Electronic Singularity Kyle Cich What is it? It is the point of time where a machine becomes more intelligent than the general human intellect. How is this possible? Moores law Advances in Artificial intelligence.
SLIDE 2
SLIDE 3
How is this possible?
- Moore’s law
- Advances in Artificial
intelligence.
- Human’s use of tools
SLIDE 4
Moore’s law
- transistors on a
microprocessor doubled every 12 to 18 months
SLIDE 5
SLIDE 6
Artificial intelligence
Two kinds narrow and general
- Narrow Artificial
Intelligence
- General Artificial
Intelligence
SLIDE 7
Advances in AI
1997 deep blue defeats chess world champion 2011 Watson beats most successful jeopardy champions Now some Self driving cars do not even need a steering wheel, home assistants such as alexa and google assistant
SLIDE 8
Humans use of tools Humans have used intelligence to make tools in order to survive and make life easier
SLIDE 9
Possible outcomes
- Merge with the machines
- Machines do all of our
work for us
- Machines could enslave
us
- Machines and humans
coexist
SLIDE 10
What are the ethical issues?
- Violates Kantian 2nd
prerogative
- How do we create these
machines to have our moral and ethical codes
SLIDE 11
Utilitarianism
- Benefits
○ No work ○ Solve complex problems faster ○ We can do whatever we want
- Costs
○ What to with unemployment ○ People without a purpose ○ How would anyone buy anything / economy
SLIDE 12
Trying to solve the issue
- Asimov's three laws
- Try to teach the
machines our moral codes
- Being cautious when
researching AI
SLIDE 13
conclusion
This is not a question of if but when the nearest estimate being 2030 We need it to start planning for when this happens We might need to give up some tech I believe we need to have plans in place and also be cautious about going forward with AI research
