The AI Hype: A Silent Boundary Note
Adeyemi O. Opeoluwa, Ph.D.
Deputy Director, Scientific and Head, Business Development
AI is one of the greatest hypes of our time. I have always said AI will never take over human work or beat humans at what we do. There is no strong and complex computational power to make a machine human regarding thinking capacity and emotions.
The energy demand requirements and neural network interwovenness complexities are just out of this world. For now and in the future, man will remain the dominant type of intelligence.
The human mind and brain are far too advanced and will always beat any inorganic intelligence in learning new things at the spur and cheapest cost.
Consider what it costs to learn to drive or fly a plane compared to what self-driving firms spend on training their models. Is this sustainable?
I will continue in my next post about what the normalization of AI technology would bring to society. Inevitably, this advancement would be canceled, and we would return to a new normal.
I leave you with this thought line: If AI becomes dominant, who serves whom? Will AI serve man at the expense of man itself? Then, if the existential position of man is threatened, to what advantage do we have a system that is serving when it may eventually have no human to serve but itself?
