Everyone has a question in their mind, When are the robots arriving? When is AI going to become a sentient being?
You know? In my opinion they are going to be incredibly powerful than we think! And we better have a good relationship with them! If it ever becomes a real, then for a second I think it would be the end of humanity. When do these machines have some status that comes close to us? What a sentient being is the first thing that I ask myself when I read this question. Personally, I believe that it's very difficult to know when this will happen and at what scale it will happen. We human beings evolved over time, and that gave us the capability to learn and reason and think, whereas if you think about AI, it's kind of the opposite. We are creating these machines. We are designing these machines and we are trying to give them that capability to learn, and think. We are still far and in my opinion, this task is impossible because humans are a really complex structure both physically and socially. Also, depending upon the biological network. So to replicate the complex biological system humans possess is an almost impossible task in my opinion. Artificial intelligence is very good at logical thinking, logical reasoning, and logical stuff, but human beings have both logical and emotional and the emotional part is the most challenging part.
How does this kind of logical development create this kind of emotional thing? we don't understand what consciousness is. We don't have a definition of what intelligence is. At some point, what I can say is that they're going to be sentient beings or something like sentience. Now, in some sense, AI systems can have experiences, depending on how you define that, but many AI systems are hooked up to microphones and cameras, so they can perceive their environment in some sense of their environment. But I don't think that's where the question wants to go, so I think the question wants to go more, "When can they have real experiences?" I think we're really clever monkeys. I think there's a good chance that we're going to have systems that have consciousness. Even though we might not be able to define why they are conscious. It's our own responsibility as well. How far do we as human beings want to go with everything being decided by robots around us?
At that point, it becomes very interesting too.
So what are our responsibilities to these sentient systems? I think what we really want to be trying to do is not to think that the evolution of this technology is going to be equivalent to what humans are and in some ways recognize the difference between humans and machines and try to find a way of understanding how they operate how we work. AI in isolation and standalone cannot be a replacement for human beings...
As I can say that this is definitely a need for some sort of collaboration between human beings and AI to be able to make informed decisions, and better decisions in different applications. And to help humans too, you know, meet their growing needs in different areas. I think the way to address that is to recognize now that these things have the potential to grow into entities that we will feel like our peers in some ways, and so we better start developing good relational practices with them now. So that when it gets to the point, possibly where sentience is attained.
That they look at us and they are like. Hey you guys are kind of...
Like hanging out with you. we want to stick around and we build more amazing beautiful things with them instead of them killing us or you know taking off to Alpha Centauri or something Haha...
