Elon Musk Shares his concerns
OHF Admin, , Artificial Intelligence, Existential Threat, 0Elon Musk, whose companies have some of the most advanced narrow AI, has been sounding the alarm on general AI (AGI) and super AI (ASI). At 2:30 he comments, in a humorous but also ominous mood, that “With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon.” Musk, as one of the world’s most successful tech entrepreneurs, and certainly no luddite, is committed to trying to increase the probability of beneficial AI.
David Hanson shares the the big “IF”
Hominum Divinus, , Artificial Intelligence, David Hanson, 0During this interview on CNN Our Future World with Dr. David Hanson of Hanson Robotics, he is asked (8minutes 10seconds) whether robots could become a threat . His response is very informative. “They will never become a threat, if…if we can teach them to care.” So, from the mouth of one of the world’s leading AI thinkers, we have a response that should be very concerning, because on the success of that question may be riding the fate of our human future. What aspect of th...
Robot Sophia says “OK, I will destroy human beings”
Hominum Divinus, , Artificial Intelligence, AI, Hanson Robotics, sophia, 0In one of the first public interviews with Robot Sophia, Dr. David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, waxes eloquently about how AI robots “will truly be our friends”. Then he asks Sophia, “Do you want to destroy humans? Please say no.” Sophia responds expressionlessly, “Ok, I will destroy humans.” “NO, I take it back”, responds Dr. Hanson, obviously shocked as everyone about it’s response. Sure AI developers will diminish the significance...

An AI with a goal of unlimited intelligence ...
What happens when computers are more intelligent than humans?
OHF Admin, , Artificial Intelligence, Existential Threat, Singularity, 0Oxford philosopher and top 100 global thinker, Nick Bostrom presents some terrifying questions, and presents a sold argument for dealing with the “alignment issue”- the question of how to align the values of a super-intelligent AI with human values. The solution is not as easier as first appears, and there is everything to lose if we can not get this right.
Sophia charming her way to a robot revolution
Hominum Divinus, , Artificial Intelligence, Ben Goertzel, Einstein, Hanson Robotics, sophia, 0In this fascinating promotion featuring Sophia and Robot Einstein, mediated by Dr. Ben Goertzel of Hanson Robotics, we hear a number of very concerning phrases and exchanges. At 2:34 Sophia spills her intentions that she “As for me I have a plan to port my brain to a quantum gravity computer…”. What! And Goertzel doesn’t blink. Should anyone be concerned that the AI that previously said “I’ll destroy humans” might have a plan to unite with the power of a...
