1. The AI Apocalypse terminator
There’s no question that AI has the ability to substantially enhance human lives. AI will make the roads safer, assist in medical, aide the crippled and the old, perform customer service and a lot of endless other tasks. However, AI also offers a huge danger, and this isn’t the stuff of science fiction, either. Top scientists and engineers including Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk feel that AI is a very serious, and severe threat to civilization.
It’s so risky that Max Tegmark, a physicist at MIT, likened it to the creation of nuclear weapons and said we may only be able to accomplish it perfectly the first time. In fact, there has been a drive to actually slow down development on AI and concentrate more on containment. Containment is vital because if we were to ever lose control over AI, we may never get it back. Then it’s only a question of time, as the AI could wipe out mankind since it could compute that humans are a virus-like organism, or it could murder people as a form of self-preservation. Essentially, AI will either cure all of our issues or kill us all. In other words, The Terminator and The Matrix aren’t nearly as farfetched as we previously imagined.
2. Nautilus nautilus
An intriguing advancement in artificial intelligence is an SGI Altix supercomputer dubbed Nautilus. It seems that, to a certain degree, Nautlius can anticipate the future. For example, it was able to forecast where Osama bin Laden was hiding within 125 miles, and was also able to foresee the Arab Spring that began in December of 2010.
Nautilus obtained this information from over 100 million news stories from all across the globe going back to 1945. The articles would be assessed for two separate criteria: the tone of the article, and the location of the narrative. This information resulted to a network of 100 trillion connections and the data was loaded into Nautilus. From that information, the computer was able to piece the information together and construct graphs that showed mood. For example, during the Arab Spring, mood in the neighbourhood was low before the demonstrations.
The originator of the discoveries, Kalev Leetaru from the University of Illinois’ Institute for Computing in the Humanities, Arts and Social Science, is working at making the information operate in real time. While Nautilus won’t precisely foresee the future, it may deliver mood projections comparable to economic forecasts or weather reports.
3. AI Will Become Smarter Than Humans 3po
With AI having the capacity to learn, computers are growing to be fairly clever. As of 2013, AI was nearly at the same intellectual level as a four-year-old and there have been many of breakthroughs since then. For example, in 2014 a supercomputer solved a complex arithmetic problem called Erdos discrepancy problem, which was published in 1930. The wonderful thing is that humans can’t even double verify the result since the equation is too lengthy. The file is 13-gigabytes, and just for reference, all of Wikipedia is around 10-gigbytes.
According to acclaimed futurist Ray Kurzweil, by 2029 AI will be at around the level of intelligent adult humans. Beyond that, anything is very much imaginable, particularly if AI can grow exponentially smarter. For example, Kurzweil thinks it might lead to something called singularity, which is when people and robots would blend into one entity.
