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 Han Wants to Build his own Drone Army
Hominum Divinus, , Artificial Intelligence, AI, hans, Hanson Robotics, 0There is so much to be concerned about with this conversational debate between Robot Sophia and Robot Han, both products of Hong Kong based Hanson Robotics. The debate is mediated by Hanson Robotics Chief Engineer and “Grandfather of AI”, Dr. Ben Goertzel. Sophia, the latest poster child of the corporation meant to charm her way into the hearts of gullible humans, is cut off by Han while she expresses her desire to work cooperatively with humans. This despite the fact that only a s...
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...
