A robot takeover is portrayed in a wide variety of movies and books, and seems to come a little closer every day as robotic innovations appear constantly in the news. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and advancing hardware creates ever more capable robots, and artificial general intelligence is likely to happen sooner rather than later.
From the video’s description: “What if one day machines decided that humans were just a waste of resources and started a robocalypse? Imagine the total revolt of every automated device you use. Your self-driving car refused to give you a lift. Your iPhoneX ignored your attempts to unlock it with your face. How bad would this rise of the machines be? After robots take over, would there be any place for humans?”
Artificial General Intelligence
Answer: “Maybe a decade from now”
From the video’s description: “Artificial intelligence has the capability to far surpass our intelligence in a relatively short period of time. But AI expert Ben Goertzel knows that the foundation has to be strong for that artificial brain power to grow exponentially. It’s all good to be super-intelligent, he argues, but if you don’t have rationality and empathy to match it the results will be wasted and we could just end up with an incredible number-cruncher. In this illuminating chat, he makes the case for thinking bigger. Ben Goertzel’s most recent book is AGI Revolution: An Inside View of the Rise of Artificial General Intelligence.”
