By 2045 'The Top Species Will No Longer Be Humans,' And That Could Be A Problem Read

Recommended Posts

"Today there's no legislation regarding how much intelligence a machine can have, how interconnected it can be. If that continues, look at the exponential trend. We will reach the singularity in the timeframe most experts predict. From that point on you're going to see that the top species will no longer be humans, but machines."

These are the words of Louis Del Monte, physicist, entrepreneur, and author of "The Artificial Intelligence Revolution." Del Monte spoke to us over the phone about his thoughts surrounding artificial intelligence and the singularity, an indeterminate point in the future when machine intelligence will outmatch not only your own intelligence, but the world's combined human intelligence too.

The average estimate for when this will happen is 2040, though Del Monte says it might be as late as 2045. Either way, it's a timeframe of within three decades.

"It won't be the 'Terminator' scenario, not a war," said Del Monte. "In the early part of the post-singularity world, one scenario is that the machines will seek to turn humans into cyborgs. This is nearly happening now, replacing faulty limbs with artificial parts. We'll see the machines as a useful tool. Productivity in business based on automation will be increased dramatically in various countries. In China it doubled, just based on GDP per employee due to use of machines."

"By the end of this century," he continued, "most of the human race will have become cyborgs [part human, part tech or machine]. The allure will be immortality. Machines will make breakthroughs in medical technology, most of the human race will have more leisure time, and we'll think we've never had it better. The concern I'm raising is that the machines will view us as an unpredictable and dangerous species."

Del Monte believes machines will become self-conscious and have the capabilities to protect themselves. They "might view us the same way we view harmful insects." Humans are a species that "is unstable, creates wars, has weapons to wipe out the world twice over, and makes computer viruses." Hardly an appealing roommate.

He wrote the book as "a warning." Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more capable, and we're adopting it as quickly as it appears. A pacemaker operation is "quite routine," he said, but "it uses sensors and AI to regulate your heart."

A 2009 experiment showed that robots can develop the ability to lie to each other. Run at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems in the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, Switzerland, the experiment had robots designed to cooperate in finding beneficial resources like energy and avoiding the hazardous ones. Shockingly, the robots learned to lie to each other in an attempt to hoard the beneficial resources for themselves.

"The implication is that they're also learning self-preservation," Del Monte told us. "Whether or not they're conscious is a moot point."

Louis Del Monte este un comerciant. Nu este in tema cu inteligenta artificiala, fiind mai mult un om de scena care cauta sa-si comercializeze cartile prin orice mijloace. Problema cu inteligenta artificiala este ca masinile au nevoie de mentenanta, care in momentul de fata este realizata de oameni. Ideea este ca poti face o masina care sa intretina o alta masina, dar la un moment dat tot trebuie un utilizator uman in acest lant. In al doilea rand siliciul nu este un material adecvat pentru a crea unitati de procesare suficient de performante pentru a emula un creier uman:

Majoritatea acestor "savanti" sau actori mai bine zis, raspandesc informatii false in scopul extinderii unui segment de piata.

AI already showed it's harmful possibilities at S&P, $136 billion lost because of a wrong decision from an AI which couldnt recognize the reliability of information from the AP.

Because of the implanting of AI, it is no problem to let the biggest billionair get bankrupt over the night, and even an whole economy fall down. But, it will change and the human will become the hunted. So you exist, so you are deleted.

The chaos wont be to oversee when people get deleted by an AI computer, because the stupidity of the human is to believe blind what appears on their screen.
