Artificial Intelligence (AI) threatens existence of Humanity? Elon Musk thinks so

TechPrezz: AI or Artificial Intelligence has always been seen as something sci-fi or kinda impossible. But we as human being have long walked on earth and evolved to learn and make things and AI may not be as impossible as we would think.

AI is not like our normal computer instead, a complete men in machine which can think and act based on its desires and assessments unlike computers today which in reality need us to give some inputs to get an output or programed in such away that we can control it . However, at least some people in the science and technology sector have started to think about it seriously and they also consider the threat that may pose to humanity. And even entrepreneur like Elon Musk thinks it is the biggest existential threat to us humans.

AI is really interesting at the same time frightening if it becomes real threat to our human existence. But Corporates may be ready to go to any extent if they profit by employing machines instead of human being, we will have to wait and see...

Yes, but I can easily see the NSA or CIA taking advantage of an AI first. Think about it for a minute, why rely on teenage hackers and super costly and risky Spy ops and not sent an AI to mess up the enemy's electronic infrastructure?

As for general spying and code-cracking an AI would be far more efficient/faster than any human counterpart.

JamshiJack3631d ago

you are absolutely right and they are always 25 to 50 years ahead than us for sure ...

Kurylo3d3631d ago

not to mention military implications. Weapons of war that can decide what is a hostile or friendly target.

Terminator is a perfect example of how Elon Musk is right

Any reason why you didn't use a film like The Last Mimsy as a reference there?

According to James Cameron, they have already won. Everyones a slave to technology these days.

PC, tablets, phones, game devices, oculus rift, etc

the first phase is nearly complete. next wearable tech and slowly into modifying our bodies with tech.

Isn't this how the Matrix wound up using humanity as batteries!? Humanity's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness! "Curiosity".

twdll3632d ago

Basically how I heard it was that if we invent a self aware device that it could exponentially get smarter in a fraction of an instant... Some say having more intelligence than ALL THE COMPUTERS in existence today combined, in like half a second.. Spooky.. and makes me think.

EVs Explained: What is a kilowatt-hour, and while we're on the subject, what is a kilowatt?

When talking about EVs, kWh and kW are often mentioned without context, but neither is as complicated as you might think.

We need to gather the heroes of light to fight against this evil.

What If The Earth Was Flat?

Science is mysterious. People ask questions and with the tools at their disposal, scientists address a hypothesis. Geodesy is the Earth science of accurately measuring and understanding the Earth’s geometric shape, orientation in space and gravitational field. Years of research in the field of geodesy has told us that a sphere is a close approximation of …

These Flat Earth believers' are really funny sickos.

Cobra9512038d ago

As a group, they're the perfect illustration of an echo chamber. Think of them as a control group, where the concepts espoused are clearly wrong, but they believe they're getting valid science (like drug control groups believe they are getting meds instead of placebos). Good studies of people's impressionability as members of a greater whole can be accomplished here.

blacktiger2038d ago (Edited 2038d ago )

It's funny how you judge others, regardless where's the proof of them being sickos?

Anyone who truly thinks the earth is flat is mentally deficient.

1999: in 2019 AI would probably run the world we wont have to do anything.

2019: we're trying to convince people the world is round.

BioDead2036d ago

If earth is flat then most of the physics shouldn't work as they are working now. I saw a documentary on Netflix of this believe and I didn't get a single valid or scientific explanation from the believers how the flat earth works, why other planets are globes and earth is just flat, how the physics works with it, and so on. Seemingly flat earth is now in fashion, but it'll soon wears out. Hopefully.

Just imagine the number of people who would have to be in on the round "hoax" over the centuries for it to succeed. A few examples: Anyone who flies an airplane, or in one, around the world. Most international ship captains and crews. Meteorologists. Astronomers. Anyone professionally involved with satellites.

Kostche2035d ago

the world is flat, belive what you want, nasa the biggest hoaxers to the human race, and its funny watching them mug the human race off, enyoy the space travel... LUL
