Artificial Intelligence: 8 TED lectures on supermind

1. Can we create AI and keep control over it?

Neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris discusses why creating artificial intelligence inspires fear, and the incomprehensibility of the Overmind. Harris does not believe in the Rise of the Machines and the genocide of the human race, caused by the fact that the robots are evil and hate us. But scientists admit the possibility that mankind can understand the fate of an anthill, which prevents the construction of a new home.

2. As AI can cause a second industrial revolution?

Kevin Kelly, co-founder and chief editor of the magazine Weird, on the contrary, believes that artificial intelligence is just a tool, but a statement of his consciousness is fundamentally wrong. According to him, the artificial intelligence can make a new industrial revolution, because the AI ​​can run in the hundreds or even thousands of times more efficient than man.

3. What happens when computers become smarter than us?

It does not matter when create artificial intelligence - in 20, 40 or 100 years. It is important to understand that in the end we get intelligence that surpasses us many times. Nick Bostrom, founder and director of the Institute for the future of humanity, explains that setting the right goals and objectives, under which developed artificial intelligence - a very important topic. If she is neglected, our civilization may be waiting for an unenviable fate.

4. Do not be afraid of the supramental artificial intelligence

Grady Booch positive performance is encouraging for the future of artificial intelligence and the human species. While many experts such as Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking and Steve Wozniak, oppose the Overmind, Grady Booch rises to his defense. He talks about the incredible cooperation and prospects of a harmonious life with machine intelligence.

5. How computers learn to creativity

Blaise Agüero and Arkas, the head of the development of Google machine intelligence, explains in detail the principle of machine learning on the example of a neural network that has learned to draw. Of course, we are not talking about the paintings, such as those that were created by great artists - paintings neural network rather primitive. We are talking about the car's ability to perceive and interpret the surrounding area.

6. Stunning and terrible consequences of machine learning

Neural networks - a fantastic technology that has long been a reality. Jeremy Howard talks about progress in machine learning: where it is used and what to expect in the future.

7. Artificial intelligence will kill us

Not all experts agree that artificial intelligence will work exclusively for the benefit. Jay Tuck, a security expert, suggests thinking about how they can use neural networks and AI people who are far from science, but strive for total control. Artificial intelligence can process massive amounts of information. Jay Tuck fears that we are waiting for the era of total sleuthingIn which the AI ​​will be the main weapon.

8. How will the labor market with the advent of artificial intelligence

Day when earns artificial IntelligenceIt will change everything: our way of life, our view of the world and ourselves. We can find answers to many questions. Despite all the advantages, we will have to face a number of problems. Builders, accountants, porters, as well as hundreds of other professions will disappear forever, and they will be replaced with new ones. The labor market will begin to change rapidly. I would like to believe that all people are able to adapt to such radical changes.
