Artificial Superintelligence - Why It's Already Too Late - 2019 FACTS

hello everyone welcome to team hack life today I'll be talking about artificial super intelligence and how ASI could destroy humanity technological advancements like artificial intelligence has always been met by apprehension especially when it ventures into the unknown or when the venture is to create innovations that will change how we experience life that was the case with airplanes electricity space travel the creation of atomic bombs and a whole lot of other discoveries however nothing has come close to the apprehension as well as the excitement that is associated with artificial super intelligence and how ASI could one day destroy humanity and if you think I'm just saying these types of things to scare people well people like Elon Musk has gone on records many times saying that AI is the greatest threat to humanity period here's an excerpt of the Joe Rogan podcast he was featured on and this will give you a little bit of an idea of what he was talking about the percentage of intelligence that is not human is increasing and eventually we will represent a very small percentage of intelligence I try to convince people to slow down slow down AI to regulate AI this was futile I tried for years usually will be something some new technology will cause damage or death there will be an outcry they will be investigation years will pass there will be some sort of insight committee they will be rulemaking then there will be oversight eventually regulations this all takes many years this is the normal course of things this timeframe is not relevant to AI you can't take ten years from a point which is dangerous mister late I did what one thing is for sure we will not control it that is just a small voiceover of Elon Musk and I will have the full interview with Joe Rogan in the description below after you've listened to this video please let me know in the comment section what do you think is the greatest threat to humanity do you think it is artificial superintelligence or do you think it's something else I'd love to hear from you as with most things assigns pop culture has helped fuel the speculation from Star Wars to Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey The Matrix Terminator Resident Evil and more recently transcendence the suggestion has been that as machines acquire more cognitive abilities it is inevitable that they will seek to one day take the place of humans dismissing this conclusion of events is easy however when you realize how far a AI has come and that a majority of the researchers in the field believe that we will achieve artificial general intelligence in the next two decades the issue of having machines or systems that are more intelligence than human raises concern to fully understand artificial superintelligence and the negative impact it can someday have an understanding of the various levels of artificial intelligence is essential the basic definition of artificial intelligence is a machine that can simulate or mimic the intellectual abilities of a human that is the ability to get new information and the rules governing the use of this information reasoning using the rules and data to reach definite conclusions and problem-solving other skills depending on the purpose of the AI may include understanding language and speech there are however three levels of artificial intelligence the first one being artificial narrow intelligence which is a n I ni is the simplest form of AI and the one currently in existence the difference with the rest of the AI still under research and development is that a and I specializes in a single task or field an AI is also present with varying abilities for example a calculator and the computer games AI against which you play it is also known as eke AI because it perceives and acts on its situation without the concept of the outside environment still even among Ani there are sophisticated systems such as the Google search engine Siri and algorithms for large online stores like Amazon as well as online movie stores like Netflix the difference between these modern Ani and the earlier form is that they can go backward in time and study past behaviors the N I will then store the information along with whatever has been freak programmed in them they will then use this information in the current and future instances to make more accurate decisions there is further ongoing work in the Ani field that should see them able to diagnose and recommend medical care to patients prepare taxes offer legal counsel and drive cars the second type of AI is artificial general intelligence also known as AGI artificial general intelligence is the next step up of artificial intelligence it means artificial intelligence with human level capacity across all areas while most and I can replicate or even surpass the human ability in one area they cannot match it or perform any functions in a different space the generalist aspect of the human mind is what makes it unique and powerful and AGI would need to be able to learn as the human brain does through its own experiences with the world instead of just the data programmed in it it is projected that the world would see the advent of AG eyes by the year 2030 and now for the third type of AI artificial super intelligence which is a si artificial super intelligence is the last step in AI and will have the ability to surpass or outperform the most intelligent humans in every intellectual factor and by an extreme margin it's learning and knowledge will be infinite it will also have the ability to create better machines than humans which various thinkers believe would result in an intelligence explosion an event that is feared will leave humans left behind in the evolution curve the attainment of artificial superintelligence is the most feared stage of artificial intelligence because it is highly unlikely that any intelligent form will want to lose its autonomy to a less intelligent one even before getting to the artificial superintelligence level there are already several negative impacts being experienced as a result of AI one of which would include job losses every technological innovations has always resulted in a massive loss of employment most of the time these has been compensated by the opening up of new fields in the marketplace and most of the time requiring little training however artificial intelligence is set to redefine the whole working culture it does not require supervisors and as it spreads in all industries and aspects of society many people will find themselves jobless or working far fewer hours from drivers security people teachers to doctors lawyers pilots stock traders more professionals will be out of work with some already experiencing the effects it is also not feasible to suggest all these people will suddenly become programmers and even then AI itself will be doing that it will cause upheaval as people look for ways to earn livelihood and adapt to the changing work culture and that leads to a second negative impact is the pressure on society support system most people who have been rendered redundant and who lack any skills to adapt to the job market usually ends up on welfare however when a large number of people are rendered obsolete and already stretch the system will not be sufficient anymore and then everyone will feel the impact as taxes rise to help support the social programs a third negative impact is invasion of privacy the use of AI has already led to many issues with privacy from spying people's online activities to their daily activities when interacting with other AI powered systems like cornica echo and other assistant software can bridge analytic ah is a case in point in which AI was you is not only to spy on people's preferences but further use the information obtained to target the individuals with political messages meant to change the outcome of elections worldwide unfortunately many incidents had already happened after uncovering this issue and the fourth negative impact already being experienced is the need for trial and error before perfecting the system every innovation requires some level of testing and there is risk associated with the initial use in public however with all other technologies the Creator is fully understood the system and knew their potential dangers resulting in the placement of safeguards the problem with recent forms of AI is that they are still prone to glitches even in the field the creators do not yet understand how deep learning occurs and how the AI will react to new case scenarios such a situation has happened before in one case where a Microsoft chat robot with the persona of a girl turned into a profane Hitler loving robot after encountering a new user behavior in the form of bathing another more fatal example was the case of a self-driving Tesla where the AI autopilot camera and front-facing radar all failed to detect a tractor-trailer mistaking it for a variety of things resulting in an accident in Tesla's defense however the driver was repeatedly warned to take over the wheel unfortunately the driver was unresponsive there is a link of the full article regarding this incident in the description below such risks can only increase with the widespread use of AI as the creators miss out on vulnerabilities and need more years to fix emerging issues even as AI advances negative impact can only get more significant due to several AI dangers some of the risks are inherent due to the way AI works human errors or intentions now here's a look at ways in which a I can become very dangerous the first is the AI is programmed for destructive activities as it is often the case with any scientific field all nations are involved in a race to be the first to possess the most advanced form of AI this has inevitably led to the integration of AI into the military as the AI system gains more autonomy we could get to a point where war begins when an AI system responds to either Roga command or or wrongfully interprets a threat we could see a scenario where this happens and no one's able to shut them down as the AI follows a set goal of Defense another one is creating powerful AI systems even if artificial intelligence programming only allows it to do one thing in the wrong hands this could have a devastating impact from fraud through identity theft cyber attacks market crashes and even war are all possible unlike other war weapons that requires massive capital investments and can be affected by physical distance all one needs in this case is access to an AI system or a good programmer the increase in devastating cyber attacks across nations and corporations even security organizations like the FBI mean such a threat is always lurking and may be just a matter of time another danger is the lack of lining ones goal to the a eyes or the a eyes wrongful interpretation of inputs can result in a fatal result on both the user as well as the rest of the public take the simple case where you have an AI powered vehicle with advanced abilities if you request to get somewhere fast the AI will try to find the most efficient way to do which may clash with other people resulting in either traffic accidents and you may have little to no control in the midst of all these events writing efficient orders rely on how specific the goal can be which unfortunately is not how human functions and speech work on the other hand AI cannot fully translate human intentions through speech which can be a problem and of course one other danger is the lack of regulation and ethical framework in the developing AI as already mentioned developing AI has the advantage of being less capital intensive compared to other technological innovations it means a group of skilled programmers can create an AI in the privacy of their own basement given that most of the frontrunners are keeping their breakthrough secret until they in vail their new products little is known about any safeguards and threats posed by each advanced AI introduced for public use the lack of regulation means humanity could find itself using AI with capabilities users do not understand and even the creators has no control or safeguards and that leads us to the ultimate threat to humanity the main danger that most scholars in the field of tech and science like Elon Musk's Bill Gates and the late Stephen Hawkins are apprehensive about is what may happen the moment AI gets to the artificial general intelligence level and artificial super intelligence these two levels of artificial intelligence are no longer an object of science fiction but only a matter of time it is surprising that a little research has been spent on the kind of a safeguards that can be put in place these AI safeguards would be there to avoid the ultimate danger a ima posed to humanity like the Terminator for example the argument behind the extension threat posed by AI to humans is made on three primary front first a super intelligent AI may reach the level of self-awareness and start having its own goals different from what was programmed in it given its intellectual capacity it seeks to achieve these goals which may not align with humanity's goals another argument states that a machine even with superhuman intelligence will still stick to its original the only challenge is that such AI will develop self-preservation as a sub-goal and like humans the AI would seek to fulfill this through any means necessary they would regard any obstacle including being switched off as threats to its goal of creating a source of conflict the final argument borrows the self-preservation premise this time a aside would use self-preservation to pit themselves in competition for the limited resources one resource in particular is energy the ASI could then seek to eliminate humans to avoid competition for these limited resources but whatever is your inclination towards AI it is essential to know that surveys done amongst researchers in the field has the most pessimistic ones saying artificial super intelligence will be reached in the next 75 years the optimistic researchers would have that technology invented much sooner it could ultimately be man's last innovation should intelligence explosion occur and the consequences may have a catastrophic impact on humankind's existence let me know in the comments section if you believe this type of danger is worth worrying about the more I tend to dive into this subject and also listen to some of Ilan masses interview about AI I tend to believe that this could become a real problem to humanity thank you for watching leave a thumbs up and also
