Should we be scared of super intelligence? Superintelligence is an artificial intelligence that has its own brain and can develop its own thoughts which is likely to be smarter than human in every aspects including ability to work and social skills. Superintelligence can come in many forms of technology including computers and robots. In today’s world, there are many evidences which prove that superintelligence exists in our society. There is no doubt why people to be scared of this kind of technology that can think and make decisions on its own. With its abilities to evolve and self-learn the environment, there are unlimit consequences that can derive from these machines. Torres has put this in a very precise and easy to understand words, …show more content…
According to Arend Hintze, there are four different types of fear about artificial intelligence including fear of unforeseen, fear of misuse, fear of wrong social priorities, and fear of the nightmare scenario; the first fear being fear of unforeseen. Even if the designers of the superintelligence think they can control what they have made, they might not understand what the machine is thinking. One of the examples of the real world being AlphaGo, the computer program, have beaten the professional go player from South korea, Lee Sedol, who is one of the best go players in the world. Go is one of the most complex board games with the most simple rules where there are two players in which each one of them takes turn placing one of the stones given (black or white) onto the 19 by 19 grid board. The purpose of the game is to create as much territories surrounded by their own stones as possible. Once a player’s stones are circled by the other player’s stones, those stones need to be removed from the board. Since there is no artificial intelligence that have ever beat the brain of human before, the Alpha go, which was developed by a team of twenty people, is considered one of the superintelligence. These kinds of artificial intelligence system that can defeat human’s brain could turn into something scary in the future. Thus, humans should be aware of superintelligence and be responsible of what they have
Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is “the intelligence exhibited by machines or software.” AI is found in many forms in our society, from video games to traffic predictions to the autocorrect in our phones. When machine personalities are no longer distinguishable from human ones, however, there will be implications for humanity. This advancement will at first be met with skepticism, and the first people to interact with these AI will not consider them sentient beings. Artificial intelligence will eventually be complex enough to exhibit human-like personality, and it is at this point that we will embrace machines, and redefine selfhood to include artificial beings. Once we consider AI sentient, they will rapidly advance until they are
Artificial Intelligence is the taking over of machines to do tasks that would normally require a human to do. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for years, appearing in movies and television shows to show what the future might bring. Artificial intelligence is becoming closer to a reality and now society must question if it should have a role in society. Artificial intelligence has many flaws at the moment making it impractical for use until society can address the issues facing it like the loss of jobs and how to control the use of AI.
The rivalry between humans and machines has been present since the beginning og the the world. Trying to make the world easier for humans has been one of the life goals for society in order to crate a better world; however, those people don’t know that as society progresses the worse it is to introduce automated machines, Intelligent machines are a threat for society because it will increase unemployment and poverty.
It’s easy to be fearful of technological advancements and artificial intelligence when we do not understand how they work. An important thing to keep in mind is that, even though we may not be aware of it, we are constantly helping artificial intelligence improve. In the beginning, many believed that artificial intelligence could be created simply by providing instructions to a machine, then allowing it to discern the information within bounds of the direction. This provided far too much room for error, because the machine would be incapable of considering what went against the “typical” instruction, so the machine would automatically disregard it. A wonderful example of this would be regarding
Artificial intelligence is present in world, imagine what the world will be like in one hundred years. There are two examples that show that artificial life is dangerous, Frankenstein and Blade Runner.. The book Frankenstein is about a doctor who brings a creates a monster and then brings it back to life. The movie Blade Runner is about a man hunting down Replicants. These two examples are so different but they have the same point.
One example of this is when the stock market index had a quick, but massive crash, losing nearly one trillion dollars, which is “a prime example of the dangers of Artificial Intelligence manipulating stock” (Loubriel). Although human stockbrokers managed to shut down the system and prevent a complete economical crash, once superintelligence is achieved, there will be no way to terminate any AI processes. As soon as self-driving cars exceed the point of human intelligence, people will be completely under the control of their vehicle and will no longer be able to make decisions while driving. In addition, Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at the University of Oxford declared that “[humans] should not be confident in [their] ability to keep a superintelligent genie locked up in its bottle forever” (Bostrom). He emphasized the idea that once superintelligence takes over every piece of technology, it is competent enough to break out of the secure environment that has been created for it. Until self-driving cars are below the standards of being super intelligent, humans are still dominating every vehicle’s decisions. The consequences could be disastrous if they go out of control. Furthermore, physicist Louis Del Monte recently discovered that “[robots] are also learning
When I think about all the possibilities regarding the impact on our society; Utopic and Dystopic. My brain is clouded with negative thoughts. Just thinking about these scenarios sends cold shivers up my spine. When I think about artificial intelligence capable of making rational decisions, all I see is the cliche “Robots have gone mad and are taking over!”. But at this point in time it IS NOT a joke. Emotions and slow-thought-processing are not rational. Especially when they can be improved. If sentient artificial intelligence truly seek to make the world a better place. Then it is very plausible for them to see through the extermination of the problem. That problem being
Recent headlines were preoccupied with the consistent win of Google’s artificial intelligence program “AlphaGo” against world champion Lee Se-dol in Go game, a complex and competitive chess game. Rather than being shocked, technical companies were encouraged by their achievement. Others declared concerns about the potential harmfulness and ethical standard. Some think that Artificial Intelligence may be so well developed that they will begin having their own thoughts like what happened to the monster in Frankenstein.
From movies like Ex Machina, and WarGames, to Avengers: Age of Ultron, each one accurately depicts what will happen to mankind in the case that Artificial Superintelligence is created; utter destruction and complete decimation. AI is one of the scariest inventions possible, as they get smarter and smarter every time they are improved. Eventually, AI is going to become so intelligent that they will be able to recode themselves in order to become sentient - the ability to feel emotions. To determine if a robot (or AI in this case) is sentient, they must undergo a test known as “The Turing Test”. The Turing Test suggests that if the creation is able to identify an object accurately, then they are sentient - alike a human.
Overall, the idea that Artificial Intelligence could soon become better than humans through invention, innovation and improvement brings fear into our world. The preconception that technology will take over the world rendering humans powerless is the basis for why humans, including myself, are afraid of the movie, Ex Machina.
Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.
The need of worrying comes form the arising comment of how Artificial intelligence can one day become so advanced it will decide that it wants power of its own.
Artificial intelligence has become a big controversy between scientists within the past few years. Will artificial intelligence improve our communities in ways we humans can’t, or will they just cause danger to us? I believe that artificial intelligence will only bring harm to our communities. There are multiple reasons why artificial intelligence will bring danger to humanity, some of them being: you can’t trust them, they will lead to more unemployment, and they will cause more obesity.
Have you ever been uncertain about the world you live in, and the reality of the truth? The fear of knowing is a common response to most of what we do not know. The real answers make it apparent, that some wish not to understand the truth about everything. Society has made life so self-explanatory that the unknown has now become a mission to be kept a secret. Some are in fear of finding the truth, due to the fact it could have substantial affects on the entire human race. The world as we know it could prosper or fail with any new attempts in high-risk technology. Science and new advancements in artificial intelligence have made it accessible to finding out more than humans have every imagined possible. The development of the computer was a
Artificial Intelligence is a topic within the public media that has existed for decades, but is now a concern due to the reality of human advancement and innovation in the field of science and technology. Many people believe that computers will become self-aware or sentient and view humanity as a disposable resource and gain supremacy. Reasoning that research on the technology should halt and not become more advance. Whereas others believe they will help catapult research and the economy forward, supporting the operations and innovations the technology offers. The complicated and divided solutions to the debate aren’t obvious, but there are more benefits to improving artificial intelligence than there is stopping it. Therefore, the negative effects people believe will occur can be resolved.
