The development of artificial intelligence is undoubtedly rapid, from the birth of the discipline to a hundred years ago, but has defeated human beings in many fields symbolizing wisdom such as national chess, Texas hold'em, strategy games, etc., and now has gained unique human creativity. In the limited space of this book, it may be difficult to cover all aspects of this amazing evolutionary process, but I hope that every reader can feel the infinite charm of the frontier of science and technology, and also maintain a reflection on technology itself.
What do you think about the future of AI? Will it become a human help, or will it become a human threat?
Pessimists believe that artificial intelligence will eventually completely replace humans, which in turn will lead to the demise of human beings; Optimists believe that artificial intelligence will not replace humans, it will make human life happier.
However, it doesn't matter what point of view you hold, what matters is what stance you should take towards the future. In countless science fiction novels, movies, and TV series, this point has been discussed philosophically. In "I, Robot", the "three laws" with wide influence are proposed, and the basic principles of harmonious coexistence between humans and robots with artificial intelligence are discussed; "Westworld" presents the consequences of inflated desires overriding technology and wantonly breaking through the bottom line of morality; In "Qima Blue", it is interpreted that the end of the road of intelligent evolution needs to return to the natural way of birth.
We move forward, and we think, until we reach the other side of technology.
As Nick Bostrom puts it, "Machine intelligence is the last invention that man needs to make." ”
This is both a vision of the end and a warning for the future. And the sails that finally come
The choice of where to go has always been in the hands of human beings.
