It seems like Rodney Brooks was saying the same thing to Musk last week. Musk is out of his sandbox here. The latest iteration of AI gives us a nice categorization and pattern matching tool which has certain ethical consequences, but when I hear Musk talk about it it seems like he thinks that hard AI is just around the corner. I haven't seen anything to suggest that it is. We don't even have AI as smart as a housefly.
- rbanffy 9y agoIt's not really relevant whether hard AI is or is not just around the corner if it's able to self-improve and set its own goals at a pace we can't follow or understand. The probability of ir happening this afternoon is close to zero, but the probability of it having happened before the end of the century is very close to 1. This means it's possible there will be no meatware celebrating the turn of the century.
- rdlecler1 9y agoIt does matter because we have no idea what the world will look like when we do get to a point where we know it's 10-20 years away. Right now we're not even close to there yet and so it's mostly fear mongering.
