When artificial intelligence is stronger than the human mind, what will the world be like?

Future research scientists give a lot of speculation about what might happen to human society after Singularity - when mechanical wisdom transcends human intellect. It is a prospect that is somewhat dark, but equally interesting.

Future researchers believe that human society will completely change after Singularity - when artificial intelligence overcomes human intellect.

How this happened is "nine people ten comments" , but most scholars believe that Singularity will happen in the next century. And of course, the consequences Singularity brings, will be somewhat interesting - but also scary.

Everything will change completely

A "new horizon" will open after Singularity.

The term " Singularity" was used for the first time with a technological meaning (distinct from the "space-time singularity" in physics) by mathematician John von Neumann in 1958.

According to him: "The technology development at dizzying speed, along with the changes in the way people live, will create an inevitable singularity point that after that, human life will change. Things that are inherently familiar to humans will completely disappear. "

The "intellectual explosion" will allow machines to create better machines

Machines not only leave us intellectually, but they also feel that people are no longer needed.

In an article made by mathematician IJ Good in 1965, he predicted that, gradually, the machines could make their own more complete machines.

His words are as follows:

"There will be a super smart machine capable of transcending the intellectual capabilities of all human beings.

If we look more closely, we can see that the design and manufacture of machines also belong to the "intellectual ability" of humans. So, of course, if the above "super smart" machine exists, they will be able to design and create another machine that is much smarter. And when this happens, there will be a "intellectual explosion" that makes the machine's intelligence far out of the human's intellect.

And most likely, the "super smart machine" will become the last invention made by humans. "

Even Stephen Hawking expressed concern.

According to his words in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit: "If artificial intelligence becomes better than humans in designing AI, we will encounter one The explosion of intelligence, which will result in the intelligence of machines, will be very, very many times more than humans', even more than when comparing human intellect with snails ".

The machines (most likely) will come to govern

Alan Turing is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, in the movie "The Imitation Game".

British mathematician and cryptographer Alan Turing said that the future after Singularity would be extremely dark.

According to him, machines not only leave us intellectually, but they also feel that people are no longer needed.

"Once the machine can think for itself, it will not take long for them to embrace human power.

Machines will not worry about dying, and they can also interact with each other to upgrade their intelligence several times. It will be time for people to be mentally prepared for the machine to take control. "

Some scholars believe that Singularity is a time when people find their "missionaries"

Scenes like in the "Battlestar Galatica" may take place.

Alan Turing's thinking about artificial intelligence as an evolutionary form received the support of Hans Moravec robot researcher at Carnegie Mellon University. According to him, AI machines will "inherit" human society.

In the book "Mind Children: The Future of Robot and Human Intelligence", Moravec predicts that robots will become an artificial creature between the 30s and 40s of this century. They will evolve from humans, but they are far from humans, like between humans and gibbons.

They will become "human missionaries" , just like in "Battlestar Galactica" or many other fiction books. And although machines are the product of human intellect, but by then, they will grow independently without us.

Most likely, artificial intelligence will assume that people are no longer needed

Artificial intelligence may be more dangerous than any other weapon.

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, is investing heavily in artificial intelligence.

On his Twitter, he tweeted: "Artificial intelligence may be even more dangerous than an atomic bomb" , and also advises people to read Nick Bostrom's "Superintelligence" to understand why.

Nick Bostrom is the founder of the Institute for Human Future at Oxford. According to him, artificial intelligence after Singularity will make our lives completely different.

"There will be great potential risks, threatening the natural life on Earth, from the intelligence of the machines" - Nick Bostrom replied in an interview.

In "Superintelligence" , he writes that the post-Singularity Earth will become: "a society where economic miracles as well as great technological achievements take place, but there is no one to enjoy them. This is like a Disneyland park with no children to play. "

The economy will grow rapidly

After Singularity, it will only take a week, up to a month to double.

Robin Hanson, now an economist at George Mason University, believes Singularity actually happened at least twice in history - two "agricultural revolution" and "industrial revolution." ".

Most likely, the technological revolution that took place at Singularity, will make human economic growth 60 to 250 times higher than it is today.

"The world economy, after Singularity, will only need a week, up to a month to double. While currently, we need about 15 years to achieve this" - Mr. Hanson said.

We can even prevent death

The problem of aging is no longer a human concern.

Aging researcher from Cambridge, Aubrey de Gray believes we will be able to end the aging process. He even said that "immortals" exist in human society.

According to him, we will find therapies that can "repair, as well as prevent the aging of muscle tissue as well as cells in the body" , leading to the human body not getting older. half.

Our bodies will not change, though many years have passed.

And then, will revive the dead

There will be no more widows.

Ray Kurzweil, a future researcher at Google, has repeatedly said that he will "revive" his father, Frederick Kurzweil, through artificial intelligence.

He believes that, by 2030, we can use Nanobot to separate human memories. Using that information combined with the DNA of the deceased, creating another human version in the virtual world is possible.

Similarly, the Humai project also stated that its goal is to revive people within the next 30 years, in the form of a robot using artificial intelligence.

Nanobot will connect our brain straight to the Internet

Nanobot - virus robots.

Kurzweil seems to be very interested in Nanobot - the virus robots . He believes that they can change people's perceptions through which the brains can communicate directly with each other. At the same time, learning anything new has become much simpler (just like in the Matrix movie).

And if people are able to link their brains to the cloud system, then perhaps, we will become immortal, at least in a virtual reality environment.
