Re: Let's just hope AI's will be smarter than these researchers
Our evolved intelligence is a tool for our emotions and motivation. AI has no emotions or motivation except the goal or goals programmed into it. Think of a super smart calculator doing nothing until the return key is pressed.
The danger comes not from the potential mind but from the objectives given to it by a human programmer, and that is a real and deadly danger. If a super intelligence is directed against us or any group of us, our only recourse would be to pit another super AI against it.
AI programming will need to be more strictly controlled than nuclear weapons.
Also remember AI wont look humanoid unless we choose to emulate humans, but a grey cube instructed by someone like Putin could use its power to undermine and destroy any opposition.
