Some Reflection of Artificial Intelligence

Although I quite approve the development of AI, I also have some worry about the strong AI which might appear in near future, especially when human beings have not exactly comprehend the mind of AI.

Until now, our attitude towards AI is based on our own thinking method. Many artists have created load of works which depict worlds where strong AI with high technology dominate the society, forcing humans as slaves, such as Terminator , The Matrix, even a movie of a famous animation Doraemon in 1993, The platinum maze. However, no matter how smart the AI or robots could be, we humans could always find chances to beat and then destroy them.

As far as I’m concerned, these plots could suggest the arrogance of human beings. In our history, because of the advancement of productivity, our ancestors had abandoned slave society about two thousand years ago. Though the slave trade was resuscitated in America, when our resource and machinery contented the necessary of agriculture, plantations were wiped out. Therefore, why artificial intelligences are expected to use these weak people as slaves? Are human’s works better than mechanical factory even in present society? We can’t beat them even in go-chess!

On the other hand, we often separate we human and AI by emotion, meanwhile, cracking ourselves up due to our ‘distinguish emotion’. In the

latest book of Yuval Noah Harari ‘Homo Deus：A Brief History of Tomorrow’, he comes up with an opinion that life is a sort of algorithm, so perhaps one day, the artificial intelligence could evolve its own emotion, which is likely unable to be understood by human. Why not use their precious emotion to cheat human in order to control the world? Although we could use Asimov three laws to limit robots’ behavior, but they could also choose an amount of countermeasure to exceed our Maginot Line.

More frightening, the sign of it has been gradually emerging. After the failure caused by alpha-go in 2017, our champion Ke Jie said that all of human chess manuals are wrong. Alpha-go subverted people’s tradition in thousands of years, because its experience, calculation ability, and the speed of advancement have stretch far beyond human. In addition, its core thought is completely different from human.

Anyway, Alpha-go is just a weak intelligence, which can do nothing except playing go-chess. But if it becomes a strong one, could we make sure what it is thinking about or what it will do? We can’t conjecture AI’s mind in human’s way, with our arrogance!

There is an eloquent sentence in my favorite sci-fi ‘Three Body’: Weakness and ignorance aren’t the barricade of existence, but arrogance. When facing artificial intelligences, our best attitude towards them is advance with them, instead of ignore their mind. We have
