The Irreversible Rise of Artificial Intelligence: A Brief History with Long-lasting Implications

Future of Life Institute

Due to an ever-increasing rise in technology use in lockdown, importance of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference becomes more pertinent than ever. In particular, AI technology has influenced a lot in today’s modern world. It has affected change across every single industry and became indispensable. So let’s discuss about The Irreversible Rise of Artificial Intelligence: A Brief History with Long-lasting Implications.

We can now make anything happen with a single click — from something as ubiquitous as online shopping to futuristic self-driving vehicles. One can start a business with a client base online with an amount less than $100. One can transfer money to another person with one click on mobile.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. So, research on prevention and treatment for stroke has a great significance. In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought new hopes to healthcare.

Mapping the main ethical dilemmas and moral questions associated with the deployment of AI –

AI holds great economic, social, and environmental background, with potential benefits including:

WHY RESEARCH AI SAFETY?

In Nick Bostrom’s book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, he has explained how machines will overcome us humans. Machines will one day become superintelligent.

HOW CAN AI BE DANGEROUS?

Most researchers agree that a superintelligent AI is unlikely to exhibit human emotions. When considering how AI might become a risk, experts think two scenarios most likely:

The AI is programmed to do something devastating:

The AI is programmed to do something beneficial, which thereby develops a destructive method for achieving its goal:
