Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking likely wrong to fear advanced artificial intelligence

Posted by: Jason Moth June 24, 2015 in Artificial Intelligence, Headlines, Technology

Artificial intelligence has become a very popular topic these days thanks in no small part to well-known public figures such as Elon Musk or Stephen Hawking. Unfortunately, most of what we hear about this subject is pretty scary and usually ends with humanity being either destroyed or enslaved once our robotic creations inevitably rise up against us. But what if artificial intelligence could still stay on our side even after it becomes much smarter than us? For some reason most people seem to think that this is an unlikely scenario, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking and even Bill Gates included. Well, the good news is that not everybody feels the same way about this topic and there are, in fact, quite a few people that view AI as a great opportunity, as opposed to a threat to humanity.

One of these people is professor Lawrence Krauss, a world-renowned theoretical physicist who also happens to be the author of multiple bestselling books, the director of the Origins Project, and (among others) one of the first scientists to propose the concept of “dark energy.” In short, the man knows his stuff. Professor Krauss recently jumped in to share his own thoughts on the possibility of advanced artificial intelligence and for once the prospect doesn’t seem as grim anymore. Lawrence Krauss believes that computers will indeed become conscious one day, but contrary to many predictions, that day won’t necessarily have to kickstart the beginning of the end for mankind.

An interesting point made by professor Krauss is that AI could eventually have emotions, just like us. Since artificial intelligence is expected to become very smart thanks to its ability to learn new things at an extremely fast rate, who’s to say that it won’t end up learning what it means to be sad, happy, or afraid? If that case, it’s not far-fetched to think that artificial intelligence would have empathy for living things rather than an urge to destroy them like we see in most movies. The physicist also mentioned that he is aware of the concerns expressed by his colleague Stephen Hawking and others. Although he understands why some people are scared that AI could cause major problems for us at some point, Krauss is an optimist and thinks that a lot of good can come out of this technology as well. Here’s hoping he’s right on this one.

Machines are useful because they’re tools that help us do what we want to do. And I think computation machines are good examples of that. One has to be very careful in creating machines to not assume they’re more capable than they are. That’s true in cars. That’s true in vehicles that we make. That’s true in weapons we create. That’s true in defensive mechanisms we create. And so to me the dangers of AI are mostly due to the fact that people may assume the devices they create are more capable than they are and don’t need more control and monitoring. I guess I find the opportunities to be far more exciting than the dangers. The unknown is always dangerous but ultimately machines and computational machines are improving our lives in many ways.

Besides, at the moment artificial intelligence is far less advanced than people give it credit for. We may need to start worrying in a decade or so, but for now AI robots apparently can’t even fold laundry properly according to professor Krauss. Admittedly, Facebook does have rather impressive artificial intelligence that can generate some pretty realistic images, however, that software is unlikely to become sentient anytime 

==================================================

I THINK :

Not only " Likely  wrong "  but    surely  wrong ..

Artficial  Inttelleligenc  ( Beccause  it  is   'Artifficial ' )  can  never  overwhelm  or  supersede  the   ORIGINAL  or '  Root -Source'  i.e    COSMIC  INTELLIGENCE   by    common Sense    or   even  Einstein's  Rational  contemplation .

' elimentary  Watson , elimentary  '  ---- said  Sherlock  .H .
OR :
Sounds  like  a   Hypothesis  that  : '  decimal  may  someday  out-grow  the  integer '.

Yoga Day Brings Spotlight on Physical Exercise: WHO

NDTV

- ‎6 hours ago‎

Kolkata: Advocating support for the ancient Indian practice ahead of the International Day of Yoga, the World Health Organisation (WHO) today said it brings attention to the need for physical exercise 

================================================================

And  what   is  the   type  of   Yoga    or    'Physical  exercise ' For    Starving  Mass  or  B.P.L  ??

INDIAN  POLITICAL   STAGE :
==========================
Dreams  of   earlier  life    crushed  down
All  hopes  evaporating   fast
Once  this  Land  was  Work-house    of   PATRIOTS
Now  ' professional   Politicians ' are  plundering  their  Mother  land
for   self  -serving  game,
Over more :
 SCAMS   and  Corruptions   their and  under-cover  DEAL
their    playing  Dice !
Nepotism   the   deeper  'Mantra'  of  their  SOUL !

Sometimes,   on  introspection it  comes  out
whether NATIONAL  Looters  and  LEADERS  are  now not
more  WORSE  than    those  INVADERS  of
 the  PAST  En-Slaving  RULERS  OR  LORDS  !!

It  seems  now ;  all 'Paradise  lost  '  and   Black-hole  -Hell
Expanding  FAST !

MEMOIR  :

========

It  was  1986 ( ? )  that    my   mother  was  ailing  in  Calcutta  after  she  fell   from   the  bed  in  my  sister's  house(Santoshpur )   and  I  rushed  from  Delhi    to  be  by  her   side  . It  was   also  the   last  time  then  that  I  visited    Dakshineshwar  Temple and  drew  sketches  of  Ramakrisna   as   a  prayer  for   cure  of  my   mother .

Soon  I  started  again reading  ' Kathamrita '  &  " Leela   Prasanga " , Complete  Works    of  Swami  Vivekananda  and  other  book  e,g  Books  of  Romain Rolland , Max  Muller  ,  also  by  Girish   Ghosh   and  Advutananda (  Latu   Maharaj ). 

Then  then  I  came  to learn   that   Ramakrshna   in  his  last   days   and whilw  ill was  taken  away  by  his   12  young   disciples    to  Cossipur  

After wads   I  also  learnt  that    Swami  Vivekananda   after  coming  from  USA  was  not    allowed   to  enter  the  Temple  at  Dakshineshwar   for  he    crossed  " Kaalaa paani "(over-sea  crossing to  USA )  and  also because  Swamiji  befriended  foreigners (  Americans )  and  made  them   'disciples '.

That  was  on  me  like  the  ' last straw  n  camel's  back    and took  a  vow    not  to  visit Dakshineshar  any  more  for  devotional   practices  or  even  otherw ise

 *************                                      **********************

Now  for last  seven  years  and  also  after  coming from  USA  (  with  OCI ) , I  have   settled  permanently   in   konnagar , ( on the  bank  of  Gonga ), W.B   and  yet  have  not  visited    Dakshineshwar  even  once  though  iam  now    more  devote  to  Vivekananda    and  Ramakishna -SreeMaa  and  am  even  reading  and  writing    more  about them , as  a   self -styled  devotee.

I  do  not   think   Spiritually  ,  these  spiritual  giant  - soul-s  are  any  more  linked  with    that  Temple  any  more .  I  even  learnt  that  this  oranisation  is  now   run by  different   system  and  not connected  with  Belur Math   in  true  sense .

Of  course   this  is   only my    personal  view  and  closed -circuit  -information.

 I  THINK :

Both  Dakshineshwar  &  Kaali -Ghaat-  Kalibari    , are  huge  Commercial  Religious   Industry  under  Some     TRUSTEE-s    and  managed  by  3  -Yearly  AUCTION / CONTRACT and  with  huge  Gold -stock  too.

Only  Sharlock  Holmes    needs  to  be  re-born  to  tell..

And   huge   masses  are    rushing  blindly  to  get  mammon -reward-s !
