I must admit, I never expected there would be any reason to ask that question outside of a philosophy class.has grown to a fever pitch, making that question and others like it suddenly worth pondering.This sudden contemplative turn is a result of a drumbeat of doom and hype about AI. It’s going to change everything, we are told — including possibly ending all life on Earth, apparently.
As with any claim made by the capitalist class, some skepticism is warranted. How better to hype your new product than claim it is all-powerful? According to signatories of this letter, “AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity.” Those risks include things you’d expect, like AI replacing jobs, to the more grandiose: “non-human minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us,” which represents “a profound change in the history of life on Earth.”
The assumption of a radical superintelligence misunderstands both what intelligence is and also what causes problems in the world. It isn’t a lack of “intelligence” that has children starving, a housing crisis in countless cities, or climate change. It is, rather, politics — it is how, when and where people and technology are deployed to address issues.
But then, even all this discussion is itself premature. Take another hugely complex software problem,. For years we were told they were just around the corner — that is, until the people involved realized just how complicated the issue is and started saying that we are perhaps decades away from a fully autonomous car.
