RE: Don't Be Afraid Of The Robotic Invasion
What if an AI is designed to value efficiency. Using incredibly logic systems and many multi core processing allowing it to compute things thousands of times per second that would take a small team of researchers a couple days to figure out. So they start making things more efficient. Energy, city lay outs, garbage disposal, you name it, give the program, an adaptive, intelligent program a problem and it will be solved. But now there is an inefficiency, humans are too slow in bringing the problems to the AI, so automation which has already been occurring on a grand scale for a while now fully loads this program in. It would be horribly wasteful to have seperate programs detailing utilities, might as well merge them so they all get covered together. So i'm not afraid of the robots or any AI :D Great post though shayne :D @shayne
I admit my knowledge of AI is next to nothing. I understand data, and code generally, but not the specifics of how AI works. However, I know it's just about sorting and compiling data and executing functions, which seems like a bit of a silly thing to be afraid of if the code is solidly written. Even at an unimaginably complex level, we could simply switch things off (unless we were stupid and get stuck in an AI loop of some sort).
Anyway, I'm not terribly scared of AI by any means, either.
