What are the consequences of technology gaining intelligence?
Technology gaining intelligence comes with many risk and consequence. The intelligence and moral aspects have to be programmed and would sensuality up to the programmer what the technology would do or react in a time of crisis. Who should these decisions be up to? Who should the technology is programmed to save? “Through a series of quizzes that present unpalatable options that amount to saving or sacrificing yourself — and the lives of fellow passengers who may be family members — to spare others, the researchers, not surprisingly, found that people would rather stay alive.” I would say let the person’s morals be programmed into the vehicles because if they were driving the car the decisions made in a crisis situation would be the morals of that person anyway. If the technology intelligence was modeled after the human brain I may feel more trusting of this technology. “Ultimately, however, we will learn to program intelligence by copying the best intelligent entity we can get our hands on: the human brain itself.” This would resemble another human behind the wheel or in the device. What if the intelligence get to smart and want to do it’s own thing because it feels it has it’s own mind? “A frequent criticism of predictions is that they rely on an unjustified extrapolation of current trends, without considering the forces that may alter those trends”. “Tay was an artificial intelligence chatterbox released by Microsoft corp. on March 23, 2016. Tay caused controversy on Twitter by releasing inflammatory tweets and it was taken offline around 16 hours after its launch. Tay was accidentally reactivated on March 30, 2016, and then quickly taken offline again. This was a disaster; he was offending so many people, because he got smarter and feed off other people tweets. I believe that eventually AI will be perfected and there will be AI helping humans in everyday life activities.” We claim that our goal of creating a learning, scalable, intelligent system, with competencies similar to human beings, is altogether relevant in trying to solve a broad class of real-world situated problems. We further believe that the principles of development, social interaction, physical coupling to the environment, and integration are essential to guide us towards our goal.”
