 The greatest advantage of artificial intelligent system is that it can never get tired or sleepy or bored and since it can be programmed to do dangerous tasks human safety and security will not be at risk.

RISK FACTORS

Under this topic we will discuss about the risks associated with Artificial Intelligence. We will see that there are many risk factors but the most crucial risk factor is existential threat from Artificial Intelligence One of the main disadvantage of AI is the cost which is required in the maintenance and repair If robots replace human beings in every field it would create unemployment, thousands of people will be jobless. If the control of machines goes into wrong hand it would lead to destruction, the

STEPHEN HAWKING:
Stephen Hawking the world’s most famous cosmologist told the media about his concerns and worries regarding AI. According to him the development of full artificial intelligence could mark the end of human race. Since human beings are limited by slow biological evolution they will be superseded. Stephen Hawking said that” Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history, Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.

ELON MUSK:
Elon Musk called the development of artificial intelligence as our greatest existential threat. Elon Musk have decided to invest in artificial intelligence firm DeepMind just to keep an eye on what’s happening there, as according to him there may be something dangerous outcome there.

    in 1942, author Isaac Asimov wrote a landmark science fiction book introducing three laws of robotics entitled “I, Robot.” These laws set the groundwork for a multitude of books, movies and other media including the modern movie “I, Robot” based loosely on one of Asimov’s short stories. The popularity of this sub culture highlights the curiosity of AI as we expand our technology. The recurring fear that something man made could overtake us has been one explored often and frequently, which is why Carr’s work comes as no surprise. Carr cites sociologist Daniel Bell when it comes to the use of the technologies we create: “as we use...the tools that extend our mental rather than our physical capacities — we inevitably begin to take on the qualities of those technologies.”…

    The future holds infinite possibilities and with such an unknown sense of what is coming, one often finds it difficult to pinpoint what awaits the human race in the future. One possibility about a hypothesized turn of events that is primed to take place in the future is known as the Singularity, which is contingent upon the belief that technological machines will surpass humans in terms of intelligence and population size. In his text The Singularity is Near, Ray Kurzweil outlines his predictions for the future of humankind, in which he discusses his optimistic view that an amalgamation between humans and machines can not only improve lifestyle but technology and scientific advancements that arise along with the Singularity additionally have…

    Musk also talks about how we are innovating at a crazy rate that is too fast for anyone to keep up. The potential danger of artificial intelligence is that what computers are going to do with us when they become more intelligent. For Example if we tell the artificial intelligence system to make everyone in the world happy, instead of trying to please everyone 's needs it might think that it will be easier just to kill everyone because that way it will have less people to please. That 's an example of why we can control artificial intelligence, it will always be evolving until it becomes better than the humans and it would have no reason to keep us around anymore. Elon Musk is gives similar example by stating that if artificial intelligence see that humans are no longer useful, it can easily enslave humankind without even thinking about…

    The difference in the meaning of AI and AGI come from the old definition and expectations of what AI was compared to the one we know today. There was a proposal made to research AI at Dartmouth College in 1955 which stated: The study is to proceed on the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. (McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester & Shannon, 1955, p. 13) This idea of AI is the one we know today to be AGI. Unbeknownst to the researches at the time, the difficulty to implement the study was immense.…

    She emphasizes that there are a certain limits to which AI can exist or it can be fatal for the mankind. However, Kurzweil states that because AI is becoming economically feasible, people have started experiencing solid alleviation of the poverty, disease, hard labor, and misfortune, which have been characterized a significant amount of human history. He explains that inventions in such field can enable us to spy on enemy territories. The way of doing so will be by monitoring the opposition’s land by the help of Nano-spies, which can carry out certain duties that soldiers would not be able to perform as they have a much higher chance of blowing his cover. If an autobot spooks the enemies, the loss suffered will be much less than losing a life.…

    Now that super-human AI seems plausible, some of us have become worried about safety regarding the future AI development. They typically come in two forms. The first concern is that due to our inability to understanding the technical issues involved in complex systems, an AI system may end up exhibiting behavior or achieving a goal much different than what the designer purported. If the capabilities of this system are super-human in most aspects, it may end up unintentionally being dangerous to humans. The second and perhaps the most popular concern is that even if the AI system does not derail from its purported goal and behavior, there remains the possibility that the designer may himself provide AI systems such goals that are potentially conflicting with the goals of some of us.…

    The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story “Liar!” he attempts to humanize the robot to distance it from the Frankenstein Complex.…

    As people continue to upgrade and advance computer technology, focusing on mimicking human traits and patterns, it won’t be long until robots begin to replace us. Many people can say without hesitation that mass unemployment will erupt as companies resort to cheaper and more efficient artificial workers. People like Elon Musk describe how the only way for people to stay relevant is by getting upgraded themselves, adding mechanical aspects to enhance our skills. This second part doesn’t seem too bad, in fact its a sci-fi lovers dream (my dream) of slowly becoming one with robots.…

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science that makes the machine intelligent, e.g. when the computer makes decisions in a similar way that human does. AI is applied in software or machines From the research I did, the scientists are investigating on two type of AI, one AI is that it has its own personality, it can acts as human, has own emotion, feel what human can feel and its own thinking, so singularity. And this AI has self learning program so it is like human can learn from experience. The other type of AI is like a program that process things automatically, it has kind of human intelligence like choosing the best option in a certain situation but it can not have its own emotion self learning that the human does. I have chosen AI because…
