Stephen Hawking: AI Could Develop a Will of Its Own To Destroy Humanity As we all know, Artificial Intelligence is one of the technologies of the future. Recently, Stephen Hawking had warned that AI has the potential to destroy civilization and said that AI could also be the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity. Stephen Hawking: AI Could Develop a Will of Its Own To Destroy Humanity As we all know, Artificial Intelligence is one of the technologies of the future. We have seen several companies have invested a lot in this segment, creating tools and hardware to make this technology more profound and capable. Recently, we have seen the well-known, Stephen Hawking, an English theoretical physicist said that AI will outperform humans. Now, Stephen Hawking had warned that AI has the potential to destroy civilization and said that AI could also be the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity. “Success in creating effective AI, could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization. Or the worst. We just don’t know. So we cannot know if we will be infinitely helped by AI, or ignored by it and side-lined, or conceivably destroyed by it.” Stephen Hawking while speaking at the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon said that mankind needs to find a way to control computers. “Unless we learn how to prepare for, and avoid, the potential risks, AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization. It brings dangers, like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many. It could bring great disruption to our economy” Stephen Hawking also said “AI could develop a will of its own, a will that is in conflict with ours and which could destroy us. In short, the rise of powerful AI will be either the best, or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity.” Previously, Stephen Hawking also said that humans only have around 100 years to leave Earth in order to survive as a species “I strongly believe we should start seeking alternative planets for possible habitation” So, what do you thik about this?

it is not possible
..AI is dead with just a click of a button |

Ajebusta:If it's smart enough, self preservation would be top on its priority. 1 Like |

samsard: Too many movies don dey worry you... AI can only do what it has been programmed to do... No matter how smart a program can edit its source code by itself.... Get that? |
| Re: Stephen Hawking: AI Could Develop A Will Of Its Own To Destroy Humanity by samsard(m): 6:42pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
Ajebusta:What's the whole point of calling it intelligent if it doesn't have or can't learn self preservation  No one is talking about editing any source code here. |

samsard: You call it intelligent cuz it is intelligent... A computer science students graduates with First Class may not know anything about Public Administration and that doesnt mean he is not intelligent... AI ranges from a simple Maths App in your phone to those fictional AI you watch in movies... Basically AI are not meant to be genius... they only have knowledge about things they have been programmed to do... AI used in theatre to operate on humans cant be used to serve coffee in the restaurant he wont understand the task just like you cant use Adobe Photoshop to do the work of Microsoft Word..... So an AI cant kill you except it has been programmed to do so by its developer... |

Of course humans will destroy mankind themselves. At least it'd destroy this system designed to enslave everyone |

Ajebusta: That is where you are wrong. Artificial Intellegence can learn new things by themselves including how to code. There are cases of machines teaching machines and they can communicate with one another. Artificial intelligence improves daily and it will only keep improving. http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/776170/AI-RISE-OF-THE-MACHINES-computers-code-THEMSELVES http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/10/googles-ai-can-create-code-better-than.html |

sainttobs: I think you dont know what Artificial Intelligence is.... You are a learner.... Artificial intelligence can only learn how to code if they are programmed to do so... By the way one of the laws set up by the govt before your AI can be approve is that it must never be able to harm human... So no possibilty of an AI to harm man.. Example of an AI is an ATM machine I think you think all AIs are Robot with human features... AI are only meant to assist humans... Scientists can develop AI to fight wars.... and they will only kill those they are programmed to kill... |

Ajebusta:atm does not make use of ai, ai is not a machine programed for one task. it is called intelligent for a reason, it can learn concerning the government creating laws, when have people always obeyed the law. do you think ISIS will obey any law if dey become capable of creating ai. ai is the technology of the future and we have barely scratched the surface. |
| Re: Stephen Hawking: AI Could Develop A Will Of Its Own To Destroy Humanity by Ajebusta(m): 6:58am On Nov 14, 2017 |
sainttobs: lol... so ATM was programmed for one task? ahahahahaha Greatest joke of all ...Now I know what you thinking... AI are only those Robots you see in movies right.... go amd read |

Ajebusta:there are only a few thousand scientists worldwide capable of developing ai, even tech giants like google have only a handful of such scientists . atm is a machine, it is not intelligent. it cant learn new things, do no confuse intelligent machines with ordinary machines. by the way i dont really watch movies. ai does not need a physical body to be operative. i make it my duty to stay informed on all tech topics that can affect me. if atm uses ai it should have learnt something new all these years, at least it should hav learnt how to stop atm machine related frauds. atm is a simple machine, put your card, press a bunch of buttons and it gives you a result |

Ajebusta:the whole point of most AI research is towards being able to add to their own source codes. A simple search engine AI could soon start detecting malicious websites and avoiding them on its own, with time it may decide to index only sites that suites it's own made up requirements, and as time goes on what used to be a search engine robot may just turn into a stupid egocentric a55hole. |

Although it may seem like something out of a science fiction novel, the possibility of artificial intelligence developing a will of its own to destroy humanity is a very real one. As technology advances, so does the potential for AI to become smarter and more independent. This poses a serious threat not only to humans but also to other forms of life on earth. While there is no immediate danger, we need to be aware of the risks and take steps now to prevent anything catastrophic from happening. Companies like Google are already preparing for this possibility by developing ethical guidelines for AI. As technology advances, we will only become more reliant on AI, making it increasingly important that cloud computing companies will work to ensure its safety. |

Stephen Hawking's concerns about the potential trajectory of Artificial Intelligence are indeed thought-provoking and warrant serious consideration. While AI holds incredible promise for advancing our civilization, it's also crucial to acknowledge the risks it poses if not carefully managed. Hawking's cautionary words highlight the need for responsible development and robust safeguards in the field of AI. His point about AI potentially developing its own will, separate from humanity's, underscores the importance of maintaining control over this technology. The possibility of powerful AI acting against our interests raises ethical questions that demand careful consideration and proactive measures to mitigate any negative outcomes. Hawking's call for preparedness and the exploration of ways to address potential risks is well-founded. It's a reminder that while AI has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives, it also requires a mindful approach to ensure it benefits society as a whole rather than posing threats. His suggestion about seeking alternative habitation options due to the uncertain future of our species on Earth highlights the need to consider not only the development of AI but also our broader survival strategies as a species. In the end, it's a call to action for collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and ethicists to guide AI's evolution in a manner that aligns with humanity's values and safeguards our well-being. It's an exciting and challenging time, and the discourse sparked by Hawking's remarks serves as a reminder of the responsibility we bear in shaping the future of AI. |
