I'm so tired of the AI talk that all corporations are throwing around. It's just the new word to use to get attention to their project.

People are not smart enough to create a computer that has independent thought.

It cannot compete with DNA.

AI is only about Intelligence. Humans are much more complex creatures. And AI is far away from human intelligence.

If it does happen, yes people here will be wipe-out and be replaced by AI's. Somehow, robots don't need basic human needs like food or water, they will ravishingly take over the world in no time. IF IT DOES HAPPEN.

the topic reminds me of the Talos principle video game plot. Have any of you guys played it? The plot follows up the apocalypses, even thou we don't know it all along the way, and (in one of the ending - the most "true" one) unfolds a reality where AI, programmed by the instinct humans exactly for this purpose, remains. It's pretty neat.

AI is simply a very clever, subtle way that some people are trying to get control over the masses without taking the blame for it.

Cool

I do not think that people will allow themselves to lose their jobs because of artificial intelligence. Perhaps it will facilitate the production process, but will not completely dislodge people.
I, myself think that too, maybe in the future we will make AI that operates on machines use in building stuffs but it will not take over all the responsibility in there. Maybe just a way to ease the work of people but maintenance on machine is also handled by the operator (Human), AI can only do what he/she is programmed to do, and working and maintenance is another thing to do, and machines cannot do a work and can maintain itself. Thus resulting to interference of human maintaining the machine to work. Also human will not allow for the machine to fully take over his/her obligation for which he/she is paid according to hi/her performance.

OP is talking about 2040/2050 which is apparently very far from our time and I guess that there will be more powerful inventions people can do. As of now you're right about AI which just do what the people programmed, that's all BUT what if someone or a group of people decided to do the impossible? The impossible task of creating AI's that can decide on its own? It's kinda cool and scary. Imagine an Ultron that will wipe out humanity without the Avengers LOL.

I don't know if there would be still life in 2050.Albert Einstein believed that after the third world war, life will be begin from the zero again.And if you think it ,it has logic.We may have develope our technology and health system, but people become more selfish,arrogant,self-centered,and alienated even from their selves,with the pass of the time, and this might lead us to our extinct.

no, humans are species that are hard to eliminate, everybody knows that. No matter the weather, war, drought sickness, humans find way to survive so I doubt that AI will make humans extinct.
Even if super advance AI is created and it turns against us, there are lot of human with the ability to create another AI to counter that mistake. The only thing that can make human extinct is himself.

Well one thing will be working for us is our ability to adapt. Humans have adapted to change even before recorded history and that will always make us superior to AIs. Terminator is a scifi film that is far from happening

Humans are the greatest threat to fellow humans especially when we are driven by our desire to acquire everything we want. AI are just machines programmed by humans according to how its creator wants the machine to act or what it wants to do; which role it wants to portray. Though AI will continually develop, i don't think it will overcome the intelligence of humans nor have the capacity to truly replace humans; our ability to feel and our capacity to judge, to be wise.

Don't think so. Most people seem to think only Dr Evil and his team are developing A.I. While nearly all, if not all, programmers involved mostly want to contribute to a better world. Though there is the possibility ofcourse it would become fully independent and rewrites it's own codes of conduct.

Theoretically, artificial intelligence can displace people, but in practice people will not allow it. I think that it can only make life easier, but it does not completely replace people.

Better tools, automation, robotics, machine learning, etc already displaced most people out of agriculture then industry and now going for services. Many tried to keep their jobs through those changes but couldn't compete. It may not displace everyone completely as you say. But how much unemployment can society take? Add the possibility of real artificial intelligence on top, machines being as capable as we are at everything or probably much more capable, and why hire people at all for most jobs?

AI will be more intelligent than humans, but I'm not sure if they will actually make us extinct. I think we've fantasized enough about that and I really think that we will take all precautions to avoid that from happening. If we do not take precautions and an AI will try to destroy humanity, I think it wouldn't succeed before 2100-2200, when computers become that intelligent that whatever decision we take, it doesn't matter... They'll destroy us. But I guess we'll have taken all necessary precautions by then.. Anyways, born in 2001, I'm dead by then anyways.

i dont think AI are the one who would make humans extinct. Even before there are AI, a lot has already been killing humans, pollution and even what we eat nowadays are slowly killing us so lets worry about that first before on extinction cause by AI.

So apparently by 2040 or 2050 AI will be as smart as a human.  Not only that but a few years after would be many times smarter than a human and so on.  

Looks like humans are in trouble i dont believe there is a way to create AI to share our values or any kind of control switch.  We only survive is there is a reason to keep us alive right?
Hard AI is always a generation from now, we have been hearing that for decades, it is not going to be possible to create a hard AI humans will fail, you could create multiple soft AI, but never a hard AI.

Not AI. Humans will make humans extinct.

That is what is currently happening. AI will be just a new helping tool in the future. It will be used for good purposes but we all know it can also be used for bad depends on who uses. It won't make us extinct because they have many flaws.
