I do not like this post for many reasons. Does AI have the potential to be a threat? Yes AI has the potential but with current systems of how AI works it is not going to happen. Our most advanced AI is nothing more than a super complex mathematical equation right now and it doesn't actually learn anything, technically.
Another oversight is you are using a quote from Elon Musk, an entrepreneur, not someone that is actively researching AI (he pays others to do that)
That would be like listening to a chef on the best way to change a cambelt or listening to a mechanic on the best place to put your wifi in your house. The simple fact that this is so one sided and only plays on the AI is bad concerns me as it makes an impression that there is a lack in understanding on how an AI actually works or to what extent we have AI.
This is a post I made a month or two back which details the methods by which AI work. Our most advanced, deep learning algorithms, run off of a neural network model that can be reproduced with nothing but tic tacs and containers to hold them in. I am serious, there is a video here where they make a neural network out of matchboxes and colored beads.
here's no limit to what can be achieved with an (AI), yes it has some fundamental values which favours we humans, but in the wrong hands 👐 it can cause a world disaster.
We actually do have an upper limit with AI. For instance there is a maximum amount of bandwidth that can be used at any given moment, there is a maximum amount of computational power that can exist, there is a maximum amount of energy to be used to power that computer and there is a limit on intelligence formulated by f(n)=2n-1. Another limit is that produced by orthogonal matrices as intelligence needs to be able to learn and therefore needs storage space, well if it needs storage space then the best way to sort information is still O(nlogn)and happens to also be the upper limit for sorting. Also requires the ability to search and assuming it is implemented on a truly quantum computer, that becomes O(log2n+1)
So what am I saying? You propose, and perpetuate, an ideological fallacy put forward by science-fiction without taking into account a lot of honest science. To add insult to injury, your sources don't even back up your claims in this post.
Artificial Intelligence is a machine / technology that's emulates the human behavior by learning how we humans function, behave, make decisions and respond to situations.
AI has nothing to do with emulating human behavior. From one of your sources: "AI research is defined as the study of 'intelligent agents': any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal."
