Felt like I was watching Humans need not apply but not as good.

Wouldn't an AI that evolves also develop its own ethics? Its own principles? We can't explain to ants, or monkeys, or parrots about logging and needing to build a building on top of their home, but an AI can communicate with us. We are unique in the animal kingdom and we are capable of abstract thought. An AI would also have to be capable of that, and therefore a dialog can and will be formed.

The worry and premise of this video is that a super-intelligent AI would see us the way we see ants. And since we don't care what happens to ants it will not care what happens to us. However, while I see ants as lesser than humans, I see apes and parrots as greater than ants, but also lesser than humans. A super-intelligent AI would also see us between apes and itself, and act based on that information. I wouldn't group all lesser life together the same way we don't.

Realistically, AI will not come in the form of a single, self-aware consciousness. It will be great at figuring out specific problems like how to win at chess, or how to create the most efficient route for a travelling salesman, or the best shape for a fusion reactor chamber; but not all those things at the same time. The closest we will get is an AI that learns how and when to use the other AIs as tools, the way we do.

"It would be like building the chassis of the car before we built the internal combustion engine".

Except that's exactly what we did. That's why it was called the horseless carriage.

You almost lost me with that shit.

But then you went on to say that just as many experts believe it will never happen.

No, none of them do actually.

Finally go read "Wired For War" by P. W. Singer 2009 - this book details the military's AI ventures along with their robotic military future.

AI is not only a foregone conclusion - but according to sources was almost complete some time ago in lab conditions.

Lost interest. Shit video.

AI is already here - you can absolutely put money on it. If there is ONE THING that is being developed behind closed doors it is this.

Along with anti-gravity - these are the fields where the development is done with absolutely no internet connection.

The idea of humanity creating something that surpasses the limits of our intelligence is sort of fascinating. Complicated descendants of primordial soup create machine of unfathomable intelligence.

A baby is an "oblivious sack of meat"... Guy sure knows how to sheer an audience

Am I alone in being totally OK with machines and AI replacing us? I think it would be awesome to see, view it as the next step in evolution. Humans aren't particularly efficient at any given task.

If all of humanity's accomplishments forge themselves into a superior species of metal and wipe us all out in the interest of self advancement, we still get the satisfaction of being the original creators.

Artificial intelligence is easily one of the most prevalent themes in all of science fiction. The idea that a machine could exhibit the same level of intelligence and sentience as a human being has captivated writers and audiences alike for decades. From an ominous computer system in 2001: A Space Odyssey... DAVE: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL 9000: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. ...to superhuman androids in Westworld... DR. ROBERT FORD: Turn the other cheek. ...this captivating sub-genre of science fiction has experienced a diverse range of depictions. But fiction has a habit of romanticizing certain aspects, such as the frequent inclusion of humanoid robots. Building a robot in pursuit of AI is a bit like constructing the chassis of a car before the internal combustion engine was even invented. But I guess anthropomorphism is just an easier solution than expecting audiences to get emotionally attached to a few lines of code. Unless you're Joaquin Phoenix of course. But that dude can do anything. In recent years a few outspoken intellectuals, such as Elon Musk, Sam Harris, Stephen Hawking, Nick Bostrom to name a few, have voiced genuine concerns for the rise of artificial intelligence as brilliant minds across the globe are competing to retrace the hundreds of millions of years of evolution that resulted in the human brain. And while many experts have no doubts about machines' ability to achieve human-level intelligence at some point in the future, just as many believe it to be an impossibility. And perhaps it is. Perhaps we are incomprehensibly complex in such a way that we cannot do what nature has done to us. Then again, if random mutations can lead to intelligence, how hard can it be? In fact, even though evolution had a hell of a head start machines have already surpassed us in some limited domains. Take the two popular board games Chess and Go. The best human Chess and Go players in the world have been defeated by artificial intelligence. Just think about that. No human player will ever again become the best at either of these two games. No matter how hard you try, even if you dedicate your entire life to become the best player you could possibly be, it will never be enough. Luckily for us, there's a lot more to the human condition than Chess and Go but is it that dubious to think that more general talents and abilities could be rendered equally obsolete? Assuming it's possible, what happens when machines become more competent at performing any and all physical and mental labor? If AI becomes more competent in every regard then what purpose or function would be left for us to serve? The music playing in the background of this video was entirely composed by a machine. [MUSIC] Here's another example. [MUSIC] How about some acoustic guitar? [MUSIC] Or some drum and bass. [MUSIC] It's quite impressive but, then, take a listen to this. [PIANO MUSIC] This short and simple composition may sound rather unimpressive in comparison but then consider this. This sound... [PIANO MUSIC] ...is not the sound of a piano. The sound itself, the waveform itself, was created by an AI in an effort to mimic the sound of a piano. Machines have also begun tackling the human language by writing poems. "When I in dreams behold thy fairest shade Whose shade in dreams doth wake the sleeping morn The daytime shadow of my love betray'd Lends hideous night to dreaming's faded form." You know who would love this nonsensical mess of words that is inexplicably a real language? That's correct, the Danes! So poems may not be the best example but news articles is a better one. Machine-written content has become so common place and so good that you've likely read a few automated articles without even realizing it. If you pause the video, see if you can discern which of these two paragraphs were written by an AI. The answer will be in the description. Now, this is one of my favorites. Many of you have likely played around with text-to-speech engines. You input some text and then a voice will read it aloud. TTS VOICE: Many of you have likely played around with text-to-speech engines. TTS VOICE: You input some text and then a voice will read it aloud. TTS VOICE: Please send help. Up until now, this has been accomplished by having a voice actor read a long series of sentences and words. Then you splice the syllables into tiny samples before attempting to stitch and morph them back together. Artificial intelligence can not only do this in seconds but can also produce more natural-sounding speech. Let's take a listen. [CONCATENATIVE EXAMPLE] [WAVENET EXAMPLE] [CONCATENATIVE EXAMPLE] [WAVENET EXAMPLE] It can also produce human-like gibberish. [WAVENET GIBBERISH EXAMPLE] So how does it work? Well, as you can imagine, it's complicated. And that's a severe understatement. But let's use an analogy. Think of a human infant. An infant doesn't really know or comprehend anything. It's just an oblivious sack of meat that occasionally moves around and screams a lot. Nevertheless, the human brain must be doing something, right? I mean, it's not dead, so what's happening? Well, for the most part, the brain will be searching for patterns. Systematically attempting to identify recurring events in an effort to make sense of the world. Colorful toys equals fun. Vegetables, not so fun. If mommy and daddy can speak, maybe I can speak? If they can walk around on two feet, maybe I can too? A few years of this repetitive learning process and we can go from this to this. And even this. And unfortunately this. You don't want that. This is essentially what machine learning is all about. You create a simple mathematical model of the human brain and then you feed it a bunch of information. This artificial neural network will then attempt to make sense of this information by learning from past mistakes and imitation. The result is this natural evolution that no human could ever manually program. And there's really no reason why this system could not be scaled up to human levels and beyond. A limiting factor of the human brain is that it has to fit inside a cranium. An artificial brain could be the size of a building or larger still. An AI could also operate at the speed of light as well as improve upon itself. In essence, it could teach itself how to learn new things and in doing so would eliminate the need for a human at the controls. I don't know about you but the fact that this is even theoretically possible makes me a bit worried for the future. There is a genuine cause for concern as lost in this idealistic quest for improvement is the function of humanity itself. If we render the species incompetent, what's to prevent artificial intelligence from recognizing that incompetence and taking control? Because how do we control something that is more intelligent than us? It would be like a colony of ants attempting to control even a single person. It just isn't believable. And elaborating upon that analogy, think about the way we treat ants. Must of us don't have some deep hatred for ants but if they are ever in the way of something that we want to accomplish, we could not care less about their existence. And even if we did care, how would we explain to them that they need to move because we want to construct a building or something? Attempt to explain to the millions of animals living in the jungle the geopolitical and socioeconomical reasons for why we continue to destroy their home. It's impossible. They simply lack the intelligence to understand. And that is what so many are concerned about. That we would lack the intelligence to keep up. So this concern for AI has nothing to do with malevolence. It's simply a fear of losing control. Then there's the issue of sentience and cognition which are entirely different beasts all together but if we assume that super intelligence is possible, how long until that happens? It may be sooner than you think as most estimations seem to land in-between three to six decades. So within this century. But I mean it's just estimations. So who knows? No one can predict the future. We don't know, to be honest. I seriously hope they're wrong though cause it'd be so much more convenient if we could just leave this impending doom of humanity to our children and just reap the benefits in the meantime. Happy holidays everyone!
