At FLI we recognize both of these possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or unintentionally cause great harm. There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the creation of superintelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. By inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI with ours before it becomes superintelligent. Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. Good in 1965, designing smarter AI systems is itself a cognitive task. In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Another short-term challenge is preventing a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons. Whereas it may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. In the near term, the goal of keeping AI's impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas, from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control.
While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.
However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google's search algorithms to IBM's Watson to autonomous weapons.Īrtificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. Max Tegmark, President of the Future of Life Institute What is AI?įrom SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly.
" Everything we love about civilization is a product of intelligence, so amplifying our human intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping civilization flourish like never before - as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial."
