3423) An AI-Developed Colourised & Antiqued Coin, Republic of Chad: World’s FIRST Shaped Silver Coin Designed Using Artificial Intelligence: A 10,000 Francs CFA 2-oz Silver Coin: Date/Year of Coin issue: 2024:
There’s been a lot of talk about the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence or “AI” for short. While the potential risks of AI may seem distant and theoretical, the reality is that we are already experiencing the impact of intelligent machines in our daily lives.
This coin, for instance is the world’s FIRST shaped silver coin designed using Artificial Intelligence!
The result was a selectively colourised design that merges the shape of a human head with internal elements of a circuit board with a computer chip that displays the public seal of the Republic of Chad.
And to show that there was at least some human involved, each coin features a gorgeous, antiqued finish that accentuates the intricate design.
Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand, which means that no two coins are exactly alike.
Struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, both sides of the coin have been created utilizing AI and its idea of what a shaped silver coin should look like.
Is AI Taking Over The World?
According to AI experts, Artificial intelligence could pose a risk of extinction to humanity on the scale of nuclear war or pandemics, and mitigating that risk should be a “global priority.”
A glimpse of AI run amok was seen in 1999’s classic science fiction film "The Matrix", in which humans are sustained by an all-encompassing system of machines and tubes that meet their physical needs while an even more all-encompassing virtual reality game provides for their emotional needs.
While it is highly unlikely that a single AI system or application could become so powerful that it could take over the world, it is a movement that could soon be used to spread misinformation and propaganda on a massive scale while eliminating millions of white-collar jobs.
