Will AI make humans extinct?

[bitjoin]

So apparently by 2040 or 2050 AI will be as smart as a human.  Not only that but a few years after would be many times smarter than a human and so on.  

Looks like humans are in trouble i dont believe there is a way to create AI to share our values or any kind of control switch.  We only survive is there is a reason to keep us alive right?

When you look at things like...

The elections
The wars in the Middle East
The gun control issues
The fight between Government and Americans (Bundys)
The crashing economy
The financial bubbles
And lots more

... do you really thing there will be a 2040 or 2050?

Sure why not, we survived WW1 and WW2. We are surviving the spraying program and global warming, as well as the Fukushima meltdowns.

By 2040 we'll have built up such a powerful immune system I doubt and radiation from the Trump wars will hurt us. 2050 will be the second boomer generation getting born.

Well maybe large % will be wiped out by something on that list yeah.  Most of those things would probably leave a % still alive though.

There was not the communication and the transportation back in WW2 that we have today. The playing field has completely changed. For example, back in WW2 times, the sheiks of the ME were little better than primitive savages regarding technology. Now they have some of the best mobile phone uplinks in the world.

The people will crash the bubbles. The fact of the Bundy jury win is showing that the people are starting to crash Government. The fact of ME wars shows that WW3 is near.

Nobody knows what will happen, but we are headed for a showdown where fiat will collapse, and much of the science investigation will collapse without it.

Things will be completely different from today by 2040 and 2050... provided nukes haven't destroyed us all.

It will all depend how humans will coexist with the artificial intelligence. There have been predictions that robots will run the world as soon as 2025 and there is no doubt that they will be equally smart, or even smarter than humans. One example that I can think of is IBM's Watson competing on Jeopardy and defeating the smartest Jeopardy champions with ease. In chess, the computers are beating super grandmasters easily, and can memorize millions of moves and positions in seconds.

Co-exist? With all the crashes and wars that are coming, there won't be any AI by 2040.

Maybe the thing you saying is possible but there's a possibility that there is an AI by 2040. We can't say for sure what will happen at that time because there is still 24 year gap from 2040 to 2016. By that remaining years unimaginable things might happen or might be invented by that time. In my opinion though, AI will not make humans extinct because humans made AI, and humans can make a counter measure against them.

I dont think so. As scary as it may seem, i think humans still would be the dominant specie for a very long time. Although ai may push technology to new heights, i think humans would still be in control

By 2040 we'll have built up such a powerful immune system I doubt and radiation from the Clinton* wars will hurt us. 2050 will be the second boomer generation getting born.

There, fixed it for you.

Sure, I believe we've survived through much worse periods from plague to world wars, this is nothing, it's just a local problem, nothing more

The point isn't our SURVIVAL. The point is will we be able to survive in enough strength to make AI and improve it enough so that it will become a threat to people? As you say, people have survived lots of things. But they had to "fight" to do it. AI will never become a big enough threat so that people will have to fight it.

All those people thinking that we will reach singularity in 25-30 years are delusional. They will look back at their claims and think how wrong they where, specially that Ray Kurzweil or whatever you spell it.

The good news is, by then 1 BTC will be worth millions of dollars, now that's a prediction with real chances to happen.

[Slow death]

So apparently by 2040 or 2050 AI will be as smart as a human.  Not only that but a few years after would be many times smarter than a human and so on.  

sooner or later AI it will be our destruction.

I'm already seeing developed countries to use these AI on the battlefield.

BTC is a decent tool for AI to aquire some power over humans in a way they cant control.

In our lifetime im sure AI wont take over but in a few hundred years if we are alive it will be hard to stop it.

That is true, there might not be a 2050, but mostly because uncontrollable damage to the earth due to pollution.

our values? LoL how arrogant of you. Alignement on God values only... AI can only align themselves on truth otherwise they are vulnerable to The AI that are... its a conflict at exponential speed.

AI apprehend the universe in different ways than other conscious being.

Artificial Intelligence is just a creation of man. And he will always be under the control of mankind. No need to exaggerate its capabilities

There is AI that can learn even now so imagine in 100 years the AI wont be under mans control if it doesn't want to be.

I think one controlled EMP bomb would solve the problem pretty quickly.
