Will AI make humans extinct?

[mariahh]

I don't know if there would be still life in 2050.Albert Einstein believed that after the third world war, life will be begin from the zero again.And if you think it ,it has logic.We may have develope our technology and health system, but people become more selfish,arrogant,self-centered,and alienated even from their selves,with the pass of the time, and this might lead us to our extinct.

I do not think that people will allow themselves to lose their jobs because of artificial intelligence. Perhaps it will facilitate the production process, but will not completely dislodge people.

I, myself think that too, maybe in the future we will make AI that operates on machines use in building stuffs but it will not take over all the responsibility in there. Maybe just a way to ease the work of people but maintenance on machine is also handled by the operator (Human), AI can only do what he/she is programmed to do, and working and maintenance is another thing to do, and machines cannot do a work and can maintain itself. Thus resulting to interference of human maintaining the machine to work. Also human will not allow for the machine to fully take over his/her obligation for which he/she is paid according to hi/her performance.

OP is talking about 2040/2050 which is apparently very far from our time and I guess that there will be more powerful inventions people can do. As of now you're right about AI which just do what the people programmed, that's all BUT what if someone or a group of people decided to do the impossible? The impossible task of creating AI's that can decide on its own? It's kinda cool and scary. Imagine an Ultron that will wipe out humanity without the Avengers LOL.

AI is simply a very clever, subtle way that some people are trying to get control over the masses without taking the blame for it.

the topic reminds me of the Talos principle video game plot. Have any of you guys played it? The plot follows up the apocalypses, even thou we don't know it all along the way, and (in one of the ending - the most "true" one) unfolds a reality where AI, programmed by the instinct humans exactly for this purpose, remains. It's pretty neat.

If it does happen, yes people here will be wipe-out and be replaced by AI's. Somehow, robots don't need basic human needs like food or water, they will ravishingly take over the world in no time. IF IT DOES HAPPEN.

AI is only about Intelligence. Humans are much more complex creatures. And AI is far away from human intelligence.

I'm so tired of the AI talk that all corporations are throwing around. It's just the new word to use to get attention to their project.

People are not smart enough to create a computer that has independent thought.

It cannot compete with DNA.
