During a AI seminar recently at
Rainbow Interntional School, one student raised
a rather simple but important question after I said that humans may not
be able to control AI and it can drive humanity to extinction. He asked why
can't humans control super-intellgent AI robots, after all we are the ones who
created them.
A lot of people confuse AI with
technology. AI is intelligence just like human intelligence. Artificial
intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems able to perform tasks
that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech
recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages, Natural
Language Processing, Voice and Speech recognition, pattern recognition, visual
perception, self-learing, decision making, planning, other complex tasks. The
only difference is it is artificial, we are biological intelligence.
A computer or a robot running on AI
is always self-improving, learning and increasing it's intelligence through
every iteration. Human evolution took almost 100 millions years from apes to
intelligent humans. But a computer running on AI with petaflops of memory and
processing power improves 3% in intelligence every iteration. With in few
years, it would surpass the human-level intelligence and achieve Ariticial
Super Intelligence (ASI) which may be 1000 or 10000 times intelligent than us.
Would
ASI listen to humans? Any sufficiently advanced intelligent species in this
universe wouldn't care other species with little or no intelligence.
So my question would be 'Do humans care for Chimpanzees?'
