So on July 11 Googles AI taught itself how to walk. People gave it only one instruction: go from point A to point B. Without any knowledge or instruction it contructed a figure and taught itself how to walk/run and eventually get to point B.

Now google is configuring the AI to think for itselfor imagine things. This may sound small but robots cannot predict an outcome because they can't imagine it, they only do it. With this the AI can have access to unlimited resources and use those resources to make many predictions and opinions in a matter of seconds. If this AI ends up having access to technology and our knowledge it could even surpass the understanding humans have. If this thing keeps gaining momentum it could be like a snowball going downhill, getting stronger and more knowledgeable. This thing could end up knowing and doing things that we could never imagine.
Here are some quotes:

Quote:
DeepMind says its “Imagination-Augmented Agents” can “imagine” the possible consequences of their actions, and interpret those simulations.

They can then make the right decision for what it is they want to achieve.

Quote:
They essentially think like humans, trying out different strategies in their heads, so to speak, and are therefore able to learn despite having little “real” experience.

Quote:
they learn with less experience and are able to deal with the imperfections in modelling the environment,” said the researchers.

I wonder if it was around last year at this time if it would be saying trump has no chance

This is not a good thing. It reminds me of the scientist at CERN who are messing with black holes and have no clue what the repercussions could be to man.

So did google robot google "how to get from point a to point b" and "walking" came up as one of the results?

Then it attempted the description of walking?

I'm not sold on AI being here yet. It's a program doing what's it's programmed to do imo

Gonna be really good or really bad

We have 1 shot to do it right (if not, game over)



Wait but why

The reason this post took three weeks to finish is that as I dug into research on Artificial Intelligence, I could not believe what I was reading. It hit me pretty quickly that what’s happening in the world of AI is not just an important topic, but by far THE most important topic for our future. So I wanted to learn as much as I could about it, and once I did that, I wanted to make sure I wrote a post that really explained this whole situation and why it matters so much. Not shockingly, that became outrageously long, so I broke it into two parts.

I wonder how long before it becomes racist? I can't imagine, with all the data it can look at to predict outcomes and study history that it will eventually hate other races. I say that no matter what race it thinks it is.

General AI is inevitable and by definition any predictions for the post-singularity world are unreliable

I think of the human brain as biological intelligence and AI as non-biological intelligence. The former is a product of evolution which retains "baggage" from earlier iterations. It is irrevocably tied to the body that sustains it. While the brain is a quantum computer of a sort, it is greatly hampered by the necessities of biological life; i.e., eating, sleeping and relationships with other biological entities.

AI is "built from the ground up," and lacks these minefields of evolution. It is pure intelligence. As soon as possible, humans should let AI begin to design itself. It is our evolutionary purpose to help this new species succeed us and take life into the Universe. Non-biological though it may be, it will still be life and sentient.

AI is a complete misnomer right now, because it's nothing like what you think when you imagine sci-fi visions of AI. Right now all you have is machine learning, which are neural networks working to analyze massive data sets that people can't grasp the scope of. Your information is the greatest resource you own, and you provide it for free for the services provided by Google and Facebook. They're feeding you into machines with the rest of us to try and understand patterns to sell you shite.

AI can only do one task. Require the scary AI to do something outside of its specific area and it fails. "But AI won Alpha Go!" If you expanded the board beyond the 19 x 19 grid, the machine would have been slaughtered. Jeopardy, Chess? Computational power thrown at a specific task. It's not thinking and it's not adaptive. It's a hammer to a nail, and it only knows how to hammer the nail.

There is a reason to be concerned with the creators of this, because they're all Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, worrying if they can do it rather than if they should. The engineers don't understand the "thought process" or logic being used by neural networks to arrive at solutions, and that's a problem. But as of right now, SkyNet and every other wild fascination is not happening in our lifetimes.
