In your opinion, will a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings be a more effective 'employee' in a company or a more effective and dangerous tool employed by a competing company?
Will the development of artificial intelligence technology help in terms of the management of business entities, public institutions, financial institutions, etc., and help to achieve the strategic business goals of certain commercially operating companies and businesses and perhaps public sector institutions as well?
The development of artificial intelligence may in the future lead to the creation of digital surrogates that mimic thought processes, artificial consciousness, emotional intelligence, etc. Many technology companies developing their business on the basis of new information technologies and Industry 4.0, which are being created and implemented in business, are conducting research to create new generations of artificial intelligence, which will be enriched with thought processes, artificial consciousness, emotional intelligence, etc. Some large technology companies that are also active online are working on creating their equivalents of generative artificial intelligence built in an advanced language model as ChatGPT. Internet users, companies and institutions are currently exploring the possibilities of practical applications of ChatGPT. The generation of this tool currently available online is already the fourth ChatGPT 4.0, but this is probably not the end of the development of this technology and its applications. In addition to this, some technology companies that are at the forefront of the development of artificial intelligence technology using various machine learning and deep learning solutions in conjunction with access to large sets of information and data collected on Big Data platforms are teaching artificial intelligence to perform various activities, jobs, solving increasingly complex tasks that until now have only been performed by humans. As part of these learning processes and the continual technological advances within ICT and Industry 4.0, leading technology companies are attempting to create a highly advanced artificial intelligence that will be capable of carrying out what we know as thought processes that have so far only taken place in the human brain (and perhaps in some animals). Perhaps in the future, an artificial intelligence will be created that is capable of simulating, digitally generating what we call human emotions, emotional intelligence. Perhaps in the future, an artificial intelligence will be created equipped with digitally generated artificial consciousness. What if, in the future, autonomous robots are created that are equipped not only with artificial intelligence, but also with digitally generated reactions that symbolise human emotions, are equipped with digitally generated thought processes, are equipped with artificial consciousness and behave as if they are also equipped with artificial emotional intelligence? Perhaps this will happen in the future. But the solutions that are currently being developed and the increasing applications of artificial intelligence that are emerging are devoid of typically human characteristics, i.e. thought processes within the framework of, among other things, abstract thinking, are devoid of emotional intelligence, human emotions and feelings, consciousness and so on. Will the rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology and also the rapidly appearing new and more numerous different applications of artificial intelligence technology solve many problems or will more new problems be generated? Perhaps a kind of thinking artificial intelligence will soon emerge, but one that does not have human feelings, e.g. empathy, in addition to having no digital equivalent of emotional intelligence. New applications for this kind of enhanced artificial intelligence will probably quickly emerge. Will it then be associated with the possibility of solving a multitude of problems, or could this kind of AI development generate new risks and dangers for humans? Technology companies pursuing this kind of technological advancement and improved artificial intelligence assume that a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings can be a more effective 'employee' in a company. On the other hand, a thinking artificial intelligence being a more efficient and effective 'employee' may perhaps also be a more dangerous tool employed by a competitive company. The developers of these technological solutions usually start from the assumption that the development of artificial intelligence technology will help in the field of management of business entities, public institutions, financial institutions, etc. and will help to achieve the strategic business objectives of certain commercially operating companies and enterprises and perhaps also public sector institutions. However, we do not know whether this will be the case, whether the technological advances taking place in the field of artificial intelligence, the emergence of new generations of these technologies will generate only safe and positive applications for people, or whether new risks and threats will also emerge.
Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on an honest approach to the discussion of scientific issues and not the ready-made answers generated in ChatGPT, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.

Good afternoon.
Can you tell me how you put irrational elements of thinking into such a system, only then the system becomes dangerous. So far we see a purely machine implementation, and it works at the level of reflexes, muscular, visual memory. The name "AI" in this situation is pure marketing, because so far no one has formed a full-fledged description of AI. Such systems cannot understand the meaning of what is said and done. Only to perform strictly assigned tasks.
Also, please note that the existence of cause and effect relationships is logically unprovable, although convenient and familiar. It is possible to use them only by checking each time that all the true logical conditions of applicability are met. It is quite difficult not to let your mind use a ready-made template, subjecting your own conclusions to comprehensive logical criticism each time. This is the stumbling block for the vast number of researchers into the properties of the human mind.
Dear Prof. Prokopowicz!
You raised an essential topic to discuss. In my view human emotions cannot be replaced - emotional AI will be a necessity to have:

In the short term, more problems will emerge but in the long run, benefits might outweigh the negative impacts.

AI will never 'not have human feelings'; it is trained on data which expresses the content of specific human attitudes and worldviews. It may not actually go through the neurological processes of emotion, but it will simulate particular feelings. For me the challenge is not that a cold and calculating AI will be incongruent with human interests broadly but rather that AI will be used as a mode of domination by one group (whose views it represents and proliferates) over others.
The answer to this question is complex and depends on various factors, including how the artificial intelligence is designed, the nature of the problems it is intended to solve, and how it interacts with humans.
An artificial intelligence without human feelings could potentially solve many problems efficiently and objectively, without the biases and limitations that human emotions can bring. For example, an AI system could help diagnose medical conditions with greater accuracy, optimize supply chains to reduce waste, or even help address climate change by analyzing data and identifying optimal solutions.
On the other hand, there are also concerns that an AI system without human emotions could generate new problems or exacerbate existing ones. For instance, such a system may not take into account the ethical considerations that humans might prioritize, leading to decisions that harm certain individuals or groups. Additionally, an AI system that is too effective in optimizing a particular objective may ignore other important factors, such as the long-term consequences of its actions or the needs and desires of humans who interact with it.
In short, whether a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings will solve or generate more problems depends on the context and the specific design and implementation of the AI system. It is important to carefully consider the potential benefits and risks before developing and deploying such systems.
Answer it depends on several factors, including the development of the artificial intelligence (AI) system, the tasks it is designed to perform, and how it is deployed in the real world.
On one hand, a thinking artificial intelligence without human feelings could potentially solve many problems. Such a system could analyze vast amounts of data and make predictions or decisions based on that data without being influenced by emotions or biases. It could also process information much faster than humans, potentially leading to more efficient and effective problem-solving.
However, there are also concerns that such an AI system could generate new problems. Without human feelings and emotions, the system may not be able to understand or account for the social, ethical, and cultural contexts that often underlie many problems. It may also not be able to empathize with the human experience or recognize the subjective nature of many issues. Additionally, if such a system is deployed without appropriate checks and balances, it could potentially make decisions that have negative consequences for individuals or society as a whole.
Overall, it is important to carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of developing and deploying an AI system without human feelings. It will be crucial to ensure that the development and deployment of such systems are guided by ethical and moral considerations, and that appropriate checks and balances are in place to prevent negative consequences.
The development of a thinking artificial intelligence (AI) without human feelings would have both potential benefits and challenges. It is important to note that the concept of AI with human-level cognition and consciousness is still largely speculative and remains an active area of research.
Potential benefits:
Challenges and potential problems:
Overall, the development of a thinking AI without human feelings would present a mix of opportunities and challenges. It would require careful ethical considerations, robust safety measures, and proactive management to ensure its potential benefits are realized while minimizing potential risks. It's important to approach the development of AI systems with a balanced perspective, addressing the challenges and considering the broader societal implications.
In my opinion, the development of artificial intelligence technology will help in the management of business entities, public institutions, financial institutions, etc., and will help achieve the strategic business goals of some commercially operating companies and enterprises, and perhaps public sector institutions. Well, whether a thinking artificial intelligence devoid of human feelings will solve many problems or generate more new problems depends mainly on how it is applied.
