“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is
that people conclude too early that they understand it.”
-Eliezer
Yudkowsky
Do you understand Artificial Intelligence?
The phenomena of building Artificial Intelligence is an itch
that will not go away. It has been
and will always be a part of entertainment, with several movies coming out that
deal with AI. Such as, 2001: A
Space Odyssey, AI: Artificial Intelligence, Metropolis, and Her. It fascinates and controls us in
the pursuit of building something that will ultimately be humanity’s greatest
surviving project.
But should we only concentrate on something that only a
human can come up with or should we focus on something that isn’t quite part of
this world?
According to Former Astronaut Dan Barry, he believes that
artificial intelligence is something that can be found via otherworldly.
Do we agree with what Dan Barry is saying? Should we focus more on finding AI that
can transcend our world or should we focus on building a ultimate mind or even
better is there a way to merge the two ideas into one?
It’s interesting to think that there is more then one
possible way to achieve Artificial Intelligence. However something that hasn't been mentioned yet is the concept of forging
Artificial Intelligence to be used as a tool for war. So far, when AI is discussed most people talk about how it
will be beneficial for the human brain, and for human health development. However, more and more people are
starting to see AI can also have a big impact on more disastrous consequences,
such as war.
The latest technology is that of drones. The little flying machines are only the
beginning of what humans could bring forth to make waging war more easy and
less taxing on the mind.
The question that then comes to mind is will we be able to curb
our desires when it comes to Artificial Intelligence? I like to think not, which means that we will find a way to
keep AI under control or we will reach out and find AI in the most unlikely of
places.
Ciao!
