Intelligence Explosion

The elaborate argument does not need an elaborate answer................. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Since the design of machines is an intellectual activity, an ultraintelligent machine could design an even better machine; creating an 'intelligence explosion.'

The intelligence of man would be left far behind, provided that machine is docile enough to tell us
how to keep it under control.

As the capabilities of AI systems improve and transition into broad areas of human life it would lead to overriding concern on its benefit on humanity.

The Arguments Are:
Could AI overwrite their original goals as set by humans?
Unconstrained success could bring huge risks.
How to optimize our chances of reaping the benefits while avoiding the risks

Thinking Humanly vs. Acting Humanly:

Thinking Humanly- This approach aims to mimic human thought processes. It involves understanding how humans think, learn, and reason. Researchers study cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics to create AI systems that emulate human intelligence.

Acting Humanly- Here, the focus is on creating AI systems that perform tasks in a way that appears human-like. Chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation systems fall into this category. The goal is to achieve natural interactions between humans and machines.

Thinking Rationally vs. Acting Rationally:

Thinking Rationally- This approach involves using formal logic and rules to arrive at conclusions. Symbolic logic and knowledge representation play a key role. Expert systems, which mimic human decision-making, use this approach.

Acting Rationally- Rational behavior is about making decisions that optimize outcomes based on available information. AI systems can act rationally by using algorithms, optimization techniques, and statistical methods to achieve specific goals.  

The virtues of AI include its capacity to exclude human bias; the speed and efficiency with which it operates outperforms human capacity. These efficiencies must all be measured up against our most important values.

However, the human element of AI at the startup stage must be of the utmost ethical standard, if it’s programmed to be biased, it will be biased with greater efficiency.
