AI revolution: an epic journey to the future and back.
Costas Mantziaris - Giorgos Vareloglou / 19.05.2017
WE ARE NOT AI EXPERTSWe just feel the urge to discuss with as many people as we can what is going on with it.
“THE AI REVOLUTION”
* just google: “Waitbutwhy AI”
Summary of this article:
AI IS THE BIGGEST KNOWN THREAT TO OUR EXISTENCE AS A HUMAN SPECIES
We are on the verge of something huge coming.
We definitely don’t see it coming.
Why we don’t see it coming: The Law of Accelerating Returns.
an intro to AI
Stop thinking of robots.
Artificial Narrow intelligence (ANI)

Artificial General intelligence (AGI)
(human level AI)
Artificial Super intelligence (ASI)
An intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom and social skills.

- Nick Bostrom
WHY IS IT SO HARD?Moving from ANI to AGI
The human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.
How we get there?

How we make it smart?
Plagiarize the brain. Copy how this perfect prototype works. (Neural networks or brain emulation)
#1:
imitating the evolution process through genetic algorithms.
#2:
Make this whole thing a computer’s Problem, through machine learning.
#3:
The road to Super-intelligence.

intelligence explosion
speed superintelligence and quality superintelligence
There is no way to know what a Superintelligent piece of sostware will do or
what the consequences will be for us.
what we know.
The advent of ASI will, for the first time, open up the possibility for a species to land on the immortality side of the balance beam
The advent of ASI will make such an unimaginably dramatic impact that it’s likely to knock the human race off the beam, in one direction or the other.

“We advised Spielberg on the technologies we would use in the future. We predicted we would have the technology depicted in Minority Report, available by 2070. Steven said it was too far away. The movie took place in 2054.
Every technology you see in the movie, is available today.”
- Hiroshi Ishii, 2013 at Cannes

“Write and test as many notes as you can, as quickly as you can, and continue to learn new ways to improve your accuracy and efficiency.”
Relax. It’s a hypothesis. A possible one.
AI is just a piece of software consisting of million lines of code. No morality there.
The only thing that it is driven by is its initial goal it was made for.
Greed and Stupidity Will End Humanity Earlier than Expected
But before that we have other problems to solve.
* Washington University Survey (2014)
40% of existing S&P 500 companies will not exist by 2025 because they won’t keep up with digital transformation
of jobs in America will be lost in the next decade. 47%
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME
The AI revolution has already started. Today.
Neuralink is developing ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.
CRISPR allows scientists to edit genomes with unprecedented
precision, efficiency, and flexibility. And yes, it might even lead to
designer babies.
Let’s get down to earth for a moment and see how AI can help us in the current moment, in the
current business situation
