These machines are going to reflect our species and our evolutionary process. Everything we are will end up in these artificially intelligent machines no matter what we do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we are machines, then in principle at least, we should be able to build machines out of other stuff, which are just as alive as we are.
For the moment, machines able to 'think' in anything approaching a human sense remain science-fiction. How we should prepare for their potential emergence, however, is a deeply unsettling question - not least because intelligent machines seem considerably more achievable than any consensus around their programming or consequences.
In consequence of inventing machines, men will be devoured by them.
If we're going to achieve compassion in the machines and also feel safe with the machines, to raise machines with human-like values, we need to make them human-like by simulating, or perhaps eventually imitating, human beings in high accuracy from top to bottom.
I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.
Eventually we'll be able to sequence the human genome and replicate how nature did intelligence in a carbon-based system.
Robots will harvest, cook, and serve our food. They will work in our factories, drive our cars, and walk our dogs. Like it or not, the age of work is coming to an end.
We have to make machines understand what they're doing, or they won't be able to come back and say, 'Why did you do that?'
We're making progress, but getting machines to replicate our ability to perceive and manipulate the world remains incredibly hard.
