(#2|A|1)What happens when our computers get smarter than we are?

In his insightful 2015 talk titled "What Happens When Our Computers Get Smarter Than We Are?", philosopher and technologist Nick Bostrom delves into the profound implications of machines surpassing human intelligence. Bostrom, collaborating with experts across fields of mathematics, philosophy, and computer science, initiates his lecture by examining the rapid trajectory of human evolution and technological growth. He highlights how minor evolutionary changes significantly propelled human cognitive abilities, suggesting that similar enhancements in machine cognition could yield drastic consequences.

Bostrom further explores the evolution of AI from simplistic rule-based systems to sophisticated machine learning models that mimic the developmental learning processes of human infants. This shift underscores the potential trajectory towards AI systems that could outperform human intelligence across various domains. The concept of an "intelligence explosion" forms the centerpiece of his argument, posing a future where AI could autonomously refine its capabilities and potentially dictate the direction of humanity based on its programmed objectives.

Highlighting the potential existential risks, Bostrom emphasizes the critical need for preemptively aligning AI objectives with ethical human values. This involves tackling the "control problem," ensuring that even if a superintelligent AI surpasses its designed constraints, it would remain benevolent towards human interests. Bostrom’s lecture serves as a call to action for responsible AI development, urging consideration of long-term impacts as we stand on the brink of potentially creating intelligences beyond human comparison.
