Superintelligence: what happens in a world with AI that is hundreds or thousands of times smarter than humans?
In this episode of future39 we're chatting with research scientist Roman Yampolskiy. He’s a professor at the University of Louisville, and his most recent book is Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach.
What we talk about:
- Define superintelligence … what are we talking about here?
- Assume we can create a superintelligence … or one emerges … what are the potential dangers?
- Is there any reason to assume that an artificial superintelligence would have any particular kind of morality?
- What about the opportunities? What would a superintelligence enable?
- Elon Musk thinks we’ll have to augment to compete. Agree?
- What happens to humans in a world with one -- or many -- superintelligences?
- How likely do you think a superintelligence is in the next 10 to 20 years?
