Apear the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, support advances in artificial intelligence so this may make the man, begins to recognize the dangers that are inherent in a super intelligence alleged that exceeds human.
“The computers will exceed human, no doubt,” begins by saying in an interview with the Australian Financial Review , adding that he was skeptical of futuristic theories as Raymond Kurzweil, who predicted that technology supplant human reason within 30 years.
The opinions Wozniak on artificial intelligence follow the other influential technology leaders like Bill Gates, CEO of Tesla Elon Musk, or of Professor Stephen Hawking, who previously expressed concern about the consequences of developing a super intelligence. According to them, humanity should be cautious with the desonvolvimento future of these technologies.
“As people like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk predicted, I agree that the future is dangerous and can be very bad for people. If we develop these devices able to do everything for us, eventually, they will be able to think quickly and we will be rid of human slow, for companies to be more efficient. “
” Let’s be gods? Pets? Or just ants to be trampled? I have no idea … but when I think about it and how I will be treated in the future as a pet for these machines … well, I will treat my own pet dog the best possible. “
Tim Urban, author and one of the owners of Wait But Why, explains that it is important to identify the differences between the super intelligence and intelligence of quality.
“The first thought when people imagine a super computer, is often similar to the way of thinking of humans, but much faster. Can imagine a machine that thinks like a person, only a million times faster, which means they would be able to realize in a minute, what would take a decade for us. “
The important factor is not the speed but the advantage of the quality of intelligence. For example, humans are more capable intellectually than chimpanzees, due to the greater number of cognitive modules.
“Accelerating the brain of a chimpanzee 1000X , does not bring to our level, he would not be able to understand the functioning of a set tools, nor would it be able to mount a complex model, something that humans do in a few hours. There are areas of cognitive function of human chimps could never achieve, regardless of process speed. “
Wozniak believes that the negative result in the machine intelligence can be avoided with the end of Moore’s Law and the introduction of quantum computers, where “humanity will be protected from the perpetual increased computing power capacity. ” Despite the law that says that the number of transistors an integrated circuit increases exponentially every two years, some believe that this progress will be stopped sometime in 2020, because the size of a silicon transistor will reduce the size of a single atom.
“For all the time spent with quantum computing, not there is a great thing to show, something usable for the things we need … researchers can make predictions, but have yet to pass the three qubits, “says Wozniak. “I hope this time comes, we must pursue it, because it represents the scientific exploration, however, in the end, we end up creating a kind above us.”
On the opposite side, Eric Schmidt of Google assures us that humans need not fear the progress of artificial intelligence and believes that this has immense potential to change humanity’s future for the better.
