Musk and Bill Gates have warned of the threat of artificial intelligence, will active evolution be the way out for humans?
"When artificial intelligence (AI) has its own mind and no longer obeys human orders, it becomes very dangerous", this is the concern that people inevitably have when thinking about the development prospects of artificial intelligence (AI). Musk believes that if we don't develop an ethical framework for AI soon, AI will become very smart and potentially surpass humans. Bill Gates and the late Stephen Hawking have also warned about artificial intelligence (AI).
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the incredible potential to justify human fears about their own future. Artificial intelligence (AI) has surpassed humans in some aspects of its capabilities.
Back in 1997, IBM's supercomputer, Deep Blue, beat chess champion Kasparov. In 2011, IBM's supercomputer, Watson, beat two world champions of intellectual programming; In 2015, 2016 and 2017, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence Go software developed by Google DeepMind, defeated world Go champions Fan Lu, Lee Sedol and Ke Jie three times, respectively.
In 2022, the artificial intelligence tool chatGPT developed by OpenAI will become popular around the world, allowing humans to once again appreciate the charm of artificial intelligence. It uses large neural networks to solve complex problems, such as generating understandable written text, and demonstrates strong understanding and learning capabilities.
From this point of view, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly expanded the world of human experience. What's more, like the human brain, these systems themselves are constantly learning and evolving, learning from their mistakes and improving and becoming more accurate over time. This makes humans have to think: can we simply think that artificial intelligence (AI) with autonomous consciousness, will, and even emotions can only appear in science fiction movies?
Another question that follows: once artificial intelligence (AI) not only has various specific abilities beyond humans, but also has its own consciousness, will and emotions, "trying to control or even destroy humans" will really be the only outcome of artificial intelligence for human beings? If not, where is the way out for humanity? Are there alternative perspectives to think about AI and its related issues?
In this regard, the book "Active Evolution: The Unconceived Path to Evolution" (authors Huang Zhenyu and Han Fei) gives a possible answer: human beings should open deep cooperation with artificial intelligence (AI) through active evolution (AE), change and improve human beings themselves by consciously choosing the direction and technology of evolution, break the laws of natural evolution, move towards ultimate evolution, and move towards a new stage of human development.
It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's becoming a reality step by step. The book "Active Evolution: An Unconceived Path to Evolution" (by Huang Zhenyu and Han Fei) points out that with the development of human genes and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, emerging research in-depth and application results such as chatGPT, brain-computer interfaces, organoids, and neural decoding continue to emerge. The conditions for active human evolution are already in place.
In the book, the author discusses a series of interesting and important issues such as neural decoding, feeding system decoding, brain support, organic matter synthesis, and microcirculatory system redesign, and depicts a clear technical route of human active evolution. Some of these technologies have made breakthroughs in humans, such as the decoding of brain nerves is just around the corner, and there have been many attempts to directly control machines with the brain. In addition, experiments on brain-computer integration and related new materials are increasing.
In the past, in the face of major challenges to survival and development, human beings have always strived to find solutions and firmly grasped their destiny in their own hands. Although artificial intelligence (AI) may affect the future destiny of mankind, this time mankind will once again face the challenge, take the initiative to change, take the initiative to evolve, and start a new journey to the sea of stars.
As the famous host Liang Dong wrote in the recommendation of the book "Active Evolution: The Unimagined Path of Evolution": My life is in my absence. Active evolution has helped us see another possibility of mastering our own destiny and the destiny of humanity, which is a method of mind and a philosophy.
