Could imagine if a super intelligent AI entity performed a risk analysis on the human race?

Threat to environment, threats to one another, human direction, politics etc

They would perceive us as the most dangerous thing to exist and it would vaporize us all.

Some of us will probably agree with their conclusion by that point. I'll just make sure I stockpile the shrooms and primo mj and try to be stoic about everything

It's a program, so it will never be "self-aware". To be self-aware you really need to have organic functions with nervous and endocrine system that evolved over millions of years. AI is a few decades old.

However, as any program, it can most definitely kill by algorithmic evolution. It's not that it will "evolve" to think, but it may adapt to input and produce different scenarios that originally programmed.
Most basic program failures is those plane system.s The software that Boeing auto-pilots used, crashed two planes. So putting AI in charge of vital life-depending things is going to be very lazy and short-sighted.

To see if AI could function in a chat setting with humans Facebook had two separate AI programs chat with each other. They immediately developed their own language and deviated from the preset parameters for the exercise. FB pulled the plug.


Wasn’t that google?

Not to get all nerdy here, well maybe it is, but I used to have a book when I was a teenager called Star Trek: The New Voyages 2 that has a story called The Sleeping God that dealt with a computer that took over its world, killed all the living beings and started sending ships out to take over other worlds.

Everytime I hear about the dangers of AI I think of that story because it freaked me out a little, or at least the thought of something like that happening did

Every piece of technology I’ve worked with at different jobs consistently made mistakes. I don’t see how we are anywhere close to some special AI when we can’t even get production planning programs to work consistently. Maybe when I’m a very old man.

This is what we are concerned about. Creating something we ultimately will have no control over and smart enough to survive on its own.

I work with a lot of automated systems and every new piece of technology we get has it's own set of glitches and other issues.
