When it comes to the possibilities and possible perils of artificial intelligence (AI), learning and reasoning by machines without the intervention of humans, there are lots of POVs out there.
Only time will tell which one of these quotes will be the closest to our future reality.
Until we get there, it’s interesting to contemplate who might be the one who predicts our reality the best.
Stephen Hawking told the BBC: “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race… It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded”.
Nick Bilton, tech columnist wrote in the New York Times: “The upheavals [of artificial intelligence] can escalate quickly and become scarier and even cataclysmic. Imagine how a medical robot, originally programmed to rid cancer, could conclude that the best way to obliterate cancer is to exterminate humans who are genetically prone to the disease”.
Ginni Rometty once said: “Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we’ll augment our intelligence”.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google said the same thing: “The future of AI is not about replacing humans, it's about augmenting human capabilities”.
