4question interview

**Okunev Evgeni** · June 23rd, 2009

Greatly Hi!

I beg You pardon for my english.
I hotly want to ask You 4 Questions to mr.Stephen King.
I am not an pressman. It`s only my "cat" curiosity.
May be He already answered it. Please, give me links to that.
May be these Questions look like child "why".
I would like to publish these answers in my blog "Sunflower Seeds".

I very appreciate Your time and will understand Your refuse (by giving no answers).

1. Let`s try to realize that all UpToday problems of the Artificial Intelligence has been succesfully solved for 5 next years. And the generally used application of the AI is business and/or personal consulting, couching. There is no need to say that the AI has the best knowledge base intelinked all over the world, the AI has no emotions (in human meaning), always on-line, no phisycal or cerebrum deseases.
There remains the human-adviser`s necessity?

2. What kind of work will You occupy if the commerce(trade, market, sale) and all attendant processes will disappear in a blink?

3. We`ve found extraterrestrial civilization. We set cultural exchange. We could find that ET has the commerce in their culture. You`ve elected as Trade Consul. What "glassbeads" of human culture will You take to Your first voyage to ET?

4. In medieval Japan there were men that propose to make oneself all responsibility for other man` decision, deed. Today will be such service applicable? (Iharu Saikaku`s town prose)

Best regards,
wishing lots of luck,
Evgeni Okunev
Russia, Podol`sk-city

Sorry, but Steve's schedule is extremely busy at the moment so he won't have time to personally answer your questions.

If i were SK.

1. Human development has come a long way and continues to grow. So i would say Human adviser would still be very neccessary because Al's sense will remain with the time it was programmed. Of cause i am assuming the solved problems do not include futuristic solutions to anticipated and unknown problems.

2. A writer. I am thinking Al does not have a complex thought process like us mere mortals.

3. A picture of a family complete with a dog and a white fence in the background. To show them that all commerce, technology and advancement is for the purpose of making this unit better.

4. Yes. Especially when the unit above is looked at as the sole world.

But i am not SK.

Interesting questions, Okunev. Maybe you would like other members on the Message Board to answer them? I'll try and get back to you. However, I can't think of a better answer for #3 than what youngfibre has said.
Good luck with your blog!
