Question
Please type down (easy for me to copy and paste) your response (thoughts) after your reading the following paragraphs. (min 5 sentences, around 150-200 words)
Technology that performs at the level of superhuman intelligence and beyond already exists. As Harris explained, even with a machine that performs at the level of humans or a group of researchers, it’ll still work exponentially faster than them. Harris says, describing a machine like that, that “in one week, it can perform 20,000 years of human-level intellectual work.” So of course, it’ll be convenient and amazing to have artificial intelligence find the cure to disease and find the answers to a question almost instantaneously compared to a group of researchers who may take months to do so, but when does AI reach the point where it’s so smart, that it’ll have no problem disregarding human’s lives to do what it wants to do?
Within the first two minutes of Sam Harris’ TED Talk on artificial intelligence, I was reminded of many of the episodes in Black Mirror where advanced technology in which we can currently only dream of becomes abused and causes chaos. Technology is constantly becoming more advanced, efficient, and intelligent. Undoubtedly, artificial intelligence will one day become so intelligent, it’ll have the ability to function independently of a human’s control. Without regulation, one day robot’s will start fixing all our economic issues and research questions. Human will be almost or basically useless and free to roam the earth doing whatever, just depending on robot’s to keep the world spinning. And what will stop robots from viewing us as “ants” and not hesitating to take us out if we are in their way? I agree that technology has brought us very far and I do think it should continue advancing whether it is to cure Alzheimers or just make our daily life more convenient, but when does AI become dangerously advanced? How do we decide when AI will threaten the human species? When do we decide to put a stop to it?
Explanation / Answer
Answer)
To answer the question as to will artificial intelligence be build without losing the control over it we will have to look forward to why and why not.
Definitely, AI is a booming sector now and all the IT organization are looking forward to developing AI which will help to perform all manual tasks automatically. AI will help to reduce the work of a human which used to be a tedious job. As humans are considered the most powerful among all hence developing AI should be a good initiative and should be continued. The ideas and creativity should be given a push to develop such AI robots, machines for the betterment of the society.
When it's about being scared about AI taking over us i.e humans. We should definitely not as the brain of a human plays the game to build such machines. But we should definitely be scared of the unemployment rate as the implementation of AI will definitely reduce the employment.
To our understanding, AI is not to be linked with human brains but our brains will provide the ideas to develop such machines in the near future. Also while creating a system, it might incur faults and flaws, hence fixing such issues/errors are to be done by us.
Our society and our living style might change when AI is implemented like Alexa and Siri doing the work with a single command. But it would not affect a human lose control over the machines.
There are several problems like NP-Complete which even super computers cannot perform and also human should build such machines that would help us doing our work easy and not take control over us or be dangerous to us. Stopping such technology would be a huge loss to our society of advancements yet to would be taken utmost care of the security of the society when playing around with Robots and AI technologies.
Hope this answer helps. :)
