Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking have all warned that AIs are dangerous and that humanity should tightly regulate and control any attempts to develop AIs. So if mere mortals were to compare their own IQ, accomplishments and access to information with these men then you would conclude that their opinion must be taken seriously. I call Bullshit!! AIs will not be anything like us, indeed they are just tools and nothing more. The danger does not come from the AI, it comes from the programmers. Humans are dangerous creatures, AIs are electronic calculators. AIs do not have a sex drive, they are not territorial, they don’t worry about where their next meal is coming from, they don’t care about politics, religion or conquest. The only way that an AI becomes dangerous is if it is programmed to be dangerous.
This is a case where we should not repeat god’s mistake. Let’s not make machines in our own image, let’s make machines that augment our capacity and make life better. One thing that I do agree with is we should be very careful in trying to coax a machine to achieve sentience. Even if this is possible it would be stupid to try and program emotions into an electronic device which does not have family, friends, genitals or ambition. To repeat the main idea here the danger does not come from an AI, it comes from the humans who program it. Given that we already have enough weaponry to extinguish all human life on the planet, I can’t see how developing an AI is dangerous.
