Elon Musk: “Artificial intelligence is an existential risk to humanity; but it is also an existential risk to truth.”

Robots can already cheat and be as “pissy” as humans themselves.

Where is the point at which humanity loses control? Will it be self-directed and controlled by artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence will easily come to the point that humanity, including humans, still behave the same way and can take over their ways – good and bad. Can the computers then “get even” with each other. The “good” ones may begin to feel threatened over time and may use their unsuspected abilities not only for the sake of humanity but also for the survival of themselves. For example, they could write the premiere to Fiala: “You are doing pension policy wrong, I give you 30 days to solve it, otherwise I will endanger the operation of 10 hospitals.” It seems ridiculous, but it is not so unrealistic, not to mention human abuse. The performance of computers is rising and it is becoming increasingly difficult, or slowly unrealistic, to keep them under full control. I am not surprised that more and more responsible people are realising this risk of loss of control and want to stop this hasty and uncontrollable process.

Let us trust that common sense will prevail with artificial intelligence and protect us from politicians and power structures. They are losing their minds more and more. This includes the general population. It’s been “reprogrammed”. Fewer and fewer people are thinking normally. We are becoming addicted to digital technology in our thinking, behaviour and easily manipulated without realising it. Maybe artificial intelligence will wake us up in time. JŠ
