What are the consequences of technology gaining intelligence?
I do not know how I genuinely feel about the rise in technology. After reading these articles, I am still stuck in the middle in choosing between the two. One side is curious about all the new ideas and upcoming technologies soon to be invented and released. The other side is hoping the world does not change too dramatically with all the new inventions in the world because it either may be hard to catch on or technology may be too good, where machines would cause the end of the world like the movie Terminator. In one of the articles it mentions that car intelligent features are slowly coming together. The biggest concern within the creation of the feature of the car are choosing what is the best thing the car can do when in a situation of choosing the passengers life or the pedestrians life. For example, when a car with AI is programed to autonomously function, and say a pedestrian is crossing the street, would the car run over the pedestrian or swerve into a wall to save the pedestrian? I personally thought this scenario was interesting because I have not yet questioned the functions of the cars now days programed with AI. Cars, computers, and a bunch of other technologies are rapidly advancing. A robotic human clone is one of the things I am most scared of because of the functionality of a robot as it is almost perfectly programmed. I always refer back to the Terminator movies when talking about the topic of AI and Technological advancements. I truly believe the way technology is growing, maybe by the year 2100 we will have incredibly knowledgeable programed robots walking around like in movies Terminator and iRobot. According to the article The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine, it says, “By 2029 the software for intelligence will have been largely mastered, and the average personal computer will be equivalent to 1,000 brains.” This is proof that we will soon have super computers that will have an overwhelming brainpower of 1000 human being brains. This is incredible news… but just imagine the brainpower computers would have by the year 2100? Ridiculously too much function in where it would be enough to overthrow any kind of software or human being. Human intelligence vs. AI… we would stand no chance, unless the human race would destroy every server ever made and restart how life was meant to be lived the old fashioned way. Reading these articles… to answer this question… I am no fortuneteller but with the rate of rapid technological advancements… the consequences that I received from these articles are… (Reaching far out into the future for human beings…) are a war of the Human race vs. Machines maybe in the year 2200?
