Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World

Product Information

Overall, the book sheds light on a perspective of AI that evades most people! It discusses why the AI intelligent is totally different than the old "dumb" computers that only did speed processing according to what we give it as a work map, in terms of instructions, to the totally new Ai that could learn on its own and navigate towards its goal or mission!

Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How

The solution-to-problem relationship is like trying to use afly swatter to bat away a nuclear warhead. Bias also seems apparent. Numerous comments gave me the impression that capitalism and the West in general are troubled environments that will endlessly develop AI to our peril. That may be, but it seems to widely ignore countries with other economic systems, and questionable leaders, that are investing heavily in AI systems as well for a wide range of purposes. Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong?uses ellipsis and mid line placement to stress what it thinks are important points, like an 8 year old’s creative writing. AI is already more capable and intelligent than humanity. Today's self-driving cars are better than the average human driver and fifty per cent of jobs in the US are expected to be taken by AI-automated machines before the end of the century. In this urgent piece, Mo argues that if we don’t take action now – in the infancy of AI development – it may become too powerful to control. If our behaviour towards technology remains unchanged, AI could disregard human morals in favour of profits and efficiency, with alarming and far-reaching consequences. AI is coming. We can’t prevent it but we can make sure it is put on the right path in its infancy. We should start a movement, but not one that attempts to ban it [. . .] nor tries to control it [. . .]. Instead, we can support those who create AI for good and expose the negative impacts of those who task AI to do any form of evil. Register our support for good and our disagreement with evil so widely that the smart ones (by smart ones I mean, of course, the machines, not the politicians and business leaders) unmistakably understand our collective human intention to be good. How do you do that? It’s simple. Now consider that AI will be WAY more dangerous and WAY less manageable and WAY WAY more profitable. I found a few graphs, which were useful. I found the circled points a little annoying, but maybe the author learns better this way.

Nearly 20 years ago, the movie "I, Robot" warned of an impending robot revolution powered by artificial intelligence that views humanity as "scum." Now, what was once science fiction has become a paramount concern for tech executives and futurists. Mo Gawdat, former chief business officer for Google's secretive research and development lab "X," joins CBS News to discuss the future of AI. Including regulating our environment and economy and everything else computers currently do, and a whole lot more that we simply can’t predict, because we won’t be the ones inventing it or even making it anymore. Teach each other how to teach the AI. (This ought to be 'one another' as more than two people are involved.)Sadly, the above is the only part of the book I found interesting. Portions of the book seem to obsess with sowing fear about the capabilities and problems of AI. The latter half suggests that all can be solved by following the golden rule, to treat others nicely and hope that future AI systems learn from us. The author often seems to anthromorphize AI into a lost child needing a guardian. Confusingly, he notes that nobody truly understands how AI works but seems to know the solution to the problem. A section that really resonated with me was his exploration of the potential impact of AI on our day-to-day lives. Gawdat does a solid job of extrapolating current trends and imagining the world a few decades down the line. It’s a vision that’s both exciting and cautionary, filled with opportunities and pitfalls. Mo Gawdat is my life guru. His writing, his ideas and his generosity in sharing them has changed my life for the better in so many ways. Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be human. Because the cost of generating, of creating an iPhone, if you’re as intelligent as life itself, is almost nil. You can create an iPhone from nanoparticles or from its basic constituents with solar energy at no cost at all if you’ve created the robots that can create it. Is that a possible scenario? Yes, that’s also a possible scenario. The difference between them, however, is what we are going to do. And the biggest mistake, the biggest miss is that we can enslave AI. So, you started your questions with the discussions that are happening to ensure that we are in a good place. And the discussions are still firmly anchored in the arrogance of humanity, which is discussions around regulation and something that in computer science we call the control problem. I can argue for 200 technical reasons why the control problem is not going to be resolved, as optimistically as the scientists will say. I can argue for business problems and capitalist problems. For example, if a young girl suddenly jumps in the middle of the road in front of a self-driving car, the car needs to make a swift decision that might inevitably hurt someone else. Either turn a bit to the left and hit an old lady, to save the life of the young girl, or stay on course and hit the girl. What is the ethical choice to make? Should the car value the young more than the old? Or should it hold everyone accountable and not claim the life of the lady who did nothing wrong? What if it was two old ladies? What if one was a scientist who the machines knew was about to find a cure for cancer? What determines the right ethical code then? Would we sue the car for making either choice? Who bears the responsibility for the choice? Its owner? Manufacturer? Or software designer? Would that be fair when the AI running the car has been influenced by its own learning path and not through the influence of any of them?

Gawdat is the author of Solve for Happy: Engineering Your Path to Joy (2017). Dedicated to his son Ali, who died in 2014, the book outlines methods for managing and preventing disappointment. [9] It’s hard to remember how different life was before smart phones. That is, until the internet goes out and you have like NOTHING happening, and you can’t tolerate existing. Everything we say either on videos, in books, podcasts, etc. will be read one day by AI in minutes, processed and decisions will be made accordingly! We in this age have a moral responsibility about what we put out there on the internet because a smart child is watching and will soon grow up and its applications will be everywhere that it will have access to all that we put on the internet! Most importantly however, in the latter part of the book, he shares a totally hitherto unique point of view on how we can embrace this movement and use it as an aid in building a better world, since we cannot stop it’s progress. Mo Gawdat]: The truth of the matter is that the reason why AI is going to continue is not a technology issue. The reason why AI is going to continue is a very simple prisoner’s dilemma that is created by capitalism. The fact is, there are hundreds of thousands of two little kids in a garage today playing with AI tools. Just like I played with C++ when I was younger. You know, the very basics at the very beginning of Sinclairs and Commodores and so on.

While the first chapters were an interesting read for a layman such as myself, I think the book itself was utterly incoherent. When machines are specifically built to discriminate, rank and categorize, how do we expect to teach them to value equality?’ There wasn’t much depth into topics: yes AI could be good or bad and it’s there in all the cliche ways you would expect.

Book review: ‘Scary Smart’ by Mo Gawdat | E+T Magazine

Or, it could be that this text was actually written (developed? Spawned?) by an AI bot which is why it was so sparsely referenced, simply circular and most annoyingly… The author talked about the three inevitables, 1) AI will happen, 2) it will outsmart humans on all aspects, and 3) mistakes will be made! I read a borrowed copy of this book courtesy of my local indie bookstore, which is hosting a talk on the subject of AI soon.Scary Smart will teach you how to navigate the scary and inevitable intrusion of Artificial Intelligence, with an accessible blueprint for creating a harmonious future alongside AI.
