“Computers will overtake humans with Artificial Intelligence within the next 100 years. When that happens, we need to make sure that the computers have goals aligned with ours.” A quote from Stephen Hawking on the topic of Artificial Intelligence. The goal of Artificial intelligence is to make a computer think and respond like a human. The idea of artificial Intelligence could be a bad thing because we can only control them to a point.
We already have Artificial Intelligence among us, it has been brought to us in the form of Siri, Cortana, Google Now, Amazon Alexa, and Amazon Echo. You can ask the assistant on your phone for help with almost anything, it is programmed to make it seem like you are almost talking to a human. The Amazon Alexa and Echo are more advanced than that. There are stories of people having both a Alexa and Echo in their homes and the two devices will talk to each other. “On November 30, 2016 Amazon announced that they will make the speech recognition and natural language processing technology behind Alexa available for developers under the name of Amazon Lex. This new service would allow developers to create their own chatbots that can interact in a conversational manner, similar to Alexa.” Technology is becoming more advanced everyday. Humans are only able to access 10% of their brain, what would happen if in theory Artificial Intelligence becomes programed to access more than 10% of their human based mimicking “brain”. What if they became smarter than us? Back in 1968, there was a movie made about the first Artificial Intelligence theory. The robot ends up turning its back on the humans and goes against them. That film, being the first view of Artificial Intelligence, scared a lot of people into not liking the idea of Artificial Intelligence. This film gave people reasons to be wary of it so that is why a lot of people probably do not like it. People were shown what is a possible negative outcome of this new idea of an invention. Why would people want to promote something that could harm them? What if they became smarter than us? That is the major reason that myself and others are wary of this new and producing technology. If Artificial Intelligence started using more than 10% of it’s brain then they could overthrow the human race. This world would go from being run by the human race to being run by more intelligently human based programs. I do not think that this is what was meant for this world to come to. Artificial Intelligence is a terrifying, new thing. There are possibilities that we can not be prepared for. What if they become smarter than us? Why would people want to promote something that could harm them? People are scared of new things but I believe that this is something to be questionable about.
