Max Versace, the author of this article, is the CEO of Neurale, a deep-learning neural network software company, and the director of Neuromorphology Lab at Boston University. In this article, he resolutely opposes the “artificial intelligence threat theory†and believes that artificial intelligence not only does not pose a threat to humans, it instead indicates that a more moral and non-destructive human dawn will come from four aspects. Demonstrated his own argument.
With the emergence of super-intelligent artificial intelligence, some of the world's most influential and prominent figures began to worry that artificial intelligence will bring a havoc to humanity.
Stephen Hawking once co-wrote an article on this subject, and he sarcastically remarked in the article: "R&D artificial intelligence will become the biggest mistake in human history. Unfortunately, this may also be the last mistake. Because the rise of artificial intelligence may be the end of human civilization." Bill Gates expressed similar concerns about artificial intelligence.
Musk also sees artificial intelligence as the greatest potential threat to humanity. He once said: I think we must be very cautious about artificial intelligence. In my opinion, artificial intelligence may be the greatest threat to us. Therefore, we must conduct artificial intelligence research very carefully. I am increasingly convinced that we need to properly supervise research on artificial intelligence, probably at the national and international level, to ensure that we do not do something very stupid. With the development of artificial intelligence, we will summon the devil. Maybe you would think that we can control the devil with something like pentagrams and holy water, but that's not the case.
Musk also co-signed with Hawking, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and hundreds of other professionals to call for an ban on open arms for artificial intelligence weapons. The open letter stated that artificial intelligence weapons are the "third revolution in the field of war" after gunpowder and nuclear weapons. The ban on artificial intelligence weapons must be promulgated as soon as possible.
Not long ago, Musk’s remarks in front of all US governors were particularly impressive, not only because he focused on the great threat of artificial intelligence, but also strongly urged the government to intervene. "As far as artificial intelligence is concerned, we need to be more forward-looking in terms of control than passive response. It is too late when we set out artificial intelligence management regulations. I have been warning everyone, but wait until everyone sees Robots kill on the street and they will not know how to deal with it because it looks too fantastic."
Please, Musk, we are talking about super smart artificial intelligence, not Transformers movies.
The remarks of Musk et al. triggered fierce discussions in the media. Some people agree that feedback was received. Some other technology leaders also participated. Facebook founder and CEO Zuckerberg expressed his disapproval of the artificial intelligence threat theory in a Facebook Q&A live broadcast. “I think we can make the world a better place by inventing something. Artificial intelligence is one of them. I am very optimistic about the prospect of artificial intelligence. For those who advocate artificial intelligence threat theory, think that artificial intelligence will lead to the end of the world. I really don't understand what they think. That kind of speech is too negative and negative. To some extent, I think that is a very irresponsible remark.†Zuckerberg cited artificial intelligence All the benefits that will be brought to humans, such as improvements in the field of artificial intelligence in health care and automated driving.
Musk quickly responded to Zuckerberg's remarks, saying that Zuckerberg's understanding of artificial intelligence was "too restrictive."
However, my understanding of artificial intelligence is not limited. I think Zuckerberg's view is correct. In fact, I think Zuckerberg's views on the benefits of artificial intelligence are even somewhat conservative. The arrival of super-intelligent artificial intelligence is not merely a signal of the demise of humanity. It instead indicates a more moral and less destructive human dawn.
(a) Artificial intelligence will keep us honest
The first major argument of my opinion is that defining what is ethical for AI should be done in conjunction with redefining what is ethical for humanity. Although many efforts have been made on the philosophical or existential level, it is impossible to apply it practically. When we define game rules for artificial intelligence, we also need to force ourselves to follow this rule. As a result, artificial intelligence will allow us to strictly follow our own standards because artificial intelligence is omnipresent and omniscient. At this time, it is very difficult to commit crimes, because all information about each person and everything can be known and acquired.
(b) Artificial intelligence will eliminate our inherent bias
If living in a world dominated by omniscient, ubiquitous AI sounds like a dystopian nightmare, let's pause for a moment to think about the world we live in today. People all over the world are suffering from corruption, autocracy, poverty, anarchism and endless terrorism.
In the world we currently live in, we have a police force that maintains law and order. However, many of these police officers are vulnerable to prejudice and even discrimination, so they cannot protect each citizen equally.
Take the United States as an example. The high rate of imprisonment in the United States is astonishing: 22% of the world's prisoners are here, even though the U.S. population only accounts for 4.4% of the world population. Of all prisoners detained, one-third is African-American, although African-Americans only account for 13% of the US population. In addition, African-American drivers are 31% more likely to be stopped by police than white drivers, and African-Americans are twice as likely to be searched on daily traffic sites as whites.
Artificial intelligence can solve this problem.
By properly selecting training samples or artificial intelligence contacts, scientists have been able to create artificial intelligence that has less prejudice than humans. With the help of this artificial intelligence, the police will be forced to abandon their intentional or unintentional prejudice and not let their judgments be affected by age, gender or racial prejudice, and thus catch real bad people.
(c) Artificial intelligence can correct our mistakes in environmental protection
Monitoring with artificial intelligence sounds a bit creepy, but using artificial intelligence to save endangered species will never make you feel this way. There are many different ways to achieve this goal, and there are already several such cases. For example, drones armed with artificial intelligence may be the most effective way to prevent poachers from slaughtering elephants and rhinos in Africa.
(4) Artificial intelligence may save us
Artificial intelligence may save us from ourselves, from preventing wars and traffic accidents, to making more people able to afford health care costs, and using it to find lost children. Artificial intelligence has the potential to become more intelligent without the inherent flaws of humans. Although Musk and others expressed great concern about artificial intelligence, I think artificial intelligence can be used to benefit humanity in many ways. The scenes that benefit people are innumerable.
