A TALE OF TWO GRAPHS Human-driven innovation AI-driven innovation TIME
“A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.” Alan Turing “…how do we really tell that any humanoid creature is conscious? How do you tell that I am conscious, and how do I tell that you are?” William Lycan My Chinese Room thought experiment shows that responding to input in expected ways using a pre-defined set of rules and a translation table can not currently prove consciousness. William Lycan John Searle
WHAT KIND OF AI IS IT?
DEEP BLUE I wrote a computer chess program in 1948, but no computers of the time were capable of running it.
“When we say [AI is] 20 years out or decades away, we say that it so far out, we can’t really measure it.” Mustafa Suleyman DEEPMIND
BARRIERS TO STRONG AI • The complexity of the human brain is underestimated • Hardware/software performance levels off • Thermal barriers • Memory access speed • Parallel processing • Sophistication of algorithms • Knowledge representation is hard for machines • Too much emphasis on commercialization
Fermi’s Paradox • Where is everybody? • Rare earth theory • Extinction events • The speed of light • The truth is out there “The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.” Bill Watterson
WHAT DO YOU THINK? • Will there be a singularity? • When? • How? • What?
