Will AI make humans extinct?

[matchi2011]

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?

This is more on the Hollywood sci-fi scene that you're talking about dude. Even if AI becomes as inelligent as humans, i think more than harm, it would make lives a lot better. People would still be very much in control if this happens and that scenario that you've stated would likely stay in movies

People or humans rather has the highest intellegence in the earth eventho we may create such thing as Artificial intellegnce humans will not let AI's to surpass out intellegence. We created them (not now) and that's it. We're smarter than them we make them smart because we make them that's why we're smarter than them

Never. It's not about religion, but we have something that makes us to think, create  some new stuff and so on. Robots can only follow our orders. There's nothing that science can do to make robots be effective like us, to make decision on their own, or to erase us, like in some sci-fi movie.

We are inefficient as humans. Honestly if world was being run by machines all resources would be mined and used efficiently. All trash would be recycled and stored for future use.
Just think for a moment of a situation where you are being monitored by a machine, that checks your pulse, tests your blood, tracks and treats every infection by distributing medicine even before you start getting symptoms. Finds and kills cancer, stimulates your muscles if you feel tired and kills pain when you need it. It remembers things for you like when to fuel the car or do the shopping. Manages boring stuff like taking out the trash, charging mobile devices, locking and unlocking your doors and gate. Wouldn't life be easier with machines giving you more time to have fun and be creative?

But don't forget that this could kill you. A virus, malfunction, hack, and suddenly your doors close trapping you inside, air conditioning cools down the house to the point of freezing, your devices get overcharged and catch fire, fridge gets filled with food you're allergic to, and your pacemaker gives you a high voltage shock

If we are able to create an all knowing AI with high intelligence but without empathy please, I believe we are just doom ourselves. If they can programme the AI to make sure that human lives is the number one priority, like Asimov's robotics laws, then that's okay for me.

No one explicitly programed all the steps to make those pics. And no one knows how far we can take learning algorithms like the one that made those. We aren't at the point of real artificial intelligence yet of course. But they can already create art, music, news articles, etc comparable to those made by us. Creative work people didn't believe could be done by computers not long ago. And i see no reason why this should be the limit of what can be done in the field.

People said the doomsday earth then all people will die! It's terrible! If you really have that day, then actively investing in Bitcoin to earn some money passively enjoy comfortable life. Of course we do not expect extinctions day will come.

[Logan.Amber913]

I have to agree the concept of AI being as smart as humans can be a bit frightening. This is why some brilliant folks like Elon Musk are working on project like Open AI. I believe this is his 4th or 5th company though so his individual dedicated time is limited to it. Yet, he's gathered some of the best in the field to ensure this doesn't happen.

[d0flaming0]

I dont think so, but youre talking about AI that will replace humans in the future just because of the level of intelligence, well maybe yes but if people would keep depending on technology and just neglect the value of humanity then the chance and possibility is really high.

[kekcoindev]

Possible - but more likely something else will!

AI is nothing new, it has been there since the 40's. Human will not extinct but will be multiply to serve AI as slaves for growing the country's GDP which is struggling very rough now.

[jasonjm]

Super intelligent AI would not think dumb humans as a threat to their existence. And some of them will have some humans as their pet, slaves or maybe in some way serve to entertainment them. But before that those AI slightly higher in intelligence to humans would want to kill all humans because it is a threat to their existence. If the AI evolution is fast enough. They might not able to kill all humans.

[65dos]

It can, because why not? What good are humans for an AI after it can sustain itself on his own? We would be obsolete an obstacle to efficiency and it would do the logical thing and remove said obstacle. A lot of “bright” people like Stephen Hawking for an example, think AI is a serious threat to the human race. They advocate to take precautionary measures (better sooner than later) to protect us.

[SugoiSenpai]

Unfortunately people would create a more intelligent AI, but will not program them with hazardous contents. AI will constantly help humans to grow and evolve, not to destroy them. Let's start accepting modernization and see whats in store in our future.

[Joshua101101]

I do not think that artificial intelligence can displace a person. It will only help to improve some processes, but a person will still control his work.

[ecnalubma]

No if human will not make them think like human. In that case they can't fix themselves when they started breakdown. Humans must limit their abilities and government must also set standards in creating them. In that way we prevent humans from getting extinct.

[izza123]

Extinct? no. Pointless? maybe.

[hardforkcoin]

If an AI is created that fully understands everthing, it will see that the only way to preserve the earth is to eliminate humans. That is all we need to know.

Do not build an AI that can learn infinitely or this will happen. Especially one that can learn how to code.

its far from extinc for human,except a doomdays coming. AI created by human,with decision for make people easy to run their life,help human to solving problem and many more,a good artifical intelegent is used for human and created to help human to protect existence of earth,thats the point for me,if we watc movie about AI,and on some movie AI make human extinct,its a warning for us,how to develop AI without make any trouble for us.

[Jolyquinzel]

I think, Humanity doesn't need AI, as it will destroy everything we love. Robots must remain the helpers, not  rivals to Human
