startling breakthrough this isn't something that could govern things.
As for AI handling simpler jobs. It can be done with clever solutions, sure. The core question here is whether or not it makes monetary sense. Someone with resources does not really care if you live leisurely or work hard for your living. They ultimately care about themselves.

Not experience emotion, but can feign it, and the AI takeover is a worry for a lot of people in low experience jobs
Elon is smarter than me, and he says it will happen. And it will take the jobs. They're working on driverless cargo trucks. (semis) At first I thought it wouldn't work, because they could never navigate busy city traffic. Then I learned that they won't be going into the cities. They will pull over at a truck stop, and a human will drive them into the cities. People can fear and hate technology, but when has that ever stopped it from happening?

I really hope not but knowing humanity, they will probably just let it happen. People are generally suckers.

It most definitely will however to truly understand how an ai can reach a level of sentience and autonomy one first must understand how sentience operates and what causes it. Sentience in the most simplified terms is recognition if own existence, ability to understand retain and modify memories including rebuild them. Along with circumstances throughout life. The technical method for creating a genuine ai is still in theory format but last I was reading about it the most common approach was creating the base for the ai and then injecting a 2 part virus first part corrupts the code and the second part allows the ai to rewrite it's code. In theory at some point these 2 things will collide in a manner that triggers adaptive learning (think you touching a hot stove and learning that you shouldn't do that again) which would result in altered code and increased code writing beyond its base code. Eventually it would reach levels of self awareness and learning. Of course this is mostly theoretical and based on how humans behave
To answer you first question - and the title - yes, AI (and machine learning in general) will become more advanced over time, and yes, eventually it will be able to do the cognitive (thinking) part of most of the jobs currently done by humans. It will take much longer for robotics to sufficiently advance for AI-powered machines (robots) to do much of the manual labor we do, like construction, plumbing, dog grooming, massage, fireman, landscaping and so on. But even those jobs will be augmented by machine intelligence.
As for human emotions, probably not - not unless we design the AI to have the equivalent of emotions; emotions are, generally, a set of cognitive shortcuts. You see a bear, and are instantly afraid, and hide or run - you don't need to spend the time logically thinking through, "that is a bear, bears are dangerous, I assess this to be a threat", etc. Emotions are faster. Love - or lust - is your body's way of ensuring you attempt to breed, and don't rationalize your way out of it. In general, we probably don't want AI to take such shortcuts, I think.
AI will become more advanced. In the foreseeable future, it might replace a lot of jobs people currently do, but not all. New jobs will replace the old jobs. Working in engineering, a lot of what I did was meant to replace humans. It did that, but the humans just did something else.
As for human emotions, maybe. But if so, that is WAY in the future. Someday it might be possible for an AI machine to build a complete human, and rebuild itself into a human. So they would not only experience human emotions, they would actually be human. They could also build pet dogs and cats. I don't see any scientific reason why that couldn't happen.
Until then there is something that will always be true.
AI + human > AI alone
This means that no matter how advanced AI gets, ambitious humans will always strive for more.As far as I'm concerned, if people no longer work they are no longer human. It's pretty sickening to think of a day when humans no longer work.
I don't believe that AI will be able to have feelings and emotions like humans do, but I do believe it will become more advanced.
Some jobs are already at risk, millions of people around the globe might lose their jobs. Not to mention that there's a possibility of AI controlling us humans. It might sound crazy and stupid, but it might become a reality. We need to be very careful and responsible with AI.
Honestly I could write out tons of ways that prove it could happen, and probably will. But it would be messy and not sure if my point would come across.
The key point would be we aren't made from Magic unless your into god then sure, but let's speak scientifically we aren't made from Magic therefore everything we are can be recreated.
Emotions aren't a magical thing, so why would a AI not be able to understand and feel them? Emotions are just data responses in our programming.- https://www.youtube.com/embed/HQXmfAGOe0Y
Technology is always changing & technology is always advancing & as for artificial intelligence like any other technology will become advanced as well.
the first is possible and worrisome. does most of the jobs people are currently doing. yikes. the second seems impossible. it can act like it has emotiions in response to a sad situation, if it was programed but that is just obeying and copying mimic.
Yes, it will be doing a lot of jobs that humans currently do, There will be advances in hardware that will enable driverless cars. Many professions if they are not automated entirely will be done mostly by computers. Attorneys, accountants and business managers will have less and less to do while machines take over more of their duties.
Automation is already quite advanced from where it once was and has replaced human jobs. AI will continue to advance, which is rather obvious or should be. It will never experience a human emotion because it's not human. It will be able to "simulate" to a greater extent and imitate human emotional responses. However, that will still be based on data and input and be the result of a calculation.
As a software developer at Microsoft yes AI will get more advanced but I do not believe to the point of singularity (when AI is more powerful then humans) because a computer is only capable of doing what it is coded to so the only possible way is if someone either codes an AI to attack humans and breaks the flawed laws of robotics, or the AI can modify it's own and other code.
Yea. It definitely will. One day we’ll be looking back at the Terminator movies and say something like: “Did we NOT pay attention to the storyline? Hey, pass the ammo - I have droids approaching our defensive lines.”
No, there's no chance it will ever "replace" us. So many of the claims that are being made about AI are simply ridiculous (ex. that it will become sentient).
That's called AXI or AGI depending on the technology.
But no, that side of AI hasn't moved forward since the 60's. We just cannot build transistors to that scale - yet.
I wrote a thesis on this subject in 1969 or 1970. AI is still dumb, in that it must be created. Humans have independent thoughts, and AI will never have that.
I dont think they will ever truly feel emotions as we know it, but in the near future, they will be able to manipulate our emotions leading to human experiences
It could. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised anytime soon if it could, as well as robots.
Absolutely, I hate to say it. It already has. OpenAI just released a chat bot that express real emotion, solve linear equations, and even guess your mood. I don’t know if I should be happy or terrified.
yes ofc it's almost all the way there now and they haven't even begun to develop everything about it
Job replacement yes. MIMIC emotions according to the algorithm, yes.
They will.
