RE: Do You Trust This Computer? - A Mind-Boggling Documentary on Artificial Intelligence

in #technology7 years ago

Hey @earworm! Great post! I am fascinated with AI. Everything that humanity creates has the potential for good or evil. AI is interesting in that if you can think out far enough into the future you can see a time where it could become self-sustaining and with the incredible compounding effect of exponential growth It could become our master. What has been accomplished today in AI is incredible and mostly we are looking at human-like robots that sit in a lab and can talk. But, when these machines become mobile and infinitely more intelligent then they are today they will literally be god-like. They could in a matter of days solve our most complex problems. They could advance all aspects of life in a timeframe that is unimaginable to us today. They could also decide we are a nuisance and are holding them back from their goal. At that point humanity might be in trouble!

I totally agree. It's a mixture of excitement and awe and I hope that we will witness some major developments in this field in our lifetime!
