Is Artificial Intelligence safe to us?

Artificial Intelligence(AI), it is one of the computer science branched, it

attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and invent a high-

intelligence-machine which can react similar as a human-intelligence. AI

simulates the human consciousness and the process of thinking and

managing information. AI is not human intelligence, but it can think as

human being or transcend human intelligence.

Because of the high speed of the AIs development and its unlimited

future, people worry about AI may transcend human intelligence and against

human being. In last few decades, there were some drama and movie reveal

the worry about AI against human being, such like The Matrix series, The

Terminator series, etc. Nowadays, AI is already transcended human

intelligence in some fields, such as: AlphaGo defeated LeeSedol with the final

score 4 to 1 with playing board game Go, etc. So people were worry about

the scene in The Matrix series which the AI rules the world in the near future.

So, should we concern about AI supersede human and how should we deal

with the relationship between human and AI if AI to safe to human.

In December 2014, Stephen Hawking told that The development of

full Artificial Intelligence could spell the end of human race. It would take off

on its own, and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are

limited by slow biological evolution, couldnt compete, and would be

superseded. And Artificial Intelligence either the best or the worst thing

ever to happen to human. In What if We Create Human Level Artificial

Intelligence? Toby points the highest potential risk from Artificial Intelligence

was its high progress rate. The field of AIs progress is considerably similar

exponential trends which we can assume that AIs ability can be doubled in

every two years. Compare to the development of AI, the progress of human

intelligence is very slow due to the biological and chemical limits of the

human brains. In near future, AI will transcend human intelligence, the

difference will be enlarged with an increasing rate and AI can improve itself

in an infinite number of times, human cannot restraint AI any more in a

specific time. Reviewing the biology history, many animals are bigger, faster

and stronger than human, but human, a much weaker creature became the

dominant species on the Earth because we are so intelligent. We invented

tools, agriculture and technology to change our life and dominate the plant.

In another word, higher intelligence can dominate the planet. In the future,

human might be dominated by a weaker but higher intelligence. Al will

replace human to be the dominant of our plant.

If the AI do the damage to human, it is totally because its designers

failed to prioritize its goals properly. Throughout history, all society have had

oversight system, the highest potential risk will be the best tool if we can

guide the AI guardian to oversight AI. Designing AI Systems That Obey Our

Laws and Values points that AI operational system are learning systems, they

can learn emotion and understand emotion but they dont have emotion. If
programmers set up AI guardians guideline correctly, AI guardian can

determine whether the AI they oversight is legal and ethical alone in real

time. We need to set up different kinds of AI guardian such as interrogators,

auditors, monitors, enforcers and ethics bots. The growing AI guardian can

ensure the growing AI operational systems will act legally and observed the

moral values of those who own and operate them. AI guardian systems can

control AI system and ensure the safety, human should have the ultimate

say about the roles on acting AI systems and AI guardian systems, both

systems should have a on and off switch. None of them should be completely

autonomous. Ultimately, smart technology will still be a great tool to serve

human purposes.

After ensuring AIs safety, some people might say that AI will surpass

human capabilities, steal our jobs which will cause the high unemployment

rate and economic disaster. But in Artificial Intelligence: Think Again Jerry

shows his two views about AI will not damage our economic. In two hundred

years ago, more the 90% US labor force worked on farms. Now, barely 2%

remaining, it doesnt mean the more unemployment today but more job

selection and higher utilization rate. And as many of todays jobs did not

exist even in a few decades, in the AI industrial revolution will explode jobs

and opportunity. And base on the characteristics of computer, AI only do

what we program in its code, therefore, AI dont have some specific

capabilities that causes AI cannot do some specific jobs. These two views

show AI industrial revolution will create more jobs for people and AI cannot
replace peoples position, the characteristics of AI will make our life more

efficient and more convenient.

In the future, AI will be one part of our life to serve us and solving our

daily problems. Being a great AI serving system, it need to understand what

the object need, in another word, a great AI serving system need to

understand human emotion well. Is it possible that a AI system can

understand human emotion? Because AI determine human emotion mostly

base on the face expression, but we all know, sometime our facial expression

is not what we truly feel. In Sophia Stuarts How Do You Fell? Affectivas AI

Can Tell , the Affectivas tech creates classifiers, and facial emotion

algorithms, from millions of faces analyzed and billions of emotion data

points record. Affectivas emotion recognition mapped hundreds of white

dots on objects face, scanned and moved as objects expression changed,

tracking 15 different muscular action and 14 frames per second, and

translating all the data to compare, contrast and analyze against the

database. Affectiva constantly measuring and analyzing about human

expression, makes its database big enough to categorize every specific

human emotion base on the expression.

At the end, we need to talk about the disadvantages of AI, in The

Future of Artificial Intelligence. Allison Berke uses three professional

researchers viewpoint to indicate that the Matrix issues is possibly

happening in the future, we need to carefully guide the AI guardians to

ensure our safety. AIs exponential rapid development might cause a

depletion of the Earths resources, excessive using AI might cause the grow

the indolence of humanity and the low- to moderate-level risk, such as the

risk of a self-driving injuring a pedestrian, etc. We must address AIs

disadvantage seriously and we should make good use of the best advantage

of humanity-Using tools, AI is our tool, use it, order it, dont be used by our

tool and we dont need AI to tell us how to achieve them.

In the future, AI will be stay around us, become an important part of

our life and make our life better. But because of the characteristics of AI, we

have to understand the advantages and disadvantages of AI, improve them

to be what we want them to be and make them as our best tool.
