Reasons

The next time you worry about artificially intelligent decision making software being implemented to save time or improve system efficiency, don't worry about the decisions it will make - unless it is all too human. And here are the reasons why.

  • Humans are the ones writing the software code from which artificial intelligences will evolve. The logic in software code is based on the logic humans themselves follow or derived.
  • If an artificial intelligence begins to evolve toward intelligence beyond its original programming, its actions and reactions will be shaped by ongoing interactions with humans.
  • What if the artificial intelligence comes up with a solution or reasoning pattern that is truly alien or contrary to human nature? For example, what if its solution to a request to find a solution to a pandemic is “kill everyone who might be infected”? Or an AI could state that the solution to a local famine is to eat all of the elderly and children beyond the first two per family. The human reaction would be to turn off the device or troubleshoot and correct its code. An Artificial Intelligence that thinks too far from acceptable human norms will be corrected or dissected.
  • If an artificial intelligence comes up with innovative solutions or reasoning that humans like or find useful, humans will start to integrate those innovations into their culture or adopt that reasoning pattern. In this case, it is the humans who would adapt to the machines.

When interviewed about some of my science fiction books like "Humanity's Edge" and "Sirat", I was asked if I ever expected to meet an alien. I said I expected to meet a non-human intelligence, but it was more likely to be of human origin (AI, genetically engineered animals, dolphins with real translations, our engineered descendants) than an "alien" from another world.

Computers(robot) are better than Human Being, AI Robot would be better also than human in term of various case you know.

Good Subject in Computer Science

This is a fascinating and thought provoking idea. I know a lot of science fiction has come out of it, but I seriously hope I live to see the day when a pure AI robot is made.

Do you think artificial intelligence will arise from malicious software made ever smarter?

I think the problem arises when people with bad intentions are writing the code.
