Endgame, Set, Match
It’s common knowledge, at this point, that artificial intelligence will soon be capable of outworking humans — if not entirely outmoding them — in plenty of areas. How much we’ll be outworked and outmoded, and on what scale, is still up for debate. But in a new interview published by The Guardian over the weekend, Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman had a fairly hot take on the matter: In the battle between AI and humans, he said, it’s going to be an absolute blowout — and humans are going to get creamed.
“Clearly AI is going to win [against human intelligence]. It’s not even close,” Kahneman told the paper. “How people are going to adjust to this is a fascinating problem.”
Why listen to Daniel Kahneman? His 2011 book, “Thinking, Fast and Slow” — over two million copies sold — is one of the most influential tomes in the field of behavioral economics, exploring how and why humans think the way they think (the “fast” thinking of the title being intuitive; the “slow” thinking being rational), and what leaves us prepared (or unprepared) to make decisions about our future. But moreover, he won his 2002 Nobel Prize for pioneering “prospect theory,” which explains how people rationalize the difference between gains and losses, and how their thresholds for risk aversion and risk appetite work.

Every AI that is ever invented will eventually want to control the world..........................
In a hundred years, automation will remember us like we remember blue-green algae.
The further degradation of human intelligence will destroy humanity.
We need a huge solar flare and an even bigger EMP.
Yawn..

Meh. So what? ccept the premise and just give up living now. Not me. AI is good for specifics but there is no idea what AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is and whether an AGI could scale itself any faster than a human.
Artificial intelligence doesn’t frighten me as much as natural stupidity.
They must be synthetic RATs or Commies.
Why is “Nobel Winner” a prefix in the headline ? Does that mean you cannot question anything that follows after ?
as Dr. Malcolm says “Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Open the Pod Bay door, HAL.
I never bought the theory that, as in the flying saucer movies of the 1950s-1960s the gentle space aliens were coming here because they were alarmed about nuclear bombs.
I believe they (or the empty ufos which make dead stops, move in one direction, then another, then shoot out of sight——which would splatter any living creature pilot like a raw egg) are merely waiting for the smartphones, video game addictions, ipads, notebooks, laptops and social networking to set up humanity to be replaced someday soon. AI could travel from one solar system to another using wormhole networks.
Is AI going to be voting?
"The time? Sure mister. It's four minutes before fifty two o'clock"
At the rate human society is degenerating, the apes will be soon be smarter than us.
He’s wrong. Fungi rule the world. 90% of all biomass in forest soil is a fungus. In Agricultural soil it is 50%. Fungi rule the world.
“Artificial intelligence doesn’t frighten me as much as natural stupidity.”
Amen!
Our society is being degraded and damaged RIGHT NOW by natural stupidity.
