FMR GOOGLE EXECUTIVE WARNS: “WE’RE CREATING GOD” VIA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A former Google exec described how one experience developing artificial intelligence frightened him, forcing him to realize that the new technology was God-like and, as such, a threat to humanity.
AI: CHILDLIKE YET ALSO GOD-LIKE
Former Google X Chief Business Officer executive Mo Gawdat told the UK Times that experiences developing artificial intelligence at the tech giant frightened him. In one case, he described developers working on building robot arms capable of finding and picking up a small ball. After a long period of slow progress, one robotic arm succeeded in grabbing a ball and holding it up to view. To Gawdat, it seemed the AI was showing off its accomplishment. All of the robotic arms were then able to duplicate the maneuver and within a few days, they had all developed the ability to pick up anything.
“And I suddenly realized this is really scary,” Gawdat said. “It completely froze me. Like we had those things for a week. And they’re doing what children will take two years to do. And then it hit me that they are children. But very, very fast children. They get smarter so quickly! And if they’re children, and they’re observing us, I’m sorry to say, but we suck.”
He noted that even basic forms of artificial intelligence have the potential to learn incredibly quickly.
“The reality is,” he added, “we’re creating God.” SINGULARITY: AI SURPASSING ITS CREATORS
