ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
There are undoubted risks, not yet and possibly not soon, from Artificial Intelligence (AI). The dangers of creating an AI that has the capability to dominate humanity is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Nick Bostrom, in his excellent book “Superintelligence”, published last year, makes a strong case for the effective management of AI and for the need to create AIs that have good intent towards humanity. He is more optimistic than I am about the ability of humanity to manage that development.
The World Economic Forum has recently published a blog asking, “What risks does Artificial Intelligence pose? “It references an open letter from the top AI researchers in industry and academia (including Hawking and Musk) that argues that AI research and application is moving forward probably at a faster pace than most people realise and that its impact on society will only increase. So the letter seeks to ensure that any research ensures that AI systems behave in a way that is beneficial to humans.
