Elon Musk is on the record stating that artificial superintelligence or ASI could bring the end of the human race. Elon has publicly expressed concern about AI many times now. He thinks the advent of a digital superintelligence is the most pressing issue for humanity to get right.

What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence would have undergone an event called the intelligence explosion, likely to occur in the 21st century. It is unknown what, or who this machine-network would become; The issue of superintelligence remains peripheral to mainstream AI research and is mostly discussed by a small group of academics.

Besides Elon Musk, Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom is also among well known public thinkers who is worried about AI. He lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life : Now imagine a machine, structurally similar to a brain but with immense hardness and flexibility, designed from the bottom scratch to function as an intelligent agent. Given sufficiently long time, a machine like this could acquire enormous knowledge and skills, surpassing human intellectual capacity in virtually every field. At that point the machine would have become superintelligent. With other words the machine's intellectual capacities would exceed those of all of humanity put together by a very large margin. This would represent the most radical change in the history of life on earth.

In order to develop a superintelligence that would benefit humanity, the process has to be done in a series of steps with each step being determined before we move to the next one. In fact, it might just be possible to program the AI to help us achieve the things we humans may not be able to do on our own. It is not simply being able to create them and learning how they've been commanded, but it is interacting with them and evolving ourselves at the same time. It is learning how to be human after the first ASI.

  • I don't want an AI that is "as ethical" as humans. I want one that is more ethical than humans. If the AI had similar "ethics" capabilities as humans, we'd have a big, big problem.

    You can have a robotic girlfriend who's more intelligent than your ex

    There is a huge difference between intelligence and wisdom. As I see it ... all this artificial intelligence is in high demand by humans because we have limited wisdom.

    Soon we will have a problem, we will have a superinteligent AI acting as being conscious, but we will never know for sure if it is really conscious or just behaving as we expect it to behave.
  • @Ender_FPV
    "The Intelligence Explosion" is called The Singularity, by humans.
  • Ai might be dangerous. You cant teach a computer let alone some people compassion or love.
  • What frightens me is that we will create an artificial intelligence that behaves like humans do.
  • @x15Lovex
    AI is gonna treat us like how we treat other animals: relegation to pets or irrelevant beings that can be disposed of.
  • @zrebbesh
    Don't worry! We'll make great pets!
  • Plot twist: as the AI gets smarter and smarter, other competing AIs learn how to monopolize its attention and bandwidth until it just ends up looking at videos of cats on the Internet when it should be working, same as everybody else.

    This is why we need to understand consciousness. What it is, why it is, and how it works. We still have no idea why we are conscious. How can we create a conscious machine if we still do not understand where consciousness comes from?

    Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈

    AI is the nerd kid at school that tries to fit in by guessing what you think is cool: “ I heard you talking about Nirvana, so I got you a book on Buddhism”

    May be that a.i will discover how to clean the planet from radioactivity.
  • @markcarlson6780
    Correlation is the movie the Terminator. A.I. becomes self aware and deems humans a threat to their existence. Solution: Termination of humans. Science fiction becoming reality
  • I find it bold for humans to determine if something has a mind or not, if we struggle to control and understand our own. Jus sayin
