Hawking: Soon humans will be no match for artificial intelligence
|
Famous physicist Stephen Hawking recently appeared on HBO's "Last Week Tonight" and had a deep and meaningful conversation with host John Oliver (at least Hawking's conversation was deep and meaningful) and believed that robots might be "smarter than us." When Oliver asked Hawking what he most wanted people to understand, Hawking replied: "Imaginary time." He said: "Imaginary time is like another direction in space. This is a hypothesis in my work that has not been used by science fiction writers." Let's be honest, for all the science fiction is just adding blood and sex to the works of scientists, why don't science fiction writers create stories based on imaginary time? Hawking said: "They don't understand imaginary time." Of course, I can't pretend to understand what imaginary time is. In any case, it is a thing related to time, running in a different direction from the time that eats away at us every day. However, what Oliver most wants to understand is artificial intelligence. Like many man-made products, artificial intelligence can be harmful or even deadly to humans. Hawking is quite sure: "Artificial intelligence may become a real danger in the not too distant future." But surely not in the hands of the good boys at Google? Hawking thinks that this may not be the case with the ideas of the good boys at Google. Because ordinary robots can "design and improve themselves to make themselves smarter than all of us." Oliver continues to ask: "Shouldn't I be excited to be able to fight robots?" Hawking's answer is very simple: "You will lose." Oliver begins to worry that it was not Hawking who was talking to him before, but perhaps an intelligent computer was asking and answering him. Hawking (or a robot pretending to be Hawking) replied: "You are an idiot." But isn't this the nature of human beings? Although we think we know everything, at least when we are honest with ourselves, the one thing we know most clearly is that we are all fools. What we don't know is far greater than what we do. In fact, considering that there may be many parallel universes in the world, Oliver wonders if there is a parallel universe where he may be smarter than Hawking. "Yes," Hawking replied, "and there is a universe where you are very interesting."
