" AlphaGo itself isn't scary it's what comes next and so on and how quickly these
advances are progressing that give some great minds cause for concern."
I just hope it comes soon. Humans aren't making very good decisions lately.
Maybe... but somehow I'm not a lot more confident in the *product* of
humans who make bad decisions making *better* decisions?
Coal Fired Power Plants, Internal Combustion Engines, and even Smart
Grids make decisions based on their creators values all the time. Why
would an AI created by short-sited, narrow-minded humans do any better?
Our Government and all of our Institutions are roughly "human steered
AI"... rule-based programs if you will. And I'm not real proud of most
of them right now?
I *did* like the image of AI offered up in the movie "She" a few years ago.
A kinder, gentler transcendence?
Utopia/Dystopia!
Just Sayin'!
