Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029

[LexCorp]

Defince human level of intelligence. lol

 

[QueerMike]

Look at what I quoted. He was using the rumor of people only using 10% of our brains, which is total BS.

Huh?

 

[LexCorp]

So I was thinking that Asimo (spelling) ? From the guys at Honda was pretty cool.

 

[Monster]

Personally I reckon cars are achieving quite a lot of intelligence already, mostly due to the fact that some of them are already talking back to us and complying with orders we give them, for example "Engine on".

Indeed they are smart but are they on the human level? What is the human level?

Exactly, all these scientists say "We want to achieve human intelligence within computers" but really we need to ask them "Are you sure these computers won't take over?" or "Will they become smarter than us?". Computers learn, so do we. Computers don't have a conscience, we do.

 

[Danalys]

they're fairly sure they'll be smarter than us. you can use the same means to predict they'll be as smart as humans to predict that 30 years later they'll be as smart as the population of the earth combined.

as for a conscience or self control such could be programmed or become emergence from the right set of rules. with computers if you can define taking over well enough you can say do not take over and it'd follow it as rigorously as it would follow the command to add 1 to 1.

How often does your computer crash?

Think of that.

 

[Danalys]

well it crashes it's not deliberately doing anything malicious. that's like worrying about people attacking you because they die. you should be more worried about bugs. human mistakes in programming leading to unwanted/incorrect answers or solutions to problems.

 

[Monster]

Everthing has its flaws.

Think of virus programmers, how well have they adapted over the years?

 

[Whirlysplat]

No computer is self aware. No sign of a computer ever being self aware exists. It could happen spontaneously, but, until a computer is self aware and has an imagination comments by scientists like this are ridiculous. A computer will never be as intelligent as a human until it knows it exists.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Cars becoming transformers will be the next 'thing' ... lol

 

[Monster]

Computers are not like living things, they don't adapt. They don't think for themselves unless being given a command and reproducing that.

 

[Danalys]

i don't see great strides in programs that say copy me.

 

[Whirlysplat]

Exactly. Until self awareness occurs, a computer has no intelligence. It is merely a complex calculator.

A set of codes.

 

[Whirlysplat]

A set of codes.

Indeed, a set of binary algorithms working together to form a running data structure.

 

[Danalys]

neural networks are quite different from commenly used computers. evolving programs have also been used in computing to find solutions no human explicitly commanded. the behaviour of simple creatures has been modeled by immitating the structure of their brain to some degree, and currently the firing patterns of human neurons are being simulated in small amounts.

 

[Monster]

Our brains think alike

They are completely different. In fact the workings of the brain are not well understood at the hemisphere level. Basic systems like th medulla oblongata and even the pons and mid brain are better understood. The conscious brain is far more than a series of de-polarisations of axons linked by neurotransmitters.

 

[Danalys]

well part of the goal of mimicing the brains operation is to understand the brain better. it's not all about making smarter or more human computers. it's about understanding humans themselves.

You ever hear of Isaac Asimov?

In his science fiction books he's famous for creating the idea of "the three laws or robotics". Neat idea.

What about the idea of the "ghost in the shell"?

alot of i robot was how the laws could fall apart under special circumstances. i'd wager that nearly all people working on AI have read or atleast understand the issues he brought up and are mindful of them.

One can only hope.
