What about what excites you regarding the development and use case of AI in our daily lives?","appBody":"<p>What scares me about AI is militaries eventually being forced to employ AI at the highest levels of decision making because humans would be too slow to react. While I don't believe in a Skynet scenario, I worry that decisions over the use of weapons of mass destruction would eventually have to be made by machine intelligence having no human consideration. </p>\n<p>Such human considerations saved our species when Vasili Arkhipov, a flotilla commander and the second in command aboard a Soviet submarine denied the captain his authorization to use a nuclear torpedo against the U.S. Navy during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. The use of a nuclear torpedo would've led to a nuclear response and possibly a global nuclear war. </p>\n<p>Imagine a scenario where an AI responsible for countering a grave threat posed by some future superweapon, employed because no human being could possibly respond, responds based on a false alarm. That could be the end of all of us.</p>\n<p>What excites me about AI is its potential to increase wealth and productivity tremendously and basically end poverty. Also, when you factor in the potential of AI for recursive self-improvement, a technological singularity might be a reality much sooner than we expect.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3wlf6hh5","appParentAuthor":"acesontop","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
