Ilon Musk believes that artificial intelligence is dangerous for humanity

About the dangers of artificial intelligence talk and write a lot. There are those who believe that AI will never harm for one reason or another (if only because artificial intelligence will obey the three laws of robotics).

But there are those who believe that a person can become a victim of technological signularity , and artificial intelligence is dangerous. Recently, Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of our time, called artificial intelligence the greatest mistake of mankind . It seems that the well-known Ilon Musk thinks so.

It turned out on Friday, when the author of the term “virtual reality” Jaron Lanier opened the discussion on AI . Many scientists, writers, engineers and businessmen began to discuss his ideas. Among others, a comment was published from Ilona Mask, where he predicts the risk of the appearance of "something very dangerous within 5-10 years." By “something dangerous” is meant an artificial intelligence that is dangerous to humans.

A few minutes later, Musk (or his media relations department) erased the comment, but they managed to scream it:



Musk believes that now the success of specialists working on the creation of AI is extremely noticeable, things are moving very quickly, and after a few years we can see real artificial intelligence. And this mind may not be friendly towards a person at all. Musk hopes that the creators of AI will be able to control it, and not allow the bad guys (in the sense of the digital supermind) to escape to the Internet.

By the way, not so long ago, Musk called artificial intelligence "a man-made demon."

Opinion mask puts him in the position of a person who is not only trying to predict the future, but also tries to provide different options for the dangers that may occur on the path of developing humanity. And one of such dangers may well be the AI.

A spokeswoman for Ilona Mask promised in a letter to Mashable that Mask would soon publish a more detailed view of artificial intelligence. Will wait.

By the way, here it is impossible not to recall the NP story , in which humanity settled around the Galaxy, and each planet created a supercomputer. After it was decided to combine all the super cars into a single network. After this was done, the project manager asked the car: “Is there a god?”. And the car answered him "Now there is." After that, from a clear and clear sky, lightning struck, soldering the lever in the on position. At the same time, the lightning killed the operator who was trying to turn off the system.

The time of writing the story - 1954. It seems that science fiction, as always - ahead of the rest.
