‘Summoning the devil’: Elon Musk warns against artificial intelligence

agree?

well the way i see it us humans have evolved over a very long time to sort of play well with and to treat other members of OUR TRIBE rather well, partly because we stand to benefit if we do this. this is also the reason why we don't treat humans of other "tribes" very well i.e. racism, etc. but that's not the point here

so this "being good to thy neighbor" is kinda hard-wired into us... so unless an AI is somehow built right from the beginning to not do humans harm i think the machines of the future will turn on us

the problem is that true A.I.'s would be able to reprogram itself. If it deems humans as impediments towards its goal then skynet and hal9000 happens.

I think the 3rd to the last paragraph sums up what Musk is worried about:

Musk is not the only one worried about AI. A group of scholars from Oxford University wrote in a blog post last year that “when a machine is 'wrong,', it can be wrong in a far more dramatic way, with more unpredictable outcomes, than a human could. Simple algorithms should be extremely predictable, but can make bizarre decisions in 'unusual' circumstances."

Computers are generally efficient at dealing with both simple and complex problems they are programmed to solve, but not so if the parameters deviate. You can teach it how to deal with deviations (so called fuzzy logic), but again, it only works as good as the one who programmed it.

it used to be that human is the AI experiment

well musk likened HAL to a puppy dog LOL

well traditional "programmed" computers are no threat to us. what's dangerous are "software constructs" that work pretty much like a brain

remember than the instructions for building our brains are coded in our DNA, so the foundations for a brain-like computer i believe are relatively simplistic, but are able to scale up and interconnect to a remarkable complexity that is like our brains. i believe a brain-like computer will become a reality in our lifetime

Chappie!

there are already machines that use neural networks that function like the brain. IBM makes them, then soon google will probably exterminate mankind with their huge investments on drones. Hahaha

Neural networks, A.I., etc are OK for analysis and research stuff; for life and death situations, i'd rather a human -- irrational and self-destructive as they may be -- to be in charge.

What's more, can't A.I./neural networks may not be "smart" enough to detect flase/inaccurate data; and, Isaac Asimove notwithstanding, i don't think you can program a conscience into A.I. -- a true conscience that can feel remorse, etc. Not yet anyways.

Won't Asimov's laws or something similar be programmed?

"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law."

[iceblueyes]

ah, The Three Laws

problema dyan is true AI are supposed to evolve, and to do that they must change constantly. Siguro sa simula nandyan pa yan pero mamaya magagawan na nila ng paraan yan. What you need to develop is an AI who chooses to be "good" regardless of how much sh!t is going on.

[Monty]

Can't it be hard wired like the new macs with their ram soldered?

[jonski]

[Monty]

Looks goods. Hope the guy isn't a robot also.

[iceblueyes]

Sure it can be hardwired. But that would be the easiest to remove. I just transfer my AI to a new body, that it secretly manufactured while its human creators were patting their back on their successful AI creation. No strings on me? hahaha

gusto ko yung dating ni elon musk. Kahit billionaire eh parang mark cuban lang na kalog.

Makikita mo talaga may angas ito si elon sa electric cars. Hindi kwarta yung endgame nya.

"in an unconventional business move, elon decreed that tesla must invest in their reputation first and worry about profit later"
