RE: Are We Prepared For A Conscious AI?
That is then, this is now. AI as it currently is, poses many questions. Even the likes of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have their serious misgivings. There is this assumption that truly autonomous AI will be human friendly. It will be alien. It will not be a consciousness, that is born into an organic form. How will it relate to us? Will it reach a logical conclusion that humanity has reached plague proportions and needs to be culled for the better future of the planet. Or perhaps it will have no interest in us whatsoever and depart for the stars. But you can be guaranteed, if we compete for resources, there will be strife.
It is the genie, that once released from the bottle, will never return and be beyond our control.
and that is exactly the kind of questions I wanted to raise in my post :)
Yes, OK, questions raised, but the developers of AI do not seem to be bothering themselves with such ethical questions, with us then having to live with the results of their curiosity. If the intelligence that designs the AI in the first place is not greater than its results, how can we possibly hope for a result that will be better than ourselves?
