Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) End Us?

There are many theories on the danger of artificial intelligence. Here is a great look of what to be cautious about. “The future is ours to shape. I feel we are in a race that we need to win. It’s a race between the growing power of the technology and the growing wisdom we need to manage it.” ~Max Tegmark

There is ongoing debate and speculation about the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on society and humanity. While some people are concerned that AI could pose a threat to humanity’s continued existence, others believe that AI has the potential to bring about significant benefits and improvements in our lives.

It is important to recognize that AI is a complex and multifaceted technology that has the potential to be used in a variety of ways. Like any other technology, it can be used for good or for harm, depending on how it is developed and deployed. While it is possible that AI could potentially be used in ways that could pose a threat to humanity, it is also important to consider the many potential benefits of AI and the ways in which it could be used to improve our lives and address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Ultimately, the future of AI and its impact on humanity will depend on how the technology is developed and used. It is important for researchers, policymakers, and society as a whole to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of AI and work to ensure that its development and use align with the values and goals of humanity.

Quotes on the threat of artificial intelligence

“The real risk with AI isn’t malice but competence. A superintelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours, we’re in trouble. You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.” ~Stephen Hawking
“What is vital is to make anything about AI explainable, fair, secure and with lineage, meaning that anyone could see very simply see how any application of AI developed and why.” ~Ginni Rometty, IBM CEO

“When fake news meets artificial intelligence (AI), the risk is robots will like, leaving us with fake intelligence and artificial news, or exactly where we are now.” ~Jim Vibert

“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” ~Eliezer Yudkowsky

“Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.” ~Ray Kurzweil
