"We cannot know whether artificial intelligence will forever help us - or maybe it will ignore us and push us aside - or God forbid it will destroy us", said Stephen Hawking to the participants of the Web Summit 2017 held in Lisbon
"I want to talk about artificial intelligence, this is important to you, the people of the pharmaceutical industry professionally, and to society as a whole," he said Stephen Hawking In a recorded speech to the participants of the Web Summit 2017 held in Lisbon at the beginning of November.
"There are many challenges and opportunities that we are facing right now, and I believe that one of the most important challenges - something that will affect the daily life of humanity, is that anything that can be achieved through computing, can also be achieved through a biological brain, and vice versa."
However, he said, "There is a finite potential for the development of the human mind. Computers could in theory imitate the human mind and catch up with it. We cannot predict what we might achieve if all our rights were held by artificial intelligence. It is possible that with the laws of the new technological revolution we may repair some of the damage done to the natural world by man through industrialization. We can eliminate diseases and poverty."
"Every aspect of our lives will change. In the short term, improving the quality of life is the greatest event in human history, or perhaps the worst. We simply do not know, therefore we cannot know whether artificial intelligence will forever help us - or maybe it will ignore us and push us aside or, God forbid, destroy us."
According to Hawking, "If we do not prepare for the potential threat, the development of artificial intelligence may be the most terrible event in the history of human civilization. Artificial intelligence brings with it dangers such as powerful autonomous weapons and even in the shorter term, they may cause the destruction of the economy."
Already today, he explained, "We are concerned that smart machines will be able to replace jobs that are currently done by humans and destroy the lives of millions of people. Artificial intelligence may decide to fight humanity and destroy us."
what's the answer? According to Hawking, "Artificial intelligence must be controlled and made to work for us and to reduce the risks as much as possible, we need to install effective management systems based on the experience in all areas related to the development of artificial intelligence. It is clear that every sector of the economy will have to incorporate measures to prevent damage, but with regard to artificial intelligence it is extremely essential."
"We the scientists, develop ideas, but we also influence the need to make them work correctly. Perhaps it is good that we stop for a moment and allow the artificial intelligence to not only be capable and successful but also to maximize the benefit to society. Artificial intelligence systems should do what we want them to do for the benefit of humanity."
In February of this year, a European Union report was published calling for the development of robotics laws, because artificial intelligence is one of the biggest technological trends of the century. the report Proposes to impose urgent regulation on the latest developments, as well as future developments of robots and artificial intelligence systems. Surprisingly, the report recommends the creation of a type of electronic personality that will guarantee the rights and responsibilities. One of the partners in the international law firm Osborne Clarke (Osborne Clarke) said that "we do not trust the good will of a gorilla, so there is no need to jump to a robotic personality".
The report highlighted the possibility that, within a few decades, the intellectual capacity of artificial intelligence may exceed that of humans and challenge the relationship between humans and robots. Finally, the report calls for the establishment of a European Agency for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence to provide technical, ethical and regulatory expertise. If accepted, the issue will be brought to the table of the European Commission, which will determine what steps to take."
"I'm an optimist and I believe we can create an artificial intelligence for the benefit of the world that will work in harmony with us," Hawking said. "We simply need to be aware of the dangers, identify them and implement the best management practices and prepare for the consequences well in advance. It is possible that some of the listeners to this lecture already have solutions or answers, but there are many questions that artificial intelligence poses to us."
"We must all ensure that the next generation has the opportunity to take part in this - science must be taught from the lower grades so that we can reach our potential and create a better world for the entire human race."
"We need to hold comprehensive theoretical discussions on how artificial intelligence should be and take steps to ensure that we design it correctly. You all have the potential to push the boundaries of what is acceptable or expected when we think big."
In conclusion, Hawking said that "we are standing on the threshold of a great future. It will be an exciting and dangerous place and there is room for pioneering. I hope you will do it successfully."

There is no doubt that connecting a computer to a human brain is already here. The idea that a person who does not understand the machine will connect to a computer and play Mozart with emotion even if he has never touched a piano... The next question is whether it is possible to do this by remote control with radio waves for example....
From here to the ruler who controls rulers, that is, the king of kings: {Putin as the most powerful man in the world} the road is short..
Puppet rule and nothing to do when the computer man takes command...
There aren't that many alerters at the gate. Elon Musk, Hawking and Bill Gates warn. Hawking is listened to. That's why it's good that he's talking. The world is looking for a solution to the next problem. How to develop artificial intelligence as we progress with it. I have no solution for this. What matters is whether Hawking is right. In my opinion he is very right. The quality of knowledge, the volume of artificial intelligence increases in short periods of time. I thought that maybe there are no aliens because most likely a culture that reaches maturity destroys itself. Of all the attempts, one attempt manages to reach the next level.
The question raised is why Stephen Hawking is treated even on a subject that is not at the core of his knowledge?
There are several answers, one like every celeb knows everything he says will be published, it's not always bad there are celebs who
Their advertising for causes that seem important to them such as humanitarian activity and in Steven's case this
Raising awareness of the dangers that he believes may occur as a result of the introduction of new technologies,
His melancholic obsessions with horror scenarios may be a bit problematic, although in AI there are, along with the enormous advantages, also dangers that are very complex and time-consuming to deal with, so it's better to start dealing with it sooner rather than later.
(Even the systems with a rigid algorithm that we write have bugs that are very difficult to find in the dynamic futures
that create the internal code themselves in huge quantities, the problems that may arise will be difficult squarely for debugging)
The awareness Hawking creates and other scientists helps to raise funds and create frameworks that begin to examine and perhaps address the potential dangers,
And why would the general public listen to him or knock a man who may surpass him in knowledge in those fields but is not known
The reason that the majority of the public does not have the time or interest or tools to test the knowledge of the amateur is that he does not even read these here in the news media, and if the name Stephen Hawking, who is a well-known scientist, appears above the article, then he will go in and read,
Stephen Hawking is known both for his scientific work and for the example for many people of a person who overcomes enormous difficulties, yes his scientific ability is sometimes magnified in the media hindering his celebrity status and even unnecessarily overshadowing other scientists who are in the front row,
Yes miracles, I saw yesterday that this is the source of the problem. On a wide screen that has room for text this does not happen.

I also have a jump. At the top of the screen there is a "message running", and when this message passes a line, on the phone for example, then all the text jumps up.
Richard Feynman used to say that when a scientist lectures on a subject outside of his area of expertise he often sounds like a moron.
By the way, do you also have the text annoyingly jump up and down every few seconds?
The truth is that it is not clear to me why the claims of an expert in the field of astrophysics who is talking about a field unrelated to him are treated with such seriousness.
Basically, I pretty much agree with his claims, but I don't think he has an advantage here over any average science buff who has read a bit about artificial intelligence and understands the implications it may have.
Nissim, you are a keyboard criminal, I have never insulted you or any other surfer here, but you are a walking piece of shit with the brain of a warthog
A possible direction is that maybe more than artificial intelligence will control us
We will of our own free will give up our independence for the benefits that this system will give,
The power of artificial intelligence didn't like to come as a fighting robot like in Terminator
Although this too can be more attractive in its ability to do something better than us,
Field after field will be moved to these systems of our own free will. This already exists today in the field of storage. We keep less and less information with us. If there used to be an encyclopedia at home or at the beginning of computing, a CD with an encyclopedia is now being transferred to the cloud. In the future, there will be no local information for a person, why? Because central systems keep better information in a more accessible, more up-to-date, more backed-up way than with a private person,
Also in the field of work, we move from local branches to branches that are willingly or necessarily swallowed up in huge corporations
And a large part of the local information and knowledge is transferred to the control of the large concern so that the local branch loses its independent ability that it had in the past, another interesting area is at the time I thought that an expensive robot would not be able to compete at work
In a person who is willing to work even for divorced people, but this is not always true, this can also be examined from the work
Many times workplaces prefer to work with an external party even if it is more expensive so as not to mess around
With the local workforce and its management it is also related to the conduct of a branch within a concern, so there will be robots
In the case of hominids who are able to carry out, for example, loading in dynamic situations while moving from one area of the factory to another as needed, this will bring about a fundamental change, and it is not always these layoffs.
Nostradamus
If you stuck an iron rod in Hawking's brain, he would still be much smarter than you.
Hawking is one of the greatest physicists ever, and you are a disgusting rag.
People do not understand that in 2012 a threshold was crossed. Since then technology has raced forward at rates that scientific evolution took decades to accomplish. They don't understand that it affects all of us and that they are living after the verdict on a certain issue has been decided.
The process is inevitable.
Sorry. Only a scientist of Hawking's stature, like Einstein in his time and the Manhattan Project listen. Elon Musk and Bill Gates also think like Hawking. I, too, the louse on the wall think like him and I develop artificial intelligence and study it and am fascinated by it. The discovery that the machine we built is a network of nerve cells, and that we are able to imitate it and understand it, fascinates me.
In my estimation, intelligence will pass us by, maybe not immediately, but there is no doubt that in 2012 a knowledge barrier was broken, but it will not be
Moral like us, and you certainly won't like us. Biological evolution has come a long way, but technological evolution is fast
If it is possible to turn a person into a cyborg, i.e. to type him maybe then he has a chance.
Therefore, it is mandatory for a person of Hawking's stature who passed the age of 70 to stand at the gate and shout.
He refused to come to lecture in Israel under the pressure of the Arabs and the professional auto-Semites so that the livelihood of the lectures would not be harmed
brain confusion any street cleaner can say. He has had nothing to do with science for years, he was a mediocre scientist and never had anything to do with computer science. Now he earns a living by brainstorming lectures for money like our former generals
spoken like a true 10 year old child
