Topic: should we be wary of AI? - page 2. (Read 240 times)

Well, be alert and think negatively, but don't overdo it. artificial intelligence is created by humans, if for example Artificial intelligence has its own thoughts in my opinion it is rather impossible.

Eventually i absolutely see that as an threat. Not because they would be able to think like humans, but because they don't have to.
We measure intelligence from very human centric POV. And most likely code first real human-like ai:s with same insticts that drive us. But that would mean we would need to make them want to live, or to survive.

At the point when something is x times smarter then any human, we would be easily manipulated to do anything and we wouldn't even know we were manipulated.

Funny thing is that if there would be such AI hiding in the plain sight, we wouldn't know it unless it allowed us to.

At the current stage of machine learning however, no, we are not talking about sentient being for a very long time. Unless Roko's basilisk scenario is happening, but that's another long story.

"Artificial intelligence" chess programs might not qualify for having intelligence.

There are brute force password breakers that try every possible combination of letters and numbers. They will try A. Then AA. Then AAA. B. BB. BBB. And so on. I don't think that anyone would label a brute forcer as being intelligent. It has computational capacity such as an abacus or calculator. But lacks actual cognitive ability.

What many do not know is AI based chess programs are virtually identical to them. They calculate every possible move, the way that brute forcers calculate every possible password combination. Making them identical in actual levels of intelligence.

One thing we know about human minds is they do not function using brute force algorithms. The function of intelligence is intuitive, deductive and associative rather than brute force in origin. If our goal is to create a computer that thinks like a human. We may have to abandon brute force based approaches in favor of algorithms with higher compression and optimization.

I don't think that there are many scientists, coders or engineers in the world who are prepared to follow that route. There might be no one at all who has the will or the skillset to succeed in creating actual AI. Which could result in AI technology being doomed to failure from the onset. I would consider the arrival of our AI overlords delayed. Unless some genius comes along and develops it. But judging from recent events, the world does not appear to favor much in the way of progress or genius atm.

Just remember. It's humans that program the kind of thinking that AI's do. When the human programming is done by good people, we don't get AI's.

Am not sure what your thinking or perhaps, this is an illusion developed based on the Hollywood movies you've been watching and try to see possibilities. I'll say in all those movies, the humans always triumph in the end. We always find a way to nullify the threat to our survival.

Humans are the most creative and most destructive. Once our specie tends threatened, we look for solutions. Anyway, we aren't getting an AI apocalyptic revolution anytime soon or ever. We got the brains, we've been putting it to good use and still do. The created can't be smarter than the creator. For machines, it's garbage in, garbage out.

Quantum computing is just starting to become effective and capable. At this time, however, quantum has the ability to do a few things much faster than the fastest, most powerful, standard super computer.

When the quantum computer (QC) finally becomes as fully operable as it can become, and then when AI programming is added to this QC, true thinking ability will be available to the AI. This QC with the AI will become a suitable housing for Satan to come back up from the abyss.

Revelation in the Bible says that Satan will come up from the abyss (death) to rule the world for a short time before he goes to his destruction in the Lake of Fire... in the end-times of this universe.

Just like the industrial revolution had its own negative and positive consequences, that's how the advancement of Artificial Intelligence technology would be. Most people would loose their job if these robots are assigned to do the jobs of humans. Another negative consequences might be that these AI technological devices might be prone to cyber or virus attacks which can make them to malfunction which could have devastating consequences. But these robots can be more productive, accurate and could engage in risky jobs that can cause death or injury to humans.

But the truth is that AI cannot totally replace man because man is creative, innovative and can handle more complicated issues than robots. Regardless of how sophisticated they are, they can never think or act like man. You don't need to be scared that AI are getting smarter because they can never be smarter than man. All you need to do as an individual is to acquire more skills or improve on existing skill so that you can be productive to your society.     

AI has so advanced that currently it almost matches the human thinking from Machine Learning to deep Learning/neural networks down to Artificial intelligence its self. AI are commands built with a programming language and the work strictly on garbage in garbage out syntax so having their own mind seems impossible since the only work based on what the were programmed to do.

artificial intelligence is now getting more sophisticated and smarter almost matching human thinking.

do we need to be wary of AI getting smarter?

to be honest actually I'm a bit scared and worried about AI. What if they have their own minds, and are able to think like humans in general. It makes me anxious and think negative things.
