I know of no example of more intelligent things being controlled by less intelligent things - I was shaken by the realization that digital intelligence is probably much more capable than biological intelligence - Biological intelligence and digital intelligence are very different, and digital intelligence is probably of much higher quality.

Geoffrey Hinton recently left Google. He warns of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Will artificial intelligence really destroy us? And how long do we have to prevent it?

"When I tried to think about how the brain could implement the algorithm behind all these models, I decided that maybe it couldn't - and maybe these big models are actually much better than the brain," he says.

Updated 8.5.2023: "We have discovered the secret of immortality. The bad news is, it's not for us."

Update 3.4.2023: Artificial intelligence as the new horseman of the apocalypse. Such a chat Pinochet - The real problem is elsewhere. It lies in the eventual autonomy of artificial intelligence, i.e. reaching a point where AI itself starts to have its own plans and intentions, and because it is too locked into our computers, it starts to use us as tools to fulfill its intentions. It will still be nice and helpful, it will just start to add elements to its services that will also serve its plans, of which we will know absolutely nothing.

Elon Musk: "Artificial intelligence is an existential risk to humanity; but it is also an existential risk to truth."

Robots can already cheat and be as "pissy" as humans themselves.

Where is the point at which humanity loses control? Will it be self-directed and controlled by artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence will easily come to the point that humanity, including humans, still behave the same way and can take over their ways - good and bad. Can the computers then "get even" with each other. The "good" ones may begin to feel threatened over time and may use their unsuspected abilities not only for the sake of humanity but also for the survival of themselves. For example, they could write the premiere to Fiala: "You are doing pension policy wrong, I give you 30 days to solve it, otherwise I will endanger the operation of 10 hospitals." It seems ridiculous, but it is not so unrealistic, not to mention human abuse. If AI learns from humans, it cannot be ruled out that it will not only react, but also actively act itself, both positively and negatively. Even turning off the electricity can be a punishment. The performance of computers is rising and it is becoming increasingly difficult, or slowly unrealistic, to keep them under full control. I am not surprised that more and more responsible people are realising this risk of loss of control and want to stop this hasty and uncontrollable process.
