Kissinger: How to deal with the era of artificial intelligence?
The wave of artificial intelligence has already brought a wave of wealth feast while sweeping the world. Statistics show that Zuckerberg, Arry Allison, Bill Gates, Huang Renxun four rich people with AI boom personal wealth increased by about one trillion yuan. The development of AI has also brought a series of problems, such as the wave of unemployment and the use of AI for telecom fraud. Even AI experts don't know just how powerful he really is.
Dr. Kissinger, who is now a hundred years old this year, has been very concerned about the development of artificial intelligence. He said AI will be a key factor in security within five years, with disruptive potential comparable to movable type printing. Kissinger believes in his new book "The Age of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Mankind" that it took decades for the industrial age to enter the information age, and now it may only be a few years from the information age to the intelligent age, and all aspects of human beings have not been done well.
How to adapt to the changes of the times, and the acceleration effect of technology is so turbulent. Therefore, how to adapt to the characteristics of the intelligent era and stand in the direction of progress has become a necessary gesture for each of us. In his book, Kissinger proposed the concept of an intelligent society, that is, with the help of artificial intelligence, society will become more intelligent and efficient, but it will also raise moral and ethical questions.
Of particular note is the widespread cult and dependency habit of most people, and the culture of creating and worshipping gods in the Middle Ages may re-emerge in the era of more effective artificial intelligence, which puts artificial intelligence on the altar and worships. And this is bound to have a huge negative effect. Kissinger's view is that humans need to partner with AI and co-evolve. He envisions a new type of human-machine partnership, in which humans define a problem or goal for machines, and then the machines operate in areas beyond the reach of humans to determine the optimal process to pursue.
Once a machine brings a process into the realm of human knowability, we can try to study it, understand it, and ideally incorporate it into the current concept, in an ideal way that both maintains human strengths and traits and appropriately exploits the strengths and characteristics of the machine.
This book, jointly completed by Schmidt, former CEO of Kissinger, and Huten Locher, dean of MIT Schwarzman Institute, discusses artificial intelligence and the ways in which it will change human society, and also puts forward the questions and answering tools that human beings must face in the next few years.
