Electronic Singularity Kyle Cich

What is it? ● It is the point of time where a machine becomes more intelligent than the general human intellect.

How is this possible? ● Moore’s law ● Advances in Artificial intelligence. ● Human’s use of tools

Moore’s law ● transistors on a microprocessor doubled every 12 to 18 months

Artificial intelligence Two kinds narrow and general ● Narrow Artificial Intelligence ● General Artificial Intelligence

Advances in AI 1997 deep blue defeats chess world champion 2011 Watson beats most successful jeopardy champions Now some Self driving cars do not even need a steering wheel, home assistants such as alexa and google assistant

Humans use of tools Humans have used intelligence to make tools in order to survive and make life easier

Possible outcomes Merge with the machines ● Machines do all of our ● work for us Machines could enslave ● us Machines and humans ● coexist

What are the ethical issues? ● Violates Kantian 2nd prerogative ● How do we create these machines to have our moral and ethical codes

Utilitarianism Benefits ● No work ○ Solve complex problems faster ○ We can do whatever we want ○ Costs ● What to with unemployment ○ People without a purpose ○ How would anyone buy anything / economy ○

Trying to solve the issue ● Asimov's three laws ● Try to teach the machines our moral codes ● Being cautious when researching AI

conclusion This is not a question of if but when the nearest estimate being 2030 We need it to start planning for when this happens We might need to give up some tech I believe we need to have plans in place and also be cautious about going forward with AI research
