Will Artificial Intelligence annihilate the human species?

The cabins on a robotic future have a power of attraction that has multiplied in recent times, so they have acquired a greater presence in arts such as film and cinema.Literature "Blade Runner", "Terminator" or "I, Robot" are just some of the many titles with which we are already very familiar.All of them included in the category of science fiction , by Of course, but are they so far from reality or is it something that we should believe?

Will Artificial Intelligence annihilate the human species?

Following the opinion of the neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris , the development of Artificial Intelligence will end escaping our control and will pose a threat for the human race ; We have already built a limited intelligence in our machines and these are even capable of developing an intelligence with enough flexibility to cover multiple fields.Therefore, the expert emphasizes that a radical improvement in our investigations is not necessary, but it is enough to continue with the usual advances to be led irremediably towards our own annihilation .

It also emphasizes our lack of awareness.We are so accustomed to the fictionalization of issue that in our imagination there is only room for a war of gigantic robots against humans, so we tend to label this situation as unlikely and we are unable to gather an appropriate emotional response to the consequences that are yet to come and that we do not know.

However, it will be a war very different from that internalized in our minds; the machines will not spontaneously become malevolas, but will end up developing a general intelligence that will exceed ours, being able to continue their improvement on their own and moving away from its improvement process .And it is that electronic circuits work a million times faster than biochemicals, so the machines think a million times faster than the minds that built them; the action of a machine over a week would be equivalent to 20,000 years of human development .

Will Artificial Intelligence annihilate the human species?

In this way, one divergence will inevitably occur every time greater between its objectives and ours , causing the destruction of human civilization as we know it today.So that we get a more graphic and clarifying idea, Harris establishes a similarity between the way in which human beings treat ants and the way in which the machines will end up treating us, being able to annihilate us without an apex of remorse.

Will Artificial Intelligence annihilate the human species?

Even putting us at best, yes we managed to develop a secure Artificial Intelligence , this would be the end of the most stupid human work and, in turn, also of intellectual work.In this scenario, the human being would surrender to leisure while he sees his political and economic system collapse, witnessing a health and unemployment inequality never before experienced.

We are not even talking about a distant future.According to Harris, Artificial Intelligence researchers use the pretext of time (talking about 50 or 100 years) with a reassuring purpose, but the neuroscientist seems to be clear that not even 50 years is enough time to develop necessary conditions that allow us to face the supremacy of Artificial intelligence.

What do you think? Do you think we will really perish, overcome by an Intelligence created by ourselves?
