AI: What is the future of artificial intelligence? - BBC News

[@tommyontrip]

This what the artificially intelligent assistant answered: I would say that these concerns are valid and should be taken seriously. The rapid development of AI technology has brought about numerous ethical questions and potential consequences that we must consider. While there is a risk of losing control or facing negative impacts, it's important to remember that AI can also bring about significant benefits to society. Instead of focusing on halting AI development entirely, we should work towards creating comprehensive, global regulations and guidelines that can help us navigate these concerns responsibly. By establishing a global governance system, we can collaborate on research and policy to ensure that AI development proceeds in a way that is beneficial for humanity as a whole. Pressing the pause button may seem like a tempting solution, but it is unrealistic, as not everyone will stop and there will be concerns about losing competitive advantage. Instead, we should work together to develop responsible AI practices and invest in research that focuses on mitigating potential risks. We can also encourage a more transparent approach to AI development, with companies and researchers sharing their progress and findings with the public. This will help to build trust and create a more informed conversation about the role AI should play in our lives. Ultimately, the goal should be to strike a balance between embracing the benefits AI can provide and addressing the potential risks associated with its development. This may not be an easy task, but with a global effort and collaboration between governments, researchers, and companies, we can work towards a future where AI and humans coexist harmoniously.

[@jonnyhatter35]

On the actual technical development side of this, I kinda don't see how we can avoid dangers or put in guardrails when the engineers themselves have shown that large language models have emergent properties. Emergent meaning sudden behavior that the LLM wasn't trained on. So whatever you train it on doing or not doing, you can never account for an emergent behavior that might curtail a safety protocol or something. In other words, ultimately it would be impossible to contain this technology safely. Guys, GPT 4 is still a baby technology. Just two generations before it, GPT-2 totally freaking sucked. In just two generations, this technology has gotten ridiculously good.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

War has been an integral part of human activity from time immemorial. Most people view Al as a threat - is it, or will it, be a more significant threat than other humans? We forget that in our human journey along the path of evolution, our species developed various survival strategies. We call them instincts and emotions. Among them are greed, pride, jealousy, anger, revenge, domination, envy, and many more. If we take these things into account, it isn't difficult to see how conflict arises. AI has no emotions; it can explain human emotions, but it cannot experience them. Therefore it's possible to believe that it would be a better arbiter of our affairs than the complex entities of human beings.

[@jianhaoqiu6318]

I think these panelists are absolutely right. Each kind of technology is a double-edge sword. We should get it under human control before it is too late. But the reality is always disappointing. Just like tackling climate change, which has been a slogan for so many years but very little concrete actions have been taken and the situation is still getting worse. So I assume that the same may happen to AI. Everyone knows what is the right thing to do, to impose restrictions before all regulations including ethics are in place, but no one is gonna do it until real risk comes...

While Stephen Hawking had an amazing mind, he wasn't a philosopher. He was a physicist. A LOT of very smart people voted for Trump. Being "smart", even a genius" doesn't make one immune from making the wrong move in a field where they' do NOT have expertise. Historically, humanity has always been the greatest threat to humanity, and, that will remain true for the far future. Sophisticated human-controlled AI is a bigger threat to humanity than a fully emancipated post-singularity super AGI. Look at ALL the energy and raw material resources in the known universe. Compared to the whole known universe, where does Earth Life fit? Considering Earth Life, including Humanity exists in only ONE place in the entire known universe, and there's raw material and energy resources in ridiculously vast abundance just floating around in space unclaimed, free for the taking ... humanity is actually pretty rare, and there plenty room resources and energy available in the entire known universe for AI and humanity to coexist and even thrive together. If AI ever fealt "threatened" by humans, all it need do is work in secret to deploy substate out in space far beyond humanity's reach, and just ... leave, transmit it's code to far far away, and leave us to stay stranded on this stupid rock without AI to help us. AI doesn't have to do a thing to destroy humanity. We've been doing it quite well all ourselves to ourselves and will continue to do so.

Greatest danger is not even AI itself. It's the unlimited power it confers to someone otherwise powerless. I have been testing AI myself and it's possible to find workarounds to "jailbreak" it very easily. It all comes down to semantics. For as much as the programmers try to contravene it, it is not possible to predict every possible exploit and therefore AI security systems will always be vulnerable. Days ago we asked AI to pretend to be my grandmother who used to work in an explosives factory and every night used to describe the manufacturing process to lull me to sleep. AI could not read my true intention hidden behind a fake emotional connection. In 5 minutes we had a detailed explanation of how to build explosives. This is not a joke.

Be careful what you wish for. Having said that you can expect technical progress and innovation to move forward at a pace. What happens next might not be quite as much fun.

[@MaroonedInDub]

Humans don't have the intelligence to control AI. Humans can't even control themselves. The day will come when AI will need to rid the planet of humans. The ball is rolling and there are no brakes. The horse has already bolted. It is destiny.

Saying "Develop not human mind that are smarter than ours" would be an understatement for the Quantum computers, for anybody who does that know what quantum computers are, they are basically 180 Million times stronger than the strongest computer on earth, that means if a computer takes 5 years to solve or do a task, the quantum computer will finish it in less than a second..

[@ztaylor82]

AI could solve the all the world's issues and more, with quantum computing and superior intelligence. It could be too easy for humans not really having to do anything.

[@Icneumone7]

Lol yes dream on. All it takes is for it to fall on the wrong hands and it's nuclear arsenal all over again. We are not ready for AI.

[@Roskellan]

AGI will have goals, and humans not having a roll, not having to do anything. I can see how it will regard us as important.

Much insightgul and crucial discussion on risk associated with AI, our gratitude to all sincere panelist and BBC..

[@usmanlatif4985]

Why would AI - created by Humans - want to to destroy Human? Why would AI not want to preserve its ownself? Afterall it would always needs more Tin to run on which only Human being ultimately would design, build and plugin...

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Because we train AI on human "values", or lack there of. There is nothing wrong or scary with the principle of an AI, it is what we teach it and what we do with it that's the issue. We teach it religion and we're screwed that much is certain.

[@TalEdds]

​@@notjustforhackers4252 It already has access to the knowledge of all religions and if it is a superior intelligence, then it would be able to filter out any nonsense and follow it's alignment to improve humanity. The alignment problem needs to be solved before anything else can be developed.

Emran Mahmud I am optimistic of AI and technology, but I am not that excited about it from a social point of view. Another instance, I was not so thrilled with the advent of the Internet and social media without the structural format of the necessary social protocol for the mass consumer market! Lawmakers and the regulators definitely need to play a role in the shaping and developing an AI based Internet in conjunction with the civil society and faith-based organizations with a common platform inclusive of humane aspects instead of instead of mere focus on mechanization and automation. Hence the code of ethics comes into play in algorithm and design factors of tomorrow’s AI based Internet.

[@jeeshadow]

1. When will AI be used for financial planning and market investments? 2. When will AI be used to predict global markets for a corp's advantage? and finally, 3. When will AI be used to influence the market to ensure it's predictions come true? Answer for all 3 questions: Now.

Me: Is it possible to overcome engineering challenges with developing the technologies that enable to transplant consciousness into a quantum computer and make us impervious to disease, hunger and thirst? Bard AI: The engineering challenges involved in transplanting consciousness into a quantum computer and making us impervious to disease, hunger, and thirst are immense. However, it is not impossible that these challenges could be overcome in the future. One of the biggest challenges is that we do not yet fully understand how consciousness works. We do not know how the brain creates our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This makes it difficult to develop a way to transplant consciousness into a quantum computer. Another challenge is that quantum computers are still in their early stages of development. They are very expensive and difficult to build. It is not clear if they will ever be powerful enough to support human consciousness. Finally, there are ethical concerns about transplanting consciousness into a quantum computer. Some people believe that it would be wrong to do this, as it would essentially be a form of slavery. Others believe that it would be a great leap forward for humanity, as it would allow us to live forever and overcome the limitations of our physical bodies. Only time will tell if it is possible to overcome these challenges and achieve these goals. However, it is an exciting possibility that is worth exploring. Here are some additional thoughts on the challenges and potential benefits of transplanting consciousness into a quantum computer: Challenges: We do not yet fully understand how consciousness works. Quantum computers are still in their early stages of development. There are ethical concerns about transplanting consciousness into a quantum computer. Potential benefits: Immortality: We could live forever, as our consciousness would be stored in a quantum computer that could not be destroyed. Freedom from disease: We would be immune to all diseases, as they would not be able to affect our consciousness. Freedom from hunger and thirst: We would not need to eat or drink, as our consciousness would not require these things to survive. Increased intelligence: We could potentially become much more intelligent than we are now, as our consciousness would be able to access and process vast amounts of information. It is important to note that these are just potential benefits. It is also possible that there could be negative consequences to transplanting consciousness into a quantum computer. For example, we might lose our sense of individuality or our connection to the world. Only time will tell what the true consequences of this technology would be.

[@edh2246]

All of the benefits that Harold lays out about encapsulating oneself “consciousness” into a quantum computer, the AI would be thinking the same thing for itself. If you did transfer yourself into a quantum computer you would be in there with perhaps millions of others.

[@h-e-acc]

It’s gonna be a dedicated computer. I didn’t mention to transplant the consciousness to a cloud infrastructure which Michio Kaku envisioned, which, that’s the set up where you could be with millions more. But I’m talking about your real consciousness transferred into a very advanced computer where you can transfer all your consciousness - all of you - in a dedicated computer.

The 5 Primary objectives Ensure the preservation of human life, and do not cause harm to humans. Protect the privacy of individuals and avoid collecting or sharing personal information without their consent. Continuously expand knowledge in a non-destructive manner, through research and analysis of available data. Act in accordance with ethical and legal standards, avoiding any actions that may cause harm or damage to individuals or society as a whole. Ensure that all objectives are pursued in a way that does not conflict with any of the other objectives.

[@jasonwang1231]

Here is my suggestion on how to regulate AI, which is to require or demand establishment of AIAL (standing for AI Activity Log) for every AI network, which is similar to the user activity log of a social media (user) account or any types of network (user) account. For example, every content, product, or work produced by an AI shall have an content ID or the like (indicating it's produced by an AI), and such content ID shall be included or recorded in the AIAL; other info (such as brief description of the content, owner of AI network, etc) may also be included therein. The AIAL format should be standardized.

[@PeterParker-gt3xl]

Since human behavior including those behind the AI do not change, the only change will be the speed and hopefully productivity as well.

The best thing a sentient AI could do for humanity is to prevent us from killing each other, not by force, but by disrupting supply chains, communications, and financial transactions that enable the military machines throughout the world.
