MORE NEW GENES. “Subsequent to the appearance of the first flowering plants, further gene duplications have led to sub-functionalization events, in which pre-existing reproductive functions were shared between paralogous gene clades.” https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/57/10/2143/471376/An-evolutionary-perspective-on-the-regulation-of View in LinkedIn

PREBIOSIS. “Take all of these items together—machines that think for themselves, a world where everything is connected, a brain to control it, sensors to monitor it, the ability to build without help of humans and factories to do it in—and one can envision a future where the machines take over. The scary part? All of these technologies exist in some form or another today.” http://readwrite.com/2013/11/07/singularity-ai-human-extinction View in LinkedIn

BIRTH CANAL CONFINED. “The human capacity for efficient cross-domain optimization is not a natural plateau for intelligence. It's a narrow, accidental, temporary marker created by evolution due to things like the slow rate of neuronal firing and how large a skull can fit through a primate's birth canal. Einstein may seem "vastly" more intelligent than a village idiot, but this difference is dwarfed by the difference between the village idiot and a mouse.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn

ROOM TO IMPROVE. “And this is only a partial list. Consider how far machines have surpassed our abilities at arithmetic, or how far they will surpass our abilities at chess or driving in another 20 years. There is no reason in principle why machines could not surpass our abilities at technology design or general reasoning by a similar margin. The human level is a minor pit-stop on the way to the highest level of intelligence allowed by physics, and there is plenty of room above us.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn

SELF-EDITING. “How could an AI surpass human abilities? Introspective access / editability. We humans have almost no introspective access to our cognitive algorithms, and cannot easily edit and improve them. Machines can already do this. A limited hack like the method of loci greatly improves human memory; machines can do this kind of thing in spades.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn

PURE LOGIC. “How could an AI surpass human abilities? Rationality...Human brains do nothing like optimal belief formation or goal achievement. Machines can be built from the ground up using (computable approximations of) optimal Bayesian decision networks, and indeed this is already a leading paradigm in artificial agent design.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn

SCALABILITY. “How could an AI surpass human abilities? Computational resources. The brain's size and neuron count is restrained by skull size, metabolism, and other factors. AIs could be built on the scale of buildings or cities or larger. When we can make circuits no smaller, we can just add more of them.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn

BYPASSING SEQUENTIAL. “How could an AI surpass human abilities? Serial depth. The human brain can't rapidly perform any computation that requires more than 100 sequential steps; thus, it relies on massively parallel computation. More is possible when both parallel and deep serial computations can be performed.” https://lnkd.in/dC_XR5Q View in LinkedIn
