Artificial Intelligence is the last human invention - Humanity will ever need to make … Human Level Intelligence of AI has 50% chance of appearing by 2045 The ultimate Limits of information processing in machines are far far greater than biological... Artificial Intelligence is the last human invention - Humanity will ever need to make … Human Level Intelligence of AI has 50% chance of appearing by 2045 The ultimate Limits of information processing in machines are far far greater than biological tissue - Due to physics - 1. BRAIN - a biological neuron fires at 200Hz (200 times a second) COMPUTER - while, a present day transistor operates at over 1GHz (over 1 billion times a second) 2. BRAIN - signals propagate slowly in axons - 100 m/s (maximum) COMPUTER - while, signals propagate at the speed of light (299792458 m/s) in Integrated circuits 3. BRAIN - has to fit inside a cranium (skull) COMPUTER - can be as large as a warehouse or larger The potential of super-intelligence lies dormant today … much like the power of the atom remained dormant till 1945… Once there is super-intelligence - (like we today control the fate of chimpanzees) -the fate of humanity will depend on what super-intelligence does or wants - What is the Goal it will seek through optimization? Setting the AI’s Goal will be critical As King Midas’ “goal” was poorly-specified or misconceived - everything he touched turned to gold… Making superintelligent A.I. is a really hard challenge. Making superintelligent A.I. that is safe involves some additional challenge on top of that. The risk is that if somebody figures out how to crack the first challenge without also having cracked the additional challenge of ensuring perfect safety. Once turned on - it won’t be possible to turn off - we cannot keep this super-intelligent genie locked up in a bottle.
