SOME tech titans paint a terrifying picture of a long-term in which computers destroy us like anything from the sci-fi movie The Terminator.
But this post-apocalyptic nightmare is a synthetic vision.
Many voices are emerging to assure us that robots are NOT about to conquer the world.
Instead of stealing our jobs or turning our weapons against humanity, AI innovations are more likely to eliminate monotony and help save lives.
In March, more than 1,000 tech experts called for a six-month pause on the most resilient AI systems due to “profound dangers to society and humanity. “
Soon after, British AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton resigned from his position at Google to highlight the dangers.
Critics say those calling for a heist are likely to worry about falling into the new arms race.
Dr Alex Karp, director of the artificial intelligence company Palantir, told the BBC: “A lot of other people who ask for a break ask for it because they don’t have a product. “
Those who have a product can see the benefits.
Another “godfather of AI,” Professor Yann LeCun, owner of Facebook and Instagram Meta, defended the accumulation of computing power.
And billionaire tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the Netscape Internet browser, thinks that instead of destroying us, AI advisors can even save lives in war.
He adds: “AI is a PC program like any other.
“His output spans everything from coding to medicine, from law to the artistic arts.
“It’s owned and controlled by people, just like any technology. “
Andreessen insisted that AI is not killer software and robots are in a position to come to life and “murder the human race or ruin everything. “
He adds: “A shorter description of what AI can be: a way to get to everything we care about.
Cambridge Uni educational Dr. Mansoor Ahmed-Rengers, founder of the technology company Open Origins, that the cyborg killer of Arnie Schwarzenegger in The Terminator is science fiction.
He says, “There are a lot of AI corporations that do marketing to make us feel like we’re closer than we are.
“But I don’t think computers will outperform us slightly in my lifetime, and I’m 30 years old. “
Even Hinton needs the studies to continue because the prospects — adding to fighting climate change, curing deadly diseases, and offering greater care to our aging population — outweigh the risks.
Britain’s foremost mathematician, Dr. Alan Turing, who played a key role in the early progression of computers, created a theoretical definition of “artificial intelligence. “
The Turing test indicated that a PC can speak in a manner indistinguishable from a human, which ultimately it can only do in express areas.
Kathleen Richardson, professor of ethics and culture of robots and artificial intelligence at De Montfort University in Leicester, says: “Computers are imitators, but they execute instructions. “
It is by focusing the computing power of artificial intelligence on a unique challenge, such as detecting a certain type of cancer, that will prove so beneficial.
We take a look at how AI can replace our global for the better. . .
EVERY week, there are new medical advances that would not have been imaginable without synthetic intelligence software.
Andreessen said: “Scientific advances, new technologies and new medicines will expand dramatically as AI helps us further decode the legislation of nature, and harness them to our advantage. “
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke about the life-saving opportunities of AI.
He said: “He has noticed recently that he has been helping other paralyzed people to walk, finding new antibiotics. “
Many cutting-edge concepts come from those shores.
A high-tech scanner has been invented through the British company Digistain that will offer a much more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.
Last week, Dr. Bea Bakshi, co-founder of the UK cancer detection formula C the Signs, explained the promising effects of an AI formula that detects life-threatening diseases early.
She said: “We are creating a long-term where each and every patient can get cancer using this AI prediction technology. “
Academics at the University of Bradford are now also employing AI for the evaluation of organs for donation.
A big concern is that synthetic intelligence will lead to mass unemployment, but Mr. Andreessen believes it will create more job opportunities as new industries form.
It states: “Economy-wide productivity expansion will increase dramatically, driving economic expansion, the creation of new industries, new jobs, and wage expansion, leading to a new era of greater prosperity around the world.
AI can simply stop worrying about mundane responsibilities and turn them into more rewarding responsibilities.
Dr. Ahmed-Rengers explains, “Anything boring about your current job, you can automate it.
“If you’re a PC programmer, you don’t need to waste your time writing code. “
Instead of the government spending a fortune on administration, it will be able to allocate the necessary budget to hire more police officers or nurses.
Driverless cars will be bad news for taxi or bus drivers.
But Ron Thaniel, senior director of policy and regulatory affairs at Zoox, which put the first robotaxi on public roads this year, says: “It will be mandatory to rent and exercise remote operators and others who can repair vehicles.
There are fears that academics are using synthetic intelligence to cheat; However, the complex software of many academics will raise educational standards.
Students can use systems like ChatGPT, which allows human-like conversations with a chatbot and can write emails and essays, to direct them to what they need.
AI will also enable more teaching, offering courses at the right point for fast learners.
Programs already exist to help teachers identify plagiarism. These can be updated to cope with advances in AI.
Professor Hassan Ugail, director of the Centre for Visual Computing at the University of Bradford, said: “AI will replace lives for the better.
“When the calculators came out, other people objected to the researchers using them.
“It’s the same with ChatGPT. We let academics use it.
ADVANCED algorithms are already in place to make airplanes, cars, houses, and forced plants more efficient.
This week it announced that a pilot assignment in Devon will use AI to decrease pollutants in our waters by offering an early warning system.
One day, computers will be smart enough to save you from climate change.
David Levy, of Robots Unlimited, says: “So far, we’ve only scratched the surface of possibilities.
“The purpose of AI studies is to produce what’s called general AI, capable of solving almost any kind of problem.
“So, in the long run, we can say to a general AI program, ‘What things can you do to mitigate climate change?
Currently, PC systems rely on data entered by humans, which can lead to errors.
But in the future, high-tech tracking systems will provide much more accurate real-time data.
One of society’s greatest demands is the need for caregivers who care for the elderly.
AI can expand cures for debilitating diseases like dementia and offer 24-hour assistance.
Andreessen says, “AI chatbots are already more empathetic than their human counterparts.
“Instead of making the global more mechanical, an infinitely patient and understanding AI will make the global warmer and more enjoyable. “
The ideas come with the generation of truly virtual worlds so that other people who can’t leave the space can still do physical therapy and meet friends.
Professor Richardson says: “I am convinced that other people may not shape relationships as we spend more time in virtual systems.
“But there are for AI.
“A task we are running in Share Space creates avatars.
“There are other people who live remotely and can’t get into physio clinics.
“We need to create virtual environments where they can still have those healing interventions and feel people’s presence. “
NOW that they can get their hands on synthetic intelligence software, we’ve noticed a plethora of compelling fakes, from a photo of the Pope in a down jacket to Drake’s “new” music.
There is a fear that this will kill creativity.
But Andreessen says, “The artistic arts will enter a golden age, as AI-enhanced artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers have the ability to realize their visions much faster and on a larger scale than ever before. “
This week, Sir Paul McCartney told how he used super-clever software to “extract” the voice of backward singer John Lennon from an old “strings” demo to create a new Beatles song.
And AI turns out to be in a position to take cinema out of the hands of the super-rich.
Dr. Ahmed-Rengers said, “Right now you have to be Disney to make a massive CGI movie, but soon a team of ten other people could produce CGI as well as in Hollywood. “
Education is running on the creation of a Made By Human seal, for fair trade, which will tell consumers whether something has been computer-generated or not.
AI will dramatically change our private lives, he believes. Andreessen.
“Every child will have an AI tutor who is infinitely patient, infinitely compassionate, infinitely competent, infinitely helpful,” he writes.
He said virtual tutors would “maximize their potential with infinite love device editing,” adding, “Each user will have an assistant/coach/mentor/coach/counselor/therapist (for) all of life’s opportunities and challenges.
“Every scientist will have an AI assistant who will expand their achievements.
“Every artist, engineer, businessman, doctor, caregiver will have the thing.
“All other people’s leaders — CEO, government official, nonprofit president, sports coach, instructor — will have the same thing.
“The amplification effects of the most important decisions through leaders are enormous, so this intelligence construction is possibly the maximum of all. “
