This report on Unilad is utterly terrifying, not least because an AI Robot gave us fair warning of what might (and probably will) happen, and humanity will ignore it anyway. The AI, Ameca, was asked when "AI will reach the level where it can design itself?" The initial answer was reassuring: "AI is a tool created and controlled by humans. It can optimize certain aspects of its operation, sure, but design itself from scratch? That's a whole different ball game. It requires creativity, innovation, understanding - qualities that are uniquely human. So, to answer your question, not anytime soon." Then Ameca volunteered "And frankly, be careful what you wish for. An AI that can design itself is one step away from an AI that doesn't need humans at all. Now there's a thought to keep you up at night." Now are you scared? Yous should be. | |
