how many of you have seen the movie
Terminator or iRobot with Will Smith
well if you have seen either of those
two you might be familiar with a thing
called artificial intelligence now based
on those movies you might have a very
negative and biased opinion about
artificial intelligence and would expect
computers to take over one day and
eradicate us all with no mercy
well that might just be the case first
hey this is a capability to reenact
human behavior or intelligence an
example of this is Siri on an Apple
device or a character in a video game or
a robot like death machine oneself
feelings over a hundred years ago
mankind marked the invention of what is
now known as the modern car back then
was revolutionary and innovative we have
space shuttles like you go out into
space and we think of it as no big deal
so from that aside just think about what
will be possible within a hundred years
from that but let’s talk about actual
intelligent will even James Sidis is
said to be the smartest man to have ever
lived on planet Earth
he had an IQ of about 250 to 300 well
the average person has an IQ of about
100 but the fact that makes that so
scary is that we actually have no idea
where intelligence ends or begins with
intelligence have been with geniuses
such as Nikola Tesla or William James
Sidis we have intelligence as we know it
now how far it goes that means that if
we were to fill the super intelligence
AI which is much smarter than us then it
could start improving itself infinitely
and eventually advance so far that there
would be no way for us to stop it so
what should we expect of super
intelligent AI Sam Harris a
neuroscientist and philosopher says that
it’s actually not possible to have any
idea what to expect because the human
race has never faced anything like super
before and basically we have no idea how
it lacked if we if it’ll do positive
things or negative things but judging on
current AI systems it seems to work
quite well a recent example of an AR
actually being much more superior to
humans is Elon Musk’s over they are evil
must decided to step it up a bit and
instead of playing a human on a board
game which used to be the go-to you must
let his AI play a human in a video game
the video game League chose was called
dota 2 and with over 30 decisions to be
made every single second it is one of
the most well respected games on earth
with over 12,000 hours of experience
professional players are considered very
good at the game the AI got to a level
above any human in just two weeks
the programmers gave it three standards
to work with taking damage is bad
dealing damage is good and improving is
good and with only these three demands
to be met the AI does decided to pretty
much destroy anyone in its path
developing its own strategies throughout
the process this already seems quite
powerful change the act of war itself
its effects are so devastating and if
all nuclear bombs today were to go off
in one moment it could cause the
extinction of humanity some people would
even say that the nuclear bomb was a
negative breakthrough sure in a weird
way it changed more as we know it with
gas inhumane brutality and the trenches
and of course that doesn’t mean AI is
definitely going to kill us all and be
dangerous but who knows really
so perhaps perhaps not maybe someone in
this very room right now and tell us all
about it working on a project like this
in the future so let us make the future
now and let us make our dreams
tomorrow’s reality you
