On Sunday an interviewer talked with Elon Musk about his thoughts of technology today in the fascinating article; Elon Musk warns against unleashing artificial intelligence 'demon'. Musk talked about how artificial intelligence is a technological demon. He even claims, “potentially more dangerous than nukes.” The main idea of this article is about the dilemma of whether or not to create artificial intelligence(AI). The two sides of the debate are scientists who believe that the creation of an AI would be the greatest step in technology, and the people who fear an apocalyptic outcome. Musk believes in a technological apocalypse.
Personally, I do not believe in an apocalypse that of which our enemy is AI. First of all, it seems more like something out of a bad syfy movie, although I would start to fear the possibility of one when AI begin to create more AI. Second, aren’t we already in one? There are people who cannot be separated from their phones or computers. We have an endless world of knowledge, and we don’t give a second thought about it. At any moment, anywhere you can find the answer to anything, or at least the ideas other people have on the topic.
Questions:
How long could you last without your cellphone?
In a single day, how long do you think you use any form of technology in a day? Think about how in the past, people had to go all the way to the library or ask a teacher to figure something out.
I agree with you that artificial intelligence is not a big worry. I also belive that artificial intelligence will never be a big problem. I also agree that we as a society are very connected to technology.
ReplyDeleteI think this was very well written! You are very talented and I agree with everything you say. It's weird, I feel like I practically wrote this! Every word is exactly as I would have done it!!
ReplyDeleteNick, It was nice of you to give Nick compliments
DeleteI agree! I use my cell phone a lot probably about 2-3 hours a day! I think a for something like this to happen would be very, very unlikely. I think it would be really cool for us to advance our technology.
ReplyDeleteWe will be killed by robots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, I don't think it is a concern. Artificial intelligence will never exceed human intelligence. We created it and it will never be smarter than its creator. Musk is freaking out more than is necessary. Maybe robots should take over. They already have. If Al has the power to control people he deserves to. He never will. We all need to relax.
But is he over reacting? How can we know unless we were the ones literally building the robots. We don't know for sure any hazardous precautions that are made in even the most simplistic technologies.
