Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris
RE: Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris
I'm not saying I would necessarily hurt you if I were that smart. But you'd have good reason to fear me all the same since you wouldn't know my intentions. 

I don't even need the upgrade, lol. Only time and determination. Actually only determination. Time you can manage and possibly even make more of - for yourself. This is within any human's capabilities. And so it would be with an a. G. I. Except that one would run faster... 

As for how we'll get there...  Or whether we ever will. Reading Bostrom's work would've informed you that virtually everyone of your colleagues believes this to be a possibility, from those sampled for a couple of polls at the relevant gatherings. You are a rarity, frankly. Generally, a. I. Researchers only disagree about the time scale, not about whether it will happen. And a significant portion of them believe there's a very good chance it will happen within this century even. 

As for Moore's law.  Why do you say it's about to end? Didn't we mistakenly think that a couple of times in the past already?
