"I belong to the camp of those who are concerned about the emergence of superintelligence. First, the machine will do us a lot of useful work and will not have a superintelligence. It will be a positive development if we properly manage the process. However, after several decades of AI is strong enough to cause concern. I agree with Elon Musk and others on this subject and I do not understand why some people do not feel the same anxiety ».

In the интервью Backchannel last week, Bill Gates said that it is not trying to slow down technological progress, but just wants to draw attention to two potential problems.

AI begins to perform the work to which people are accustomed ("work that is important to you and gives meaning to life»). Strong AI can evolve into a state of "conflicts with the goals of human systems ». Elon Musk recently allocated $ 10 million to research security systems for AI.
