Should we be concerned about artificial intelligence + quantum computers?

Just read an article related to it. Gives me a slight sense of generalized anxiety but not sure why. What could possibly go wrong here?


quote:

(Phys.org)—For the first time, physicists have performed machine learning on a photonic quantum computer, demonstrating that quantum computers may be able to exponentially speed up the rate at which certain machine learning tasks are performed—in some cases, reducing the time from hundreds of thousands of years to mere seconds.


quote:

As the scientists explained, the quantum method can potentially accelerate machine learning far beyond what today's computers are capable of.


quote:

"We are working on controlling an increasingly large number of quantum bits for more powerful quantum machine learning," Lu said. "By controlling multiple degrees of freedom of a single photon, we aim to generate 6-photon, 18-qubit entanglement in the near future. Using semiconductor quantum dots, we are trying to build a solid-state platform for approximately 20-photon entanglement in about five years. With the enhanced ability in quantum control, we will perform more complicated quantum artificial intelligence tasks."

I don't think there is anything to worry about concerning artificial intelligence itself...

however, I do think that it could be very, very bad news when guided by someone who has bad intentions...

well sure
from the matrix
quote:

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.


This is what happens when computers realize that we are harming our planet and our very existence

I'm against it if Johnny Depp is the prototype. frick that weird, stoic a-hole.

Can't we just unplug them if they get out of hand?

We are incredibly far away from being able to build that type of computer

We actually aren't, but government regulation should keep it at bay for 30 years or so.

They could actually put a flying car in the driveway of everyone that wants to shell out 150k, but think of it, if Han Solo is the greatest pilot in the galaxy and we can't even keep him in the air, what does that say about the great waster of oxygen, Kanye West...
We'd have flying cars falling out of the sky everywhere

It's too late to do anything about it at this point. You cant stop it any more than you can stop cloning or any other scientific advancement.. Someone, somewhere will develop a self-aware computer. What will be will be.

People have panicked about this bullshite for 40 years. I'm more worried about psycho camel-frickers than super computers
