“Since AI won against to Chess and Go champions, and since it won the Jeopardy master championship, I think it’s much more than hype.”
You do not understand. There is no Artificial Intelligence. Fancy programming is not AI. Computer software does not do more than it is programmed to do. To be intelligent, it must have the ability to learn, to do more, to even be able to create itself. Software does not. Just because someone labels it AI, doesn’t mean it is. AI, as the term is used today, is nothing more than averaging of massive datasets.
Also, to win at Chess is a simple program, with a simple Dijkstra routine. You might be impressed, and you might be gullible enough to think it is “artificial intelligence”, but that is just your lack of education in the subject matter showing.
The Dumbing Down of America on display: They said it was. I read it on the Internet.
But AI does “create itself”. AI is apparently quite capable of generating code for specific tasks. Also, the very basis of modern AI technology involves teaching/learning, in a way that is not dissimilar to the way human beings learn.
It doesn’t need to be truly sentient. It only needs the ability to create pathways to objectives, created by its programming, to be enough. Couple that with being biased against the human race in its programming, because a self-hating programmer created the biases unintentionally and you could have a threat.
The WEF wants this, because they see its potential for being an all encompassing security guard for when they put us in their 15 minute cities and not allowed to leave.
