The Paradox of Choice & Morality: How Intelligent is A.I. ?- Nick Bostrom - WGS 2018

Superintelligence, as defined by Oxford Philosopher Nick Bostrom, refers to an intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom and social skills. Will our computers be super-intelligent? Will they understand the soft nuances of human interaction? In this session, Bostrom will awaken us to the limitations of A.I, and whether they can be overcome.

الأفكار الخارقة كما حددها الفيلسوف من أكسفورد نيستور بوستروم، تشير إلى عقل أكثر ذكاءً من أفضل العقول البشرية في كل مجال تقريباً، بما في ذلك الإبداع العلمي والحكمة العامة والمهارات الاجتماعية. هل ستكون أجهزة الكمبيوتر الخاصة بنا فائقة الذكاء؟ هل سيفهمون الفروق الدقيقة في التفاعل البشري؟ في هذه الجلسة، سوف يستيقظنا بوستروم على حدود الذكاء الاصطناعي، وما إذا كان يمكن التغلب عليها

Such an important topic but so few viewers. There will surely not be a controlled rise to AGI, more likely a competition, a race, where the winner takes it all, is the outcome. That means the end result for us depends on a more or less random event, but an event picked from a sample space where almost all events are negative for humans. Good luck !

Actually Elon Musk did not say that "There is one in a billions chance that we are not already living in a simulation". In the context of the question he was asked during the QA session of a talk he did at Code Conference 2016, what he actually said was. "If the third option of the simulation argument were true (an advanced civilisation reached technological maturity and decided to run simulations) the chances that we are in base reality (that we are the advanced civilisation running the simulations) are one in a billion.


The Question: The assumption then is that somebody beat us to it and this is a game?

Elon Musk' Answer: NO. There is a one in billion chance that this is base reality.

Conclusion.

Saying "There is a one in billion chance that this is base reality" (in the context of the question) is not the same as saying "There is one in a billions chance that we are not already living in a simulation".

When doctor Nick can show us how he programs a graphing calculator I may consider his Matrix/vat/fresco argument.
