There has been a lot written and talked about it lately. I would also like to utter a few words about it.
The imminent AI Apocalypse will not unfold as sensationalized by the media, for there lies much panic and fear-mongering beneath such narratives. There will be no marauding robots rampaging through the city streets, discharging lethal volleys upon unsuspecting denizens, or subjugating the human race into bondage.
Instead, there will be a subtle and stealthy "AI apocalypse" whose presence will gracefully permeate our lives. In the process, AI will exert its transformative power and shape us in many ways, some for the good and some for the bad. To protect society, we must take action to the best of our ability and disseminate knowledge so that all can navigate this terrain with wisdom.
AI presents a remarkable opportunity for humankind to ascend to the proverbial "next stage of evolution." Yet, it demands a conscientious and discerning approach, lest we squander its potential. We may seize the bountiful prospects if we proceed with mindful deliberation, aware of its promises and pitfalls.
One thing can be said with certainty:
When it comes to artificial intelligence, we have only experienced and seen the tip of the iceberg so far.

1 年That is just foolishness! It seems much more likely that the artificial intelligence will mimic the minds of their human trainers. Most of the big investors in this field are power hungry sociopaths bordering on the malevolent. Unless the child is somehow more “ethical” than its parents, its much more likely to be more deceptive, more cunning and more destructive than any single human could hope to be.
