MORE CHALMERS. “(i) The human brain is a machine; (ii) We will have the capacity to emulate this machine (before long). (iii) If we emulate this machine, there will be AI; (iv) Absent defeaters, there will be AI (before long).” https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn

PROF CHALMERS: "1. There will be AI (before long, absent defeaters); 2. If there is AI, there will be AI+ (soon after, absent defeaters); 3. If there is AI+, there will be AI++ (soon after, absent defeaters); 4. There will be AI++ (before too long, absent defeaters)." https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn

DAVID CHALMERS. "He is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Consciousness at the Australian National University. He is also Professor of Philosophy at New York University in the NYU Department of Philosophy. In 2013, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences." Rhodes Scholar and author. http://consc.net/chalmers/ View in LinkedIn

PREPAREDNESS. “So if there is even a small chance that there will be a singularity, we would do well to think about what forms it might take and whether there is anything we can do to influence the outcomes in a positive direction.” https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn

DARK SIDE. “Particularly frightening scenario comes from the potential military uses of artificial life. There are many military applications for which artificial life forms would be extremely useful, from battlefield robots to satellite warfare.” https://lnkd.in/dMvAeqz View in LinkedIn

CAUTION. “Even if we have designed these systems to be benign, we will want to verify that they are benign before allowing them unfettered access to our world. So at least in the initial stages of non-human AI and AI+, it makes sense to have some protective measures in place.” https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn

EARLY STAGE. “As far as we can tell, digital computers are still zombies. Our machines are becoming autistically intelligent, but not supersentient - nor even conscious.” http://www.biointelligence-explosion.com/ View in LinkedIn

THE QUESTION. “How (if at all) should we go about designing AI, in order to maximize the expected value of the resulting outcome” https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn

GIANT CLAIMS. “If there is a singularity, it will be one of the most important events in the history of the planet. An intelligence explosion has enormous potential benefits: a cure for all known diseases, an end to poverty, extraordinary scientific advances, and much more. It also has enor- mous potential dangers: an end to the human race, an arms race of warring machines, the power to destroy the planet.” https://lnkd.in/e335knp View in LinkedIn
