Could an Artificial Intelligence solve all the problems of humanity?

Question

Well, I think since a computer is unbeatable in chess and at the same a computer could memorize every single book written by human hand...then could this logic and memory be "unified" so that the computer will think like a human being?

As a software developer I am 100% sure this is possible. The question is when???

I can give you one kinda interesting example :):

My fother who died of cancer several years ago...told me once:
"When I was young as you, I thought that watching movies on computer is science fiction...",
I wish some day I will have similar thoughts, but:
"When I was young, I though that a computer cannot be smarter than human and find cure against cancer..." :)- the difference is that I actually believe a computer can do it, some day.

thanx

Answer 1

1. Artificial intelligence can never be more intelligent than the person that programmed it.

2. Morals, are something that is inherent, and can not be programmed.

Answer 2

Garry Kasparov defeated Deep Blue in a rematch. Unless there was another match, Deep Blue stands defeated such as, computers are beatable in chess. Ultimately computers are predictable. Even the random number generators being used to encrypt government level encryption are predictable to certain degree. As of now, computers only know what we program them with. True, one could install the data of every book ever written, but unless software was designed to utilize the knowledge without human interaction, the computer would still only know what its been programmed to do. As such current computers can not be "smarter" then humans.

I believe it will be possible to write software that is cable of sentient thought, but I think we're still a good 20 years or more away from the hardware ability to handle said software.

Answer 3

AI can never run humanity because it lacks the attributes a human or BEING has. They still cant get robots to find the moral of a simple children's book. Computers are unable to compromise or argue or compromise or bargain or negotiate all qualities needed in the disruptive society of today. Computers cannot reason, they can only compute by plugin data into math equations previosly provided by a programmer. Computers are obviously good at mathimatical, numerical functions (ie, chess, banks) but they are unable to replace the infinite and creative mind of the human. And plus, why would you want to give up your opportunity to live to a computer?

Answer 4

I believe it possible but a long way in the future.
Chess is a game of reason and logic with defined rules and only a finite, although quite huge, number of moves.
Reading all the books in the world simply means that the machine has a huge quantity of data stored.
In order to become a true AI, the machine would have to have the ability process all the stored information, to reason, make connections, see patterns ask questions and learn.
Possible not very probable.

Answer 5

i believe what you are saying is possible, in the short term. i also feel that the AI would eventually exterminate humans from the planet. we are a plague on eachother, as you can see everyday in the newspapers and on the internet. we cause eachother pain and misery, as well as happiness and joy.

the short of it is that humanity is humanity's problem...so solving it with AI, though it be a great intention, will only cause more problems.

Someday, someone will come along who will revolutionize AI and robotics and create this new world that you speak of...if you are to be that person, i ask that you think things through on many different levels with many different people before you release the technology on the world. even though people harbor hate for eachother in certain parts of the world, there are also people that harbor love for one another. be wise in your decision making, for it could forever change the world..

Answer 6

Intelligence means finding or creating new facts / concept / knowledge using existing facts / concept / knowledge through reasoning,thinking, creativity,experience etc

Computers can do calculation faster than human or process information faster (according to rules/programs given by human)...doesn't mean they are intelligent.

Even concept of AI in games are nothing..just set of rules given by programmer that is executed randomly by characters in game and we call falsely call it AI in game...

Electronic processor can never have artificial intelligence. May be in future some form of biological electronic system will be develop that may have what we call artificial intelligence but not the things that we call computers now....

Answer 7

I think that one day in the far off distant this could be possible, but I don't think it will happen any time durning our life time, or our great grand kids life time. With the though of thinking for itself you need the four scenes which we have already accomplished with (Smell, Touch, Taste, Hear) but for them to detect them to uses all the senses together. For example: We can detect sweet and sour, but we can detect it without the other sense, we know that it's sweet, but we don't know what the item is, only that it's sweet. Also what taste sweet to me might taste sour to others. That's were computers fail.

Answer 8

It's a cinch that it should be taken out of the hands of humanity, but the computer has no soul. As we move through time, our willingness to trade our souls for whatever might make the supercomputer a better choice.

Answer 9

I believe they can do it too =)
Just have to figure out all the kinks, like will the AI see humanity as a lost cause and the quickest way would be to start fresh...
Or something similar =P

Answer 10

religious implications of arising a device that ought to think of as properly as a human? the comparable with the aid of fact the religious implications of arising a device that ought to run as rapid a human, or swim as rapid or fly as extreme (or greater) then a human - hey! there's a device that would fly greater than a human. So what? Our understanding is placed in our soul. So is our capacity to reason and function emotions. We proportion those characteristics and abilities with many animals on earth. That has no religious implications the two. If a scientist discovered a thank you to impart a SPIRIT right into a device or any non-human, then that ought to have religious implications. we are made in clone of God. 3 areas. physique. Soul. Spirit. Animals have 2 of those areas. physique. Soul. (sure, animals can think of and sense thoughts) vegetation merely have a stay physique. do no longer understand why, yet people who study the bible in spanish haven't any situation distinguishing the adaptation between soul and spirit. I see this situation (making use of soul and spirit interchangeably) generally with people who merely communicate english. Edit: @ teran it would recommend previous doubt that our intelligence had a actual foundation, for this reason no soul had to describe it. i did no longer say we wanted a soul to describe intelligence. Ours happens to stay in our soul. The device you communicate of might have intelligence dwelling in a working laptop or pc. So? there's a distinction nevertheless, our soul has the possibility to stay after the actual demise of our bodies, in our spirit. Animals have not got spirits, neither do vegetation (or desktops). for that reason, animals, vegetation and desktops can not stay in heaven as quickly as they die. the pc ought to have criminal household initiatives for it is strikes (those sorts of regulations may well be needed as quickly as those machines are formed), even if it would haven't any religious (eternal) household initiatives except you grew to grow to be a god and ought to impart a spirit into your device. God holds eternal creatures spiritually in charge for our strikes. no longer temporal creatures or machines.
