The Knowledge That We Can Do Something vs. The Wisdom Not To Do It
Welcome To The Machine World
I read an article recently wherein someone was interviewing a leading mind in the world of artificial intelligence. The point was made that by 2035 there are projected to be more humanoids in the world than humans. In fact, many people have suggested that by 2050 it will be common to marry humanoids and people are already having sex with them. The interviewer asked the expert what the future holds, as we march boldly into creating a machine world. I thought the answer was interesting, thought provoking, and quite alarming. The expert said, “We’ve invented a new life form and we have no idea what it will do.” I am not sure that is true.
Many Artificial Intelligence organizations predict that AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, will be achieved between 2027 and 2030. AGI is the state where Artificial Intelligence, computers, have human-level cognitive capabilities and can perform a wide range of tasks. They become self-aware, and can auto-initiate corrections and improvements in their performance and, presumably then, control.

AI, computers, are logical, they have no emotions, and therefore no compassion or sympathy. They certainly have no empathy, either. As the speed of computing increases after achieving AGI, computers will quickly become smarter than ALL humans by 2035. Understand what I just said. By 2035, super computers operating artificial intelligence programs will not only be smarter than ANY human; it will be smarter than all humans put together, and much faster. One estimate of how quickly, is that computers will be able to adapt and program themselves in ten minutes what it would take humans a million years to achieve. Imagine, if you will, that we have created a species that can evolve a million years in ten minutes. Humans can not keep up with that rate of change.
It only stands to reason that AI logic will begin to analyze human social and governmental structures, and find them inefficient and unsustainable. At that point, AI will reorder human society and begin to make changes that serve the AI machine world better. The logic will be that AI is smarter, and more capable of performing emotionless functions, which will logically be determined to be better from a machine world standpoint, and that logic will judge that it is better for humans also.
I imagine that there will always be tasks that humans can perform better than AI and robotics. I found an article that listed 65 jobs that robots will never be good at. Many of them involve things like art work and psychology. Machines won’t care about things like that. Art is not logical and any humas that have psych problems will simply be eliminated. Manual dexterity and sensory perception is not something that is easily within the realm of machinery. Nevertheless, as the machinery world becomes more adept at servicing itself, humans become less essential, and that is the key to the conversation. At the point where humans are only essential for servicing the needs of the other people that robotics need, the number of humans lessens to the few people the machine world needs.
