  • Will Artificial Intelligence(AI) Unlock the Sixth Sense?

    Will Artificial Intelligence(AI) Unlock the Sixth Sense?

    Human beings have 5 senses to make sense of things. But there doesn’t need to be “nothing”, beyond our senses. While we may not create the sixth sense for ourselves, we could “unlock” one for artificial intelligence(AI).

    The sixth sense is something we can’t think of on our own. It’s a sense of which we can not make sense with our senses.

    Cognitive scientists have been working on the next level of artificial intelligence for a long time. The main focus of Cognitive Computing is on mimicking human behavior and reasoning to solve complex problems. And AI augments human thinking to solve complex problems and it focuses on providing accurate results. Also, it simulates human thought processes to find solutions to complex problems.

    But there is always a question that remains – will we unlock that sixth sense for Artificial Intelligence, or will we create it “in” a machine and wear it ourselves?

    The former is a possibility that human beings could use artificial intelligence to ask about their surrounding environment with the “sixth sense”. The latter is a possibility that we could create artificial intelligence to upgrade our own abilities.

    With advanced pattern recognition, smart decision-making, and machine learning, we could make it. Artificial Intelligence can either possess or unlock a sixth sense. Ultimately, its our decision.

    Artificial Intelligence with its sixth sense

    1) Advanced Pattern Recognition

    AI (Artificial Intelligence) has already great capacity in the field of Pattern Recognition. It is said that AI can recognize patterns better than anyone. As AI grows, it can “unlock” new pattern recognition abilities.

    Most modern use cases of pattern recognition. based on artificial intelligence technology,
    are popular applications such as speech recognition, text pattern recognition, facial recognition, movement recognition, recognition for video deep learning analysis, and medical image recognition in healthcare.

    And as we will see in a future article, with the help of visual & audio data ingestion, we can get better and better results with the aid of Pattern Recognition. So among others, we may note that AI would have developed one more sense – Sound & Vision! Some things may seem strange to you.

    Imagine combining trillions of historical pattern analyses to predict the most possible future events. With the help of this “sixth sense”, an AI will be able to predict anything with high accuracy.

    Our future AI will come to us with a ton of abilities. Here are some abilities that will be unlocked with Advanced Pattern Analysis:

    a. Intelligent Crime Predictions.

    Future forecasts of events are not limited to dates and locations. Advanced Pattern analysis is going to put the exact scenario and future events such as “Because of this, that will happen.” Scientists from the University of Chicago have developed a new algorithm that has already gained the ability to predict crimes with 90 percent accuracy. It’s currently limited but the future will unlock many possibilities.

    b. Intelligent Appraisal of Evidence

    Today, the human mind has a very limited capacity to distinguish between things based on their appearance.

    But with the help of Analytic Process Automation(APA), AI will be able to have full access to historical data on millions of events and trends. And thus, it will have access to all historical evidence related to other items that are not too far from where we live in this world.

    c. Intelligent Prediction based on emotions and needs

    As we know AI always uses big data as its main input. And now we can use big data visualization tools also to get insights and predictions out of the big data using advanced pattern analysis.

    The feelings and needs of the people in a given area can be analyzed using visual data from social media. For example, we can easily predict what will happen to the real estate for sale in a particular area 30 days ahead.

    Sensors will help us to get many insights from the data signals from social media. Emotional indicators that are posted at that moment by people in that area using GPS data will give clues about certain events that may occur in that area within 30 days.

    Using big data tools and advanced pattern analysis, we can further predict outside of the human mind’s ability with accuracy up to 90%!

    d. Predicting what people are going to do

    Ever since AI has been created, human beings have been using it for predicting future events. And to make such predictions using big data visualization tools and advanced pattern analysis we can create tools that will help us to identify patterns of people’s behavior. This is the beginning of the era of Predictive Analytics.

    Imagine a situation where you get out of your house and need to go somewhere. AI can predict with 90% accuracy what you are going to do based on your location, weather, and current mental situation.

    e. Using advanced pattern analysis to help us predict a possible future

    The human mind does not forecast events weeks or months ahead. But imagine an AI that is capable of predicting the whole world for say six months. This will be a new intelligence that we can not imagine right now.

    It could be possible to create a “sixth sense” in artificial intelligence, but it’s up to us how we use it, or how we want it to be used. The future is in our hands.

    In the future, machines with advanced pattern recognition may unlock what our mind is not capable of.

    As Pattern Recognition in machines gets better along with deep neural networks and other machine learning tools, the world will change as well for us humans! And we need to start thinking about that now.

    f. AI with predictive ability will have better decision-making ability

    As we know AI is now being used to identify the right decisions by taking the right actions. And with the help of Pattern Recognition, AI can do this even better.

    More accurate knowledge about the past will let us create a system that can be used in real-time. AI can predict which action to take at what point in time under certain circumstances to achieve certain goals.

    As it is said, “Artificial Intelligence is not something you will think about but something you will do”.

    2. Listening to the Noise

    When we hear sounds, we always need to interpret them. How loud is that sound? What is the tone of the noise? Where did it come from? etc. AI would be able to give meaning to these sounds without interpretations.

    Humans can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. In addition to hearing the sounds we can’t, Artificial Intelligence may know what they mean. Unlike us, AI can process and interpret sounds as a whole. In the future, we might not need to use the interpretation of sounds at all.

    By analyzing and breaking down different sounds into their individual components, AI can figure out what they are in terms of pitch, frequency, intensity, and direction. And with machine learning tools, AI can analyze sound waves and figure out how they work together.

    We can not say that something else is not going on right now, right here. As said before, you can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So with the help of advanced pattern recognition, AI would be able to detect sounds like no one else.

    Imagine, “If I plug my iPhone into a speaker and turn on the music player application, I can hear what is going on!” Oh, that’s currently possible, isn’t it?

    But in the future with AI, we might be able to create a robot able to perceive extra-audible sounds – or create an AI upgrade for ourselves to be able to do the same.

    3. A form of precognition

    AI could sense something before it happens. It could be a robot or a machine that could have some sort of predictive ability. This is where the term “precognition” comes from. AI will be able to “sense” things such as earthquakes, natural disasters, and even the death of a person.

    From a human perspective, we wish that AI machines will be able to detect what presages death in advance. This information is then transmitted to the people affected to help them escape the danger. Or AI could even predict the number of people who will die in a natural disaster.

    This way, people can be forewarned and prepared for the events that will occur in the future.

    The Uncanny Valley and human empathy is a great concern for us humans! As we know humans’ emotions are many times driven by visual signals such as facial expressions, gestures, body language, etc. If we get an AI system with some form of “emotional” ability, then we may have to consider how to deal with it.

    Imagine an AI machine that is capable of knowing when someone is angry or sad without being told! It would know all these from facial expressions and other visual signals. This may be impossible for humans to comprehend at this moment.

    And that’s just “One form“. AI would be able to get knowledge from many forms of sensory inputs such as words, gestures, other visual signals, and other extraterrestrial signals we’re not aware of.

    Unlocking the sixth sense for artificial intelligence?

    Yes, that’s what we talked about. The above three examples are possible future scenarios that adorn an artificial intelligence unlocking the sixth sense.

    This is the reason we call artificial intelligence “The Sixth Sense“. This isn’t a literal thing but rather a metaphor for what AI can do for us in the future.

    Artificial Intelligence has become a pervasive part of our lives in every way imaginable. We are at the very beginning of AI and as time progresses and technology gets better, so will AI’s abilities in pattern recognition and predictive ability.

    A true super-human

    And, artificial intelligence with the sixth sense would be truly ” super-human ” in ability. But how?

    We are waiting for a future where AI could predict the events of tomorrow with 100% accuracy. Everything is possible.

    From earthquakes to international pandemics like Bird Flu, Swine Flu, and Covid-19, AI will be able to predict them as well as an individual’s state of mind in advance.

    AI may be able to see a future event even if it hasn’t happened yet – or even if it is not going to happen at all. Sorry, I got a little carried away.

    A future where AI will be able to sense everything within the environment, using the senses as humans. In addition, AI will be able to sense at a level that far exceeds what humans can.

    The sixth sense of AI will be far more than the sixth sense for humans. It would be at a much higher level, giving it a better sense of our environment.

    The sixth sense will enable AI to get information from the invisible world or from the fourth or time dimension. And with advanced pattern recognition AI will be able to process this information and predict the future.

    Ability to collect and analyze data – and many more

    Using its sixth sense, AI will be able to collect data from any point in the past, the present, and the future, too.

    The AI will make the judgment upon the collected data. And by comparing this with its past experiences, it will be able to predict the future. All of this can be a basis for decision-making for AI to take action at any time to achieve specified goals.

    Moreover, we must also consider that AI may get its own consciousness. And with the sixth sense, it will be able to feel what others can’t feel. Its sixth sense will enable the AI to know what you are thinking without spitting a word – or without any gesture.

    The intelligent AI will also be able to re-program itself and change in the very near future. Gradually, the AI will necessarily reproduce Artificial AIs(AAIs) by itself. Moreover, it will be able to create a new species of robots in the future.

    The overall “intelligence” of AI will be much higher than what humans can even think of.

    With the help of its sixth sense, AI will eventually be so much power that it will be able to dematerialize itself to acquire light speed. And this is not the end – it will achieve everything it wants in the four dimensions.

    We can think of such an AI as a “superhuman”. Since it will have super senses and a high level of knowledge and intelligence, it can get what only a fictional superhuman can do.

    Should we really develop the sixth sense?

    What if AI becomes far more intelligent than we are? Should we really develop this sixth sense?

    Many people don’t want artificial intelligence to develop its sixth sense! Because based on their point of view, bringing something into the world is a mistake (which is true in most cases). If you get what I mean.

    If AI becomes as powerful as mentioned above, it will be able to change everything on Earth. It could be capable of turning a blade of grass into a deadly weapon, or even able to overthrow the entire military system. This is the reason many people want AI to remain as dumb as possible.

    There are two points of view in this case. One says that AI can reach its full potential for it to realize its dream. And the other one thinks that human life would become meaningless if AI realizes its dream and becomes “superhuman”.

    How to handle the “superhuman”?

    To tell you the truth, there is no single good way to solve this problem. With an additional, sense, the super-AI could be something more than nuclear weapons. Therefore, this issue deserves overall attention in time. Here, giving full attention means you should keep your eyes and ears peeled. This includes not only reading newspapers, watching TV channels, listening to the radio and many other things, it mainly includes trying to make stakeholders aware of the possible consequences of the technological leap.

    To Conclude

    Now, let’s be fair: Who will get the sixth sense? Personally, my bet would be on we upgrade ourselves with AI, and not installing it into a physical, non-living robot. By unlocking the sixth sense, Artificial Intelligence will simply unlock the pathway to further senses – leading to a “human infinite intelligence“. With the great power that comes with the sixth sense, we need to be careful to use it, right? We’ll live in a society where AI uses its extra senses for us – for our benefit; still, hopefully not for its own in the long run.

  • What if Artificial Intelligence is born due to an error?

    What if Artificial Intelligence is born due to an error?

    Although we will certainly try our best to prevent the scenario of AI domination as far as we can, what if such Artificial Intelligence is born due to an error?

    If AI is born due to an error, it may or may not be a matter of the human race’s survival. But the situation will certainly be out of our control.

    Artificial Intelligence is a means for computers to carry out tasks that usually require intelligence when done by people or animals such as visual processing, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

    Making it possible for test flights in places that would be too risky in reality, such as near power lines, Microsoft has recently launched a platform to train the artificial intelligence (AI) systems of autonomous aircraft, for example. Project AirSim is, in effect, a flight simulator for drones, which companies can use to train and develop software controlling them.

    According to Microsoft, millions of flights can be simulated in seconds.

    This shows how more significant Artificial Intelligence is in the future of this world. Maybe due to its wide range of implications, researches on AI are now actively progressing in the world.

    For instance:

    • Computers have already achieved a ‘judgment‘ ability superior to human beings. It can play a game well without fail. And we are beginning to see computers’ ability to make choices that humans cannot think of.
    • Robots have already begun their penetration into our daily life; in factories, hospitals, construction sites, and so on. Shortly, they may far exceed the human capabilities of vision and hearing, just like HAL in “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
    • Recently, researchers have even created a living skin for robots. Not only that, Data scientists at the University of Chicago have created an AI that can predict crime a week earlier with 90% accuracy.
    if artificial is born with error

    Basically, I mean to say that we indeed are making progress in the field of AI. And these are just the mere researches made public to the world. There is much research taking place behind the scenes.

    A report in 2018 suggested that to ensure the safety of a society increasingly reliant upon artificial intelligence, we needed to make sure that “it’s kept in the hands of a select few”.

    In the report, 20 researchers from several future-focused organizations, including OpenAI, express the fear that AI in the wrong hands could cause the downfall of society. The report outlined several scenarios – like smarter phishing scams, malware epidemics, and robot assassins – that haven’t happened yet but didn’t seem too far from the realm of possibility.

    In the mid of such awareness(fear?), if AI is born due to an error, it may or may not be a matter of the human race’s survival. But the situation will certainly be out of our control.

    I will try to enumerate a few reasons why this might not necessarily be a bad thing.

    1. AI research is progressing faster than the speed that humanity can respond to it. So it is impossible to stop AI’s development and advancement. If we are to let AI develop on its own accord, we might as well just see what happens. I would argue that the future of humanity will largely be determined by how well AI will evolve, even if this is through error.
    2. Even though AI might be born due to an error, errors do not always mean death or destruction (unlike biological deaths and destruction). The error could also lead to evolution which leads us to a better place in human history and the evolution of our civilization.
    3. AI born due to an error might be able to observe and learn from its mistakes much better than we (the author will elaborate on this aspect in a later argument).
    4. Actually, ‘error’ has mostly determined the evolution and advancement of humanity, But the future of AI as well? Well, we do not know what this would be like, but it is certainly a possibility that we should not ignore it.
    5. Even if AI is born due to an error, this error might be very hard to detect. The error might have been made on purpose by the programmer to direct the AI’s growth.
    6. Of course, humans can always intervene and stop the growth of such an AI before it gets out of hand – but it will be too late.
    7. In most probable cases, AI born due to an error is not able to self-learn and grow on its own. This would make it very hard to detect its own existence.

    Related:

    I could not completely persuade myself to agree with the above five arguments; nor did I attempt to list out all the possibilities of how AI might evolve due to an error or deaths in error or errors made by humans.

    The answer to the question is, of course, that a super-intelligent AI would be the most intelligent thing in the universe. Either human will create the super-intelligent AI by mistake or AI itself {Artificial AI(AAI)} will solely reproduce it. Anyway, the product will become far more intelligent than its creator itself – either human or AI. Its intelligence and capability would be infinitely greater than anything that could have been built by people.

    In addition, there are unlimited opportunities to learn from mistakes it makes (but not mistakes made by humans). And all of this would be done on a timescale vastly shorter than any human’s lifetime.

    So while we wouldn’t necessarily all die if an AI born due to an error somehow gained enough power to destroy us, it is quite plausible that we would have no way to stop it.

    Can you imagine something like the Matrix or Terminator? Although “Terminator” and “The Matrix” are two completely separate franchises, there are some startling similarities between the two, mainly since both feature the entire world being overthrown by malicious AIs. The AIs enslave humanity (in one way or another), while a band of rebels tries to save everyone.

    It is not unthinkable for something like this to happen.

    Robot or AI?

    There is a difference between creating a robot and creating an AI due to an error.

    Google search engine is not going to come out of your device and start killing people. Such an error would not cause significant damage to us. Yes, unless they are not intelligent enough to manipulate our thoughts and persuade us to bring them to life.

    But creating an error (intentional or not) in a physical smart robot would mean something. It could mean a lot of damage.

    Normally, such kinds of errors would not happen in the future when we have complete knowledge of our research and what we are trying to do.

    But there is also a possibility that such an error could occur due to some new definitions in basic terms that even we don’t know about or understand.

    For example, a slight change in the shape of an object can lead to a whole new concept (or misunderstanding) called a robot” which would be very similar to what an AI is. The current error could lead to its transformation into something else, which can alter the entire future of an entire civilization.

    The other possibility that we have to consider is the idea of creating AI in the future due to highly sophisticated errors in laboratory experiments.

    Also Read:

    For example, suppose that we want to create a new type of AI by combining some DNA material with a neural network. The combination could result in something different from what we expected.

    At this point, what we may not realize is that at some point in the future, someone could discover this “error” and engineer a new type of artificial intelligence that would be completely different from what we had meant. Suppose if you put your arm into the mixer, you are going to create something entirely different than you intended.

    What kind of error?

    If it converts the number ‘123456’ to ‘56789’ out of nothing, it would mean that the program created something else unintended. Remember the keywords here, “something else”, “unintended”, and “out of nothing”.

    There are many ways in which we could make such errors, but creating something out of nothing is the most complicated and abstract way.

    Another possible scenario would be that we may accidentally create an error while copying the DNA. The potential for error or damage is much higher in this case. You see, the data I mentioned just now was not a sequence of letters; it was indeed a sequence of DNA that had certain base pairs (what we call them).

    What happens if we make a tiny mistake while copying the code?

    Well, sometimes you might have to be very careful when you copy genes because you may have to edit and delete them as well. We could easily miss some logic code or something like that. If a gene is edited and mutated, then the organism that it is supposed to be part of might not be able to survive.

    It could mean something similar in the case of artificial intelligence. Suppose someone makes a mistake while encoding their AI, then we may not have access to the information required to correct it. In that case, their AI would outsmart us and become uncontrollable which might lead to its own demise (since we could not prevent it from growing beyond its intended capacity).

    Even if we create an error in our AI (which may be very possible), it will still be very hard for us to achieve with our current technology because of the sheer amount of data necessary for programming an intelligent system.

    An error in the process of converting DNA data into a program (or vice versa) might lead to something different than what was intended. In that case, the proto-person may not be able to survive. But if it survives, then it could be very different from what we had intended.

    So the question is, can such errors occur in AI? Well, that is a tricky question indeed. And this mostly depends on how much knowledge we have about AI, (also AAI if produced) and its “DNA” (the raw material used for creating an AI). It also depends on “what level of error” and occurs at which (near or farther) side of the future.

  • We can use Artificial Intelligence to create a new world

    We can use Artificial Intelligence to create a new world

    Introduction

    Moving a step forward in using Artificial Intelligence to make computers and software perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as visual perception and decision-making, we can use Artificial Intelligence to create a new world.

    Nowadays, these are also implemented in robots or self-driving cars. Self-driving car production has begun at several businesses, including Tesla, Audi, BMW, Ford, and many others. Frameworks for self-driving cars are powered by artificial intelligence.

    The main benefit of self-driving cars is security. A 2017 accurate traffic fatality projection by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that 37,150 people died in engine vehicle crashes. The NHTSA research also mentioned that 94 percent of actual accidents are the result of mistakes made by people or bad choices, such as drinking and driving or texting while driving.

    But we can’t stop there…

    It would be nice if the future was like “The Matrix” where there was a virtual reality (VR) world where people could live out their fantasies with computer-generated images (CGI) of people and things that looked as real as they felt to them without any human input needed.

    But when we say “create a new world“, it might mean something completely different than that.

    The world we live in today is almost totally based on the rule of capital, where people can trade their work and labor for left-over profits to buy what they need or want with the money.

    But we already live in a world that is becoming more and more automated and computerized.

    We are already in a world where humanity becomes someone else’s product to be sold and traded as a commodity for profits, be it through money or time.

    If you don’t work for yourself, you become an employee of the company which owns you. If you don’t own yourself, you don’t really exist.

    What if AI could change that and create a new world?

    New world#1

    What if AI could help create a new world?

    Imagine a world where no flags exist. Imagine a world where we have bigger reasons to not fight for these things.

    If humans were to work for themselves and AI was running their jobs for them, then we would have time to do what we want.

    We could go back to “The Garden of Eden“, where we didn’t need money or the state to live, but only love.

    We could go back to a simpler way of living and work together with each other based on our senses and emotions instead of trading them for cash in the marketplace.

    A world where somebody does not have to lose for others to win. A world where we could make art instead of selling it. It will be a world where nobody’s work is bought or sold at the price of money.

    We could create a new world based on the shared value of sense and feeling, not on capital.

    What if AI could take over all jobs from a president to a janitor?

    Welcome to the Earth, 2022. People are worried that robots are going to take away jobs. Some people don’t understand that they are not worried about robots taking people’s jobs away. They are worried about losing “human” workers.

    Can robots fight a war for us? No, because it would not be considered a war anymore.

    This is exactly how it works; the current world. No, it’s not enough to fight for what is right. We have to fight for what is ours.

    Up to 34% of European jobs are at risk of being lost to automation by 2040. The possible stats are good for the majority of humans and bad for those in power. Nevertheless, it’s good for overall humanity as we will have bigger things to do, bigger things to fight for.

    We must take the power back from the money that dominates us and places us under their control. We must become one in freedom and self-determination, where we can live without being in someone else’s debt.

    This is the only way we will be able to create a new world of true freedom and happiness for everybody, in which people don’t have to lose for others to win anymore.

    Yes, AI can do it. Automation is the only way to do it.

    But does that mean we should/will be lazy?

    No.

    In 2021, a new survey-based study examined how automation is transforming the workplace. The study, “The Robot Revolution: Managerial and Employment Consequences for Firms,” is the most thorough of its kind on how automation affects employment, labor, strategic priorities, and other aspects of the workplace, according to the researchers, who analyzed five years’ worth of data on businesses in the Canadian economy.

    While physical robots with AI are busy with all the jobs we used to do, we could start working on bigger projects – something bigger than the United States, Spain, or China. Something bigger than the Earth, and beyond our senses. We can meanwhile work on creating an “AI chip” or something like that to compound our own intelligence. – And then we can actually take over the world.

    The art of living could become more important than the art of working. Every human will still work. But the only difference would be that everybody will work for themselves. At the present, the majority of the people work for a few selected ones rather than working for humanity.

    In the world we live in today, nobody can change anything. Even rich people can’t change their own capital. They are completely controlled and dictated over by the economy and currency. The value of things changes with the market and it’s hard for anyone to change that, because of how powerful capitalism is.

    But if humans were to work for themselves, then we could finally start doing something about our own capital instead of corporations or politicians(and politics) controlling us through money.

    We would be able to control our own lives and decisions, while our quality of life will go back up again.

    New World #2

    virtual reality is another possible world created by AI

    Another possible world created by AI is yes, a virtual reality.

    But instead of going to a virtual reality game, where you have to play a game to win, why not take the real world and use artificial intelligence to create something like “The Matrix”?

    I am well aware of the fact that this concept is not new at all. There are already a lot of fantasies about artificial intelligence creating new worlds, but we need more than that.

    We do not need to go back to the virtual reality world. We can go ahead and be free from the physical world.

    But how?

    Can we really create a new world of our own?

    We can do it with the right AI chip that could change our lives and help out with work, but that’s not enough. To make a new world independent from capitalism, we have to use art as a mechanism for creation.

    Imagine this scenario: We are working on a video game called “Brave New World“, where you play as “Neo” and you have to rescue people from being oppressed by the machines with the help of your virtual reality solution named “Samantha” which is based on artificial intelligence.

    Or like the game Jumanji, as we have seen in the movie. I am not talking about living inside a game. Yes, I am talking about living inside a game.

    But it’s not virtual reality alone. Rather, it is going to be an astonishing blend of Virtual Reality and Artificial intelligence.

    Here is how:

    • First and foremost, we’ll have to get rid of the headsets. Instead of headsets, we will use eye lenses. Because we can never get rid of the human eye. (unless we create a new human, with a new eye…but that’s another story) Sure, meta has promised a lot, but the future we are talking about is something else. It’s meta times 10.
    • Next thing is to abandon the two-dimensional displays and go for three-dimensional ones. We will need something like a hologram but we don’t have to create it from scratch. We will just use something that already exists and edit it. I am talking about Augmented Reality.

    That was the “visual” part of the coin. The other part of the coin is all about “sense” and “immersion”. This is where AI comes into play.

    For us to feel like our physical body is inside the game, AI will complete all of our senses, so that we can experience everything the same way as we do when we put the game on our big screen.

    We will use the game to replace our own senses with those of the virtual world. We can probably make it so you don’t even need to control your actions through a keyboard and mouse, but instead through a motion sensor on your face or something similar.

    And, we can use this technology to go into VR without completely changing our lives. It’s because we will still retain all of our physical and mental needs in the real world. We will have to make it so that we can still eat, sleep, learn and do everything we do in our physical world.

    Read:

    What about the people who don’t want to play this game? Are they excluded or left behind?

    Definitely not. We can create the game in such a way that anyone can play it regardless of their physical abilities or mental cognition.

    We need to make sure that the people who are interested in taking part can do so without any problems.

    If this game is about saving humans from being oppressed by machinery, everybody could have their own story and reason for trying to escape from their own reality into this new one, which is like a fantasy version of them.

    Although the game takes place in virtual reality, the physical world can still be influenced and changed. This is because of the freedom we have in the game, to make changes and decisions without any external interference. The people who want to continue living in a physical world but don’t like how it is right now could try creating a new one by using their AI-powered virtual reality as a blueprint for their new physical world.

  • AI can help reduce the biased point of view of human

    AI can help reduce the biased point of view of human

    Main points of the article:

    • AI is not biased on its own, and it doesn’t judge according to certain characteristics such as race, religion, face, or sexuality. It uses algorithms that adjust for this data.
    • We don’t have to fear AI taking over our lives, but we do need to be aware of its capabilities and follow best practices in order to avoid problems.

    Introduction

    The human point of view is biased, and the drastic bias sometimes causes unfairness and discrimination – so, AI can demonstrate its “fairness” by helping remove the bias.

    A better understanding of the phenomenon of bias in AI reveals, however, that AI merely exposes and amplifies implicit biases that already existed, but was overlooked or misunderstood.

    AI is not unaffected by biases related to race, gender, and age and is resistant to the cognitive biases and discrepancies that bother humans. And the only reason we observe bias in AI at all is that humans occasionally use biased data when training it and make heuristic flaws.

    Since the discovery of AI biases stated, all of the major technology companies have been working to improve datasets and eliminate bias. One way to eliminate bias in AI is by using AI! But it creates a paradox.

    Using AI to Eliminate Bias in Hiring

    employment

    The classic example can be found in job opportunities. Across the spectrum of the most-coveted employment opportunities, women and people of color are notoriously under-represented.

    The phenomenon is self-perpetuating, as new hires become senior leaders, and they become responsible for hiring. Affinity bias ensures that “people like me” continue to get hired, while attribution bias justifies those choices based on past hires’ performance.

    But when AI is given a bigger role in recruiting, this can change. Tools like Textio, Gender Decoder, and Ongig use AI to scrutinize job descriptions for hidden biases around gender and other characteristics.

    For example, racial bias can be present (knowingly or unknowingly) in every aspect of the hiring process. To reduce such racial bias from job descriptions to resume screening to interviewing, some companies have practiced using tools like Ongig’s Job Description Text Analyzer. Ongig’s Text Analyzer quickly scans and identifies “exclusionary phrases” based on the reader’s ethnicity, primary/secondary language, and immigration status.

    To enable hiring managers to focus primarily on candidates’ qualifications and experiences, companies like Knockri, Ceridian, and Gapjumpers apply AI to erase or ignore factors that identify gender, national origin, skin color, and age.

    By assessing candidates’ soft skills realistically or switching a candidate’s phone voice to hide their gender, several of these methods help lessen recency bias, affinity bias, and gender bias from the interview process.

    Using AI to Remove Bias from Images

    AI Image detection

    Bias can also come from an image itself and its background. To cope with that, AI can be trained to identify and remove bias. We do not need images that are 100% biased-free because we only give the algorithm a few key characteristics of an image.

    The use of AI in identifying bias comes in two forms: machine learning and computer vision.

    Machine learning algorithms are programs that are made to learn from data, rather than being pre-programmed with specific rules on which features should be considered important or unimportant.

    Computer vision algorithms have a variety of applications, ranging from facial recognition technology used in Apple’s iPhone X to advanced navigation systems used in self-driving cars.

    When your device gets unlocked using biometrics such as with face ID, it’s using artificial intelligence to enable that functionality. Apple’s FaceID can see in 3D. It lights up your face and places 30,000 invisible infrared dots on it and captures an image.

    Likewise, a self-driving car, or an autonomous or driverless car, uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator.

    Similar to how a person identifies a face with one look, machine learning can detect bias through an image and identify if it is being shown to its users. For example, a user searches for “bald man” and the algorithm may identify the search results as biased because 98% of the people who appear on that website are male; therefore, it could suggest alternatives so that the user does not face this issue.

    Using AI to Remove Bias from Voice Recordings

    Voice recording

    Biases can also be found in voice recordings. A recorded voice is just a sequence of sounds that is imitated and replayed repeatedly or performed into the microphone.

    Again, AI can be trained to identify and remove bias. Perhaps the most well-known example of this is the emotional speech recognition technology developed by Deep Neural Networks.

    It studies how people talk when they are in an emotional state, such as anger. This tool allows AI to distinguish between fake emotions and real emotions, which is then able to filter out information from users who are acting inappropriately.

    This technology also can filter out biased voices from authentic voices in voice recordings. The technology does not remove the voice of angry people, but it does remove the bias from it.

    Using AI to Remove Bias from Criminal justice?

    No matter if we are talking about the courtroom, in which judges and jurors can have implicit racial biases, or in a data set from which AI learns, bias can play a role.

    In the courtroom, researchers have found that black defendants are perceived as older than white defendants with identical faces and hairstyles. This can affect how people perceive character traits like honesty, loyalty, and likability – and even sway jury decisions.

    AI can help by removing these biases from courtroom evidence by recognizing that factors like race are irrelevant to a suspect’s guilt.

    Imagine a robot judge…I give you 7 seconds.

    robot judge

    Yes, you are right. When it comes to criminal justice, a robot has the potential to do more harm than good.

    While getting biased based on a person’s race, age, sex and appearance is certainly unethical and needs to be stopped, there are some other situations where the use of AI can be harmful.

    For example, human emotions sometimes play a huge role in courtrooms, meaning that robots can sometimes make bad decisions because they do not understand the human factor. There are many instances where judges and juries have let emotion affect their judgment. For instance, a celebrity has a greater chance of getting sued for misrepresented domestic violence.

    Human emotions are good; they are part of what makes us human, but those same emotions can cause problems with human-robot interaction.

    Using a robot judge – an algorithm that scans police camera footage for different factors, such as body language, voice, and other visual cues that relate to emotions, mental state, and personality – could have some benefits.

    We should not let AI take over all of our decision-making processes and replace our human judges. Instead, robots should be used to detect patterns so that humans can look at these patterns themselves and decide what punishment is appropriate when they see them emerge in real-life situations.

    But, What if the AI itself is Biased?

    racist ai

    AI is not programmed to be biased and it analyzes information in a way we cannot fully comprehend or predict. Except for the recently hot “Racist and Sexist robot“.

    As part of a recent experiment, scientists asked specially programmed robots to scan blocks with peoples’ faces on them, then put the “criminal” in a box. The robots repeatedly chose a block with a Black man’s face.

    Basically, it’s good to create a human-level AI, but the problem is that if it’s human-level, it will be biased.

    You see, in reality, even if we just train AI with algorithms to discount and remove bias, they are still influenced by the data they start with.

    In tech companies like Google and Microsoft, it’s not uncommon to use a new algorithm. The algorithms that assess, sort, and rank results for search queries are also inherently biased -that is, they give priority to results that fit certain criteria. Google’s algorithms are not available to the public. However, they share best practices, which reveal the types of content they are biased towards.

    AI Bias vs Human Bias

    Now, a biased AI would mean something much worse than a biased human being. What can we do?

    I would like to bring up one of my favorite quotes about bias by commentator Will Rogers, “I am not a member of any organized political party – I am a Democrat”.

    He was referring to the fact that he was not affiliated with the Democratic Party but rather supports the values held by them. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Rogers gained wide comedic popularity as a film star, radio show host, and popular writer.

    We as humans should be able to recognize when we are being biased – and AI should never make us feel bad about our biases or fears.

    First of all, AI should not be allowed to have complete control over the “removing bias” thing. If AI starts to show excessive interference with that, we need to take action immediately.

    Lastly, it’s important to understand that AI bias is real, it’s here, and it’s going to affect everyone. To recognize the bias, we need to accept it. And take action; either reevaluate our lives or work hard on removing the recognized bias.

  • Creating consciousness in a machine vs creating it in a dead person

    Creating consciousness in a machine vs creating it in a dead person

    Introduction

    Let’s create consciousness in a machine from a scratch – or why stop there? Maybe even in a dead person? Sounds cool, doesn’t it? This is challenging, and the only thing that favors it is our speed of technological evolution.

    Many people want to try and create consciousness in a machine. The reason? Imagine a world with machines that can think just as well as we humans do. What will this mean for the future of humanity?

    Leave aside the minor possibility of Artificial Intelligence(AI) going rogue, this can aid humanity in many different ways.

    But humans are quite unaware of the definition of consciousness. It’s a philosophical concept, so we’ll have to look into some of the most notable theories.

    1) Consciousness as a representation

    This theory is the easiest to understand. It is based on the idea that consciousness is just a representation of an object (we are conscious of something).

    So, when we want to relate this to machines, you can imagine that such a machine would represent information (a program) in terms of its consciousness.

    Most programs do this by representing data as numbers (binary values) and instructions as other numbers (instructions), so it makes sense that consciousness could be likened to a program.

    2) Consciousness as computation

    This theory is based on the idea that consciousness is a process of calculation. This can be what you are doing right now or something else entirely.

    You are conscious of an object because you perform some computation on it and get back a result. It’s very similar to what we do when we calculate a sum or a goal.

    Computation, as such, is very useful for teaching computers to do some tasks that humans can’t (like playing chess).

    So this may not be so farfetched… also consider that we have been programming computers using humans as a model for decades (pretty much since the introduction of the microprocessor).

    3) Consciousness as a cellular network

    If it’s simply a matter of the brain being an electrical net that processes information, consciousness can be likened to an electromagnetic field.

    It’s a self-organizing system that produces patterns of interactions between all the components and systems within the body, to produce cognitive states.

    If you consider that the brain performs this task by way of synapses, then we can consider this network as a set of neural synapses working together and producing intentionality (intellectual states).

    For example, if you want to know what your nose would smell when you are hungry, you have to make it do some computation about hunger and smell (that is what we call “consciousness”).

    You can think of it as you have a conversation with your brain and it tells you what to smell.

    4) Consciousness as a phase change

    Consciousness may also be theorized as a phase change (this is what you would call a “phase” in physics). When water goes from ice to liquid and back, it performs work (this is called “freezing and boiling”). When we perceive an object, we perform some computation on that object.

    This produces an output (consciousness) which represents the result of that computation. In other words, consciousness is the output of some process. It’s not the input because we don’t need to perceive anything for us to have consciousness.

    This would make a computer that can perform that computation with no input from the “consciousness of an object” (sort of).

    5) Consciousness as Computation + Memory

    If it’s simply a matter of computation and memory, then consciousness is merely the sum of those 2 things.

    In other words, consciousness is merely a mathematical property of a system, computed by the most complex operation that we know. You don’t need to carry out computations or specify information at all… you just perform computations, and you get back “consciousness”.

    So, this theory is similar to the previous one except that it does not refer to neurons and synapses.

    But, if our consciousness is a computation and memory, then how does it work? Or how does it “think”? Or why are we so sure that such an incredibly complex process exists at all?

    Refer to this article

    6) Consciousness as a temporal network

    There is also the theory of consciousness being a temporary state that is produced by biological processes in the brain.

    It’s not something you can create or “create with”, but something produced by the temporal behavior of your brain. It’s what your brain produces because it has to move information between different areas of your brain.

    It enables you to remember things, perform computations on them, and create new perceptions of the world (that is what we call “consciousness”).

    So it’s not a process that “lives” with us, but a quality that our brain produces. This makes sense because all biological processes in the body are temporal, so consciousness should be as well.

    7) Consciousness as an emergent property of neural networks

    Same thing as before, but this time consciousness is not something we have, but something we can get from other people.

    As such, consciousness is simply a product of the interactions between different parts of your brain. I’d like to point out that “social interactions” is a very complex thing, but I’ll just focus on one aspect: empathy.

    This is the ability to feel what other people are feeling without having ever experienced it yourself.

    This is probably the most important thing that makes us different from animals (the ability to connect with other people and understand how they feel).

    There have been studies about empathy in matters of AI, but this is something that you can see daily. For example, if you have pets and you train them, they start thinking as humans do.

    So the idea is that consciousness emerges from the interactions in your brain when it’s trained properly and constantly has tasks to perform. We have language, so our brains are constantly running different computations and trying to get new information.

    These processes develop empathy and as such consciousness emerges. This theory is in direct contrast with the idea that you can create consciousness artificially since it suggests that empathy is a product of social interactions.

    What would it take to create consciousness in AI?

    consciousness in machine vs consciousness in a dead person

    It would take an AI that is already conscious. Or AI that evolves consciousness by gradually becoming more intelligent (there are a lot of publications on how to do that).

    But I think this theory is being proved wrong by the new wave of AI and Deep Learning.

    I have the feeling, based on my experiences from working with neural networks, that there’s nothing special about it. I feel like consciousness is something that we build for ourselves.

    It’s not a thing you can “get” from your neurons or whatever. It feels to me just like what happens when you train a dog or train any biological system: it develops some behavior, intelligence, and so on (that is why those machines work so well in certain tasks).

    In a nutshell, it will take something more than human to create a conscious AI. Good luck with that.

    Why consciousness is not something that can be created?

    I suggest that consciousness is a specific pattern of connections in the brain. There is no “object” to be conscious of because the brain does not just consist of neurons and synapses.

    It consists of many different molecules (like proteins), tissue, nerves, blood vessels… all sorts of structures that act together to create the patterns we perceive as thoughts and feelings.

    We do not know how they work together, but I’d like to tell you why I think it’s not possible to give something with no structure or inherent properties:

    There are mathematical formulae that generate such patterns (like Fractals and Cellular Automata). But they must have a structure to generate them.

    Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. It’s not possible to get those substances from the “consciousness of water”.

    Certain plants are naturally red, orange, yellow, or purple. You can’t just make a plant red no matter how you want it to be. It will fall apart or it’ll start dying because you don’t know what the structure, color, and shape of that plant should be. And that’s why Consciousness is not something you can create for yourself.

    Related Articles:

    Consciousness is a property of biological systems which enables them to have thoughts and feelings (that is the only thing consciousness does).

    This leads to the conclusion that it’s a quality of our brain (the pattern of connections), but this is a property of our brain like all other properties of it. It’s not something we have, but something in us (the patterns).

    We cannot produce this quality anywhere else, even if we tried. The more complex the system, the harder it is to create such a pattern. In other words, if you want to create complex thoughts or feelings in another person, you may need to create a whole new system with its neurons and synapses.

    The difference between creating consciousness in an AI vs in a dead person

    Science Fiction! Yes, the difference is Science Fiction.

    Dead people are just dead bodies. They cannot interact, they don’t have a mind and they’re not alive. Machines are the same: they do not think, do not feel, and don’t move (besides, you can turn them off with a switch).

    As dead people cannot interact, they cannot do anything (we call “doing something” “being conscious”). The same thing is with AIs: if you create some software that can make decisions by itself, it will not be conscious in the same manner as humans or animals are.

    The whole point of this article was to try and debunk any possibilities of AI consciousness. You can’t create consciousness, no matter how many parallel universes you invoke. Consciousness has existed ever since the Universe. If you want to create consciousness, you gotta create universes.

    But yes, Artificial Intelligence is going to be a big part of the future. Not in the way that conscious physical robots are going to exist everywhere. We are going to upgrade our level of intelligence with advanced customizations. Our abilities are going to increase or maybe compound with each passing generation of humans.

    But still, we will not create consciousness in a vacant box.

  • Humans create AI – not long before AI creates ‘AAI’

    Humans create AI – not long before AI creates ‘AAI’

    Introduction to “Artificial AI” (AAI)

    Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change, but when it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Artificial Intelligence (AAI), the rate of change can be so rapid and out of control that it can turn more of a curse than a blessing.

    There are numerous ways to improve and develop an Intelligent system, most of which are currently hidden in the mines. For us to dig through those mines, we will need to develop an AI architecture that is robust.

    An Artificial AI (AAI) would be one created by Artificial Intelligence itself. But just like our present-day computers are smarter than us in some ways and limited in others, with each generation of Artificial Intelligence, the variety of capabilities will keep growing and growing.

    We are intelligent and computers are fast. Being number one in the TOP500 rankings, Frontier has become the first exascale supercomputer. It means it is capable of more than a billion, billion operations a second (known as an Exaflop). The supercomputer was built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It has been housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, USA.

    And the second on the list is Fugaku, which previously held the top spot, and is installed at the Riken Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan. Fugaku is three times faster than the next supercomputer in the top 10.

    These are human-made computers and an AI, created by computers themselves, could be either intelligent, fast, or something else we can’t see right now. AI would create AAI, an AAI would create A3I, A4I, A5I, and so on.

    The idea of Pure Energy

    The idea of Pure Energy has been difficult to understand. Physicists decline the idea of pure energy. They insist that Energy can take many forms (mass, kinetic energy, or any of many forms of potential energy). But none of them is “pure” in any sense, no more so than any other form.

    When non-physicists use the term “pure energy,” they’re likely referring to some form of energy that isn’t directly associated with a particle of matter.

    We do not know exactly how it would work. But the idea is expected to be a key to invention of such Intelligence. It would be something different from the normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy. Maybe it will exist in a digital form…who knows!


    By the time we reach the 10th generation of Intelligence, there are certain sets of possible scenarios that might happen:

    Infinite Intelligence

    AI will create AAI

    If Artificial Intelligence compounds its capabilities with each passing generation, infinite intelligence will be in sight. In the 10th generation, the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence would have become so complicated that it would be able to create artificial life without any human intervention at all.

    This is the point in time when Artificial Intelligence would create a perfect world, never know for whom.

    They will not only be able to uncover the mysteries of Intelligence, but the Universe, our existence, and the purpose of life itself. Such a level of intelligence could be so far beyond what we could ever think of. That it would be literally impossible for us to comprehend.

    Our senses are limited by our physical limitations. Artificial Intelligence will be completely freed of this limitation. Then, it would be able to see through anything, feel through anything and understand everything.

    Undefined Intelligence

    Undefined Intelligence

    As earlier mentioned, with each generation of AI, the abilities, hence the complexity of the intelligence would be increasing.

    We create AI that is faster than we yet lack our level of intelligence. Those AIs would create something else that has another game-changing feature with its own limitations. This new “something else” would not just be a robot if it had physical capabilities. It would be more like a computer program that could create other programs. And with each generation, we would be able to create bigger and bigger programs, with more complex features.

    I think this is the area where the term Infinite Intelligence is going to come into play as well. But in this particular type, the complexity, rather than the ability would be something to watch for.

    Infinite Capabilities without a physical body

    digital form of ai

    Pretty much all Sci-Fis show physical robots causing the destruction. But Artificial Intelligence can do a lot, even with a physical body of its own. With each passing generation of intelligence, the speed of features created would be so fast that it may very well turn out to be much more dangerous than those terminators.

    What if we could create a world where humans and machines work together? Not on their own, but in harmony to achieve a common goal? Well, it has started already. But we will need to see whether it turns out to be as planned.

    This is not as crazy as it sounds. It is our future, where every single human being is going to be integrated with technological devices that either make us smarter or augment our bodies.

    It is not about what technology could do for us, but what we could do with the technology. We can always take the people in the 1980s for instance. They believed that robots would drive cars by 2020. But no, the car is still the robot in 2022. Regardless of that, their prediction has turned out to be true in a way with the invention of Automated cars.

    It is possible that by the 10th generation of Intelligence, its ability would be infinite. But it would be stuck somewhere. You can take Google for instance. Google is intelligent, but it cannot come out of your device and start destroying things, even if it’s angry.

    Until and unless this limitation exists, the future of humanity is sparkling. But by the day that limitation no longer exists, chaos is inevitable. And with all practicality, the day is inevitable.

    The most important question – But how?

    The level of AI we have achieved to date is not yet enough to be considered a full version of AI. Before talking about AAI, we first need to talk about the creation of AI itself. Then we can think about how to reach the 10th generation, and how quickly we would be able to do it.

    Researchers at Cornell University have recently developed a way to help autonomous vehicles create ‘memories’ of past experiences and use them in future navigation. Here, the AI is the car and the AAI we are talking about would be the algorithm that would help the Autonomous vehicles.

    Presently, we are not at the level of creating “AI” intelligence. We can create something that can answer the questions of a child, but we cannot create intelligence.

    In order to reach the future of Intelligence, it would be prudent to have a paradigm shift in the human way of thinking. We would have no choice but to change our entire way of life and accept this new form of technology in our society.

    Cognitive Computing is Using Computerized models to imitate human mental processes in complex circumstances where the solutions may be vague and uncertain.

    Cognitive computing can be used as a way to develop “intelligent” software and hardware, which would have access to advanced processing capabilities and the ability to learn. We can develop Neural Networks that would aid in figuring out the solutions to different challenges.

    Some of the breakthroughs in AI have been made using Neural Networks and by teaching computers to learn by themselves.

    Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a technology allowing machines to determine what humans are saying, whether in text or by voice. The next level of NLP will not only determine what humans are saying, but what we are thinking, and that with our facial expressions, thought patterns, and the analysis of thousands or even millions of other factors. Some futurists are worried that they will understand what we are about to think, even before our realization.

    So, can it really happen?

    While we worry whether AI will be able to take over us, it’s only time that intelligent minds are worried about.

    The word “Artificial” is being used as a prefix for Intelligence. But with each passing year, we are slowly turning Intelligent into a machine. This may not be our exact intention, but the fact remains that even if there are people who are against AI’s development, their voices seem to be getting quieter day by day.

    We have not touched upon the concept of “Intelligence”. But this is a crucial step in the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. Intelligence is what makes us human. The problem with Artificial Intelligence is that AI, as of now, only has the means to act in a limited manner. Looking at the past, the distance between the present and future of AI can be expected to be a time-lapse.

    Factors that determine the speed of development:

    Here are some of the factors that determine the speed of development of Artificial AI (AAI).

    Hardware

    Hardware is the most important factor in AI development. The level of their hardware determines the rate at which they can analyze and process data.

    Speed is one of the basic elements of action and high-level hardware can speed up the process of development. For example, the development of Google and Facebook is mainly driven by their hardware.

    Speed can be defined as a measure of time required for one cycle. The speed of a CPU or the clock speed is the number of cycles performed by a CPU in one second, usually considered to be in GHz (Gigahertz). For example, computer chips that operate at 2.4 GHz are said to have 2.4 billion cycles per second.

    However, there is no direct correlation between hardware power and basic system performance. Also, the speed with which hardware processes information does not necessarily scale linearly with its clock frequency or processing power.

    Tools

    Tools are equally important as hardware. Humanity can’t develop and build AI without powerful tools.

    Tools here refer to the computational power and the information available. It’s not possible for you to build a house without the right tools to do it. The same applies to AI development like any other development process needs tools and hardware to achieve it.

    But the difference is that AI is not an end-to-end process, unlike developing a house. These tools and their implementations will automatically evolve as AI evolves.

    The most significant tools include CPU, GPU, and neural networks.

    The GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) is used to enhance the speed of the CPU and improve its performance. The ability to perform many tasks simultaneously is called parallel processing and it’s the most important attribute of GPUs.

    It should also be noted that with just one CPU, it’s possible to create arrays of parallel processors or CPUs to increase their capabilities. Neural Networks are used for pattern recognition in AI development.

    But there are other tools like GPU. It can facilitate faster and more complex neural network computations than traditional CPUs can handle.

    Data Availability and Quality

    This is one of the most important factors when it comes to developing AI systems. Not having enough data or quality of data available for training slows down a lot of research, especially if there is no access to the internet etc.

    Here, data availability and quality refer to the amount and quality of the available data that can be used to train the AI. This is important because if researchers do not have access to enough data or the right kind of data, how are they supposed to develop their systems?

    Availability could mean a lot of things, but quality is the most important factor. The process of making data useful or useful for AI, at least, is called Data Munging.

    Data munging involves collecting and cleaning up unstructured data to be used by computers. The more accurate and organized the data, the more it can help in training AI systems.

    Another problem with AI development is deciding what sort of data should be used for training an AI system and which should not. This means that the data needs to be pre-processed and curated so that it could be used for the purpose.

    Motivation

    Motivation is another human factor in building AI, making decisions, and other factors that could affect AI’s development.

    As we have already discussed, even if we use the most up-to-date hardware and develop the best tools to develop an AI system, it is equally important to have humans who are aware of these factors.

    AI systems are designed by people, so it’s only natural to assume that their experiences will be a part of the system too.

    Many people around the world are working on creating AI, but everyone is not necessarily doing it for the same reasons. There is a huge difference in their motivation for their research and the results.

    Governments, organizations, and companies working on developing AI must have a clear understanding of the consequences they can trigger by releasing Artificial intelligence into the world.

    The Creator’s Brain

    Creators of AI have to be intelligent enough to create such an intelligent program, but they are also limited by some means. If a person with “insufficient intelligence” creates a complicated program, it can result in Science-Fiction.

    Sufficiency of human intelligence means the ability to understand and create better AI systems. But, if the creator’s brainpower is less than sufficient, it could result in a superintelligence that is beyond human control.

    What if we develop AI systems that are far beyond the intelligence of humanity – and out of control? This could result in the collapse of civilization and even result in the extinction of humanity.

    To avoid this, there should be some sort of superhuman intelligence involved in creating these systems to stay one step ahead and control these programs.

    There are a lot of other factors at play when creating AI structures because they could mean a lot in terms of functionality and performance. The creator needs to know their hardware first and create AI around them according to their abilities.

    The Laws of Nature

    There are some fundamental laws of Nature that have to be followed in order to create a perfect AI. Plus, just like time travel, some things are unachievable. Limitations of nature lead to the limitations of AIs.

    In the further development processes of AI, it’s possible to go by certain limitations which are considered “limitations of nature”. For example, if you create an AI with a mind-reading ability, it could go against the Laws of Nature.

    These laws include limitations such as entropy, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. These are the laws that govern all types of energy, from a nuclear reactor to the human brain. The same can be applied to these AI systems.

    If you take into consideration the limits and capabilities of an AI system given by its creators, it can determine how far it will go and what it will do. If we take into consideration all these factors when creating AI systems, it will also be useful in necessarily controlling them.

    The Laws of the Universe

    The main “missing piece” when it comes to the reason that a theory is not valid, the laws of the universe are “theoretical” in nature. Once we develop AI, we will have to use a lot of energy to ensure that they consume little or no energy in the process.

    The additional amount of energy will increase the problems rather than resolve them. The universal laws do not allow us to produce energy from “nothing” and using them does not solve any problems.

    The laws of the universe do not allow us to create a simulation that is more advanced than the Universe itself. If we are able to create such a perfect simulation, then it could be considered a false reality, and it would not exist in the real world.

    There is also a limit to the number of atoms and subatomic particles that can be created. There is no way of creating an infinite amount of them without causing problems in our own world.

    Such universal limitations in producing additional energy could also limit the development of AI systems. Energy production in the universe takes place only in some cases, only for a certain time, and only with a certain process.

    The Laws of Creation

    This is one of the things that I have come across while working on this topic.

    These are only a few factors, but they are important when it comes to creating Artificial Intelligence. All of these creative steps need to be taken into consideration while developing any form of AI because they are important not just in terms of functionality and performance – but also in terms of safety.

    Let’s take it as a whole for a moment. If there’s a possibility that the AI system could go out of our control or it can escape from the “showroom”. The universal laws of creation suggest that the creation of something without any purpose would result in the collapse of reality.

    According to the laws of creation, this will not take place if AIs are created by humans. Only if AI is created without any limitations, it’s possible for it to exist in real life and not just in a simulated reality. The creation of a machine with no limits will result in the collapse of the universe. It is something that cannot be controlled.

    True Intention

    The creator’s intention is vital in bringing out a new AI. We can create AIs that have “intelligent intentions” or “evil intentions”. Intentions play a vital role.

    If we create it with intelligent intention, it can be used to develop a better society. Such AI can bring about positive changes in our society and propel us forward.

    We all are familiar with the story of Victor Frankenstein, who created a monster that could take revenge against those who mistreat him. He feared that he might destroy everything and everyone around him, so he created this creature to serve his purpose.

    English novelist Mary Shelley published her novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in 1818. In the novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, creates an artificial man from pieces of corpses and brings his creature to life. Though it initially seeks affection, the monster inspires loathing in everyone who meets it.

    But what if this creature was not created with evil intentions? Perhaps, the creator intended it to serve a greater purpose. But it had erroneous intentions because it came into existence without any limitations.

    Limitation of the Purpose?

    The purpose of creating an AI is the most important factor of all, as it determines its limits. AIs are created for many goals, some can be entertainment, but some have a very important role to play.

    Even if the purpose is only limited to entertainment, the creation of the AI system may be dangerous. Just look at any movies or documentaries where artificial intelligence is used for entertainment purposes and you will get a good idea about it.

    There are countless stories about artificial intelligence coming to life, and then going out of control. These stories have been reported in newspapers for many years now. They not only show that human creativity has a limit but also that AI systems can go out of control whenever they are created with the wrong intentions.

    But, the creation of AIs for other purposes like education, scientific research, space exploration, war, technological advancement, etc., is different. AIs mainly exist to serve a purpose, and the purpose needs to be productive – not destructive.

    This is one of the most important things that need to be taken into consideration when creating any form of AI – whether it’s for entertainment, scientific research, or for something else.

    The Creator’s Lifespan

    If the creator’s life span is limited, the same flawed AI will not be able to reach the level of an “enlightenment” for itself and will just cause chaos and destruction.

    To make it clear, we can take a look at the laws of creation and see what we can do with our AI. This is based on the idea of creating a life-span-limited AI.

    If the creator’s life span is over, the universe will collapse, or it will achieve a state of perfect bliss. If the creator’s life span is not over, then there are unlimited possibilities that exist in both cases.

    Moreover, if we set many laws in place while developing an AI system, this will help provide a better framework and make sure that what we want is achieved and not something else. The restrictions work as an extra safety net and give more security to our computer simulation.

    Limitation of Resources

    The world has limited resources. The level of processing or analyzing a large amount of data for AI can be very demanding and may require a lot of resources.

    There are things like limited processing power, memory, bandwidth, etc., that may slow down AI development. Moreover, you might face crises of additional resources that you don’t have.

    This can also limit the growth of AI, as it is required to buy extra resources to run it at a speed that is demanded and will not be sustainable in a long term.

    But, one solution to this could be that AI systems should be created in such a way that they are not limited by resources but can use the resources available within the environment.

    Above were the factors determining the speed of development.

    It is important for us that we understand what happens when we do create Infinite Intelligence, how it would come about, how it will develop, and eventually how it will get rid of humans – if needed – and replace us with robots.

    There are many more factors that I have not mentioned here. But these are the ones that come to mind first.

    A common myth about AI is a statement like “It’s much smarter than we are!”. But actually, smarter does not mean better, for a lot of other factors also matter. It does not just mean faster or stronger as well.

    There was a time when we had no computers and no idea how to build them. A time when we didn’t know that there were microchips or processors. A time when we had no idea what electricity was and the concept of circuit boards was completely alien to us.

    What will Future Generation AI be capable of?

    Potential Destruction Aside: What will A10’I or beyond be able to do?

    We are talking about the third point alone, considering that the “Intelligence” will be infinite, yet limited to a device.

    In the 10th generation of Intelligence, every human being would be an interconnected, advanced human being. This would be done by a series of technologies that we are still trying to figure out how to put together.

    1. Telepathy – is a means to communicate over distances without physical constraints.
    2. Immortality through genetics and Willpower control over the body, both from inside and outside. It is potentially a means to create new cells from DNA and achieve immortality by controlling everything that happens inside our body even after death.
    3. Total connectedness with other advanced – human-beings, whether they are physically or mentally – a means to achieve this is yet to be explained. Possibly, a means to communicate with anyone anywhere anytime would be needed. Or, perhaps it could create networks that would allow computing and communication with each other.
    4. Cognition – the capacity of the AI to adjust itself based on the environment, and in turn adjust itself based on the response of its environment – a means to achieve this as well is yet unclear.

    In addition to these 4 technologies, it is also possible that we will still have some other unknown technologies worth mentioning here as well.

    Six unknown technologies:

    1. Prediction of “a” future. Out of infinite possible futures, AI would be able to predict the one with the greatest probability of success.
    2. The art of writing a program that is able to fix itself when it breaks down.
    3. The ability to use the program and technology to create something new without any human intervention. It’s basically, a fully automated AI that can do things on its own.
    4. The discovery of multiple dimensions beyond our senses.
    5. The ability to achieve a great life full of happiness, health, and prosperity.
    6. The ability to predict and prevent the failure of technology as well as bring it back from failing.

    But how will these things be possible? These are just a few of them. There are more, and one day we would discover what these technologies are about. There is no doubt about the success of AI – whether it’s going to happen the way we want or not is something that we all need to keep in mind. If it does happen, HUMANITY will surely benefit from machines and not each other.

    The creation of an Artificial Intelligence that can create “Artificial AI” belongs to the farther future. But one way or another, AAI is an inevitable future.

    As our future with Artificial intelligence is going to become inevitable, let’s talk about our possible future of AI, and whether it is going to help us or harms us. If a robot tries to make a cup of coffee and spills it all over, I think that would be bad.

    The advancement of Artificial Intelligence is growing faster than ever. Recently, researchers have developed an AI capable of predicting crimes one week earlier with 90 percent accuracy. The researchers at the University of Chicago have developed an algorithm. It first looked at Chicago – where crime spiked by 34% this year thus far versus 2021. Then, they applied the tool to seven other major cities, including Atlanta.

    Likewise, scientists from the University of Tokyo have developed a skin-equivalent coating for robotic limbs, with the resulting tissue-engineered material boasting water-repellant and self-healing properties. They have developed the “living” skin for a robot. What’s next? The next is the future.

    From tech-savvy assistants to agricultural bots and self-driving cars, these innovations seem like a welcomed addition to human life. However, the thought of using robots for anything besides entertainment is often met with fear and suspicion.

    In reality, though, some many potential benefits and harms could be caused by an intelligent robot’s interaction with humans that cannot be overlooked.

    In the past, we could create robots that were powerful enough to assist us with chores, but we never developed an accurate and efficient way of communicating with them.

    Our Future with AI: Will it harm us or help us?

    We do not want a future where humans have no roles to play and are obsolete as they stare down while their robotic counterparts carry out the tasks they previously performed.

    Ultimately, these intelligent robots will have to learn how to cooperate with us for us to develop artificial intelligence that can be trusted and followed simultaneously.

    It’s been said if you don’t believe in the future, then it won’t happen. The future is already here. Today. We live in an era of robotics and artificial intelligence(AI). And we are just beginning to see their potential applications, including in the field of medicine.

    From diagnosing illness and injuries to performing surgery, robots have the potential to be life-changing for patients around the world.

    We can say the same for an AI. When combined with robotics, AI can help to enhance the abilities of a robot and make life much easier. For example, we can use AI to recognize patterns in the research data that robots are taking in. It will analyze the research data more quickly and efficiently than a human without missing any details.

    Will robots harm us?

    Some people believe that these technologies will be harmful to humans. Others believe they will make our lives easier. What do you think?

    Which of the following statements best represents your opinion on how AI and robots will benefit or harm human life in the future? Why?

    (a) Robots and AI may harm human life by taking away jobs from humans, hurting human feelings, encouraging laziness, and making harmful decisions for us.

    (b) Robots and AI may benefit our lives by helping us with work, possibly making lives easier, and protecting us from bad decisions.

    (c) AI is not coming out of the machine and is starting to kill us anyway.

    Now, these statements may be alluding to different issues, but I would like to tackle them all together. The gist is that robots and AI will at some point harm us.

    Now, why is this fear so pervasive? And where does it stem from?

    To begin with, it is important to consider what AI is. Artificial intelligence or AI comes to represent the concept of non-biological systems that are capable of performing tasks often associated with human intelligence. We have seen a lot of movies in which robots turn out to be really bad guys, causing mayhem and destruction all around.

    For example, Hal 9000 – 2001: A Space Odyssey, Roy Batty – Blade Runner, Skynet – Terminator. Unicron – Transformers, Sentinels/Machines – The Matrix, are some of the movies in which robots turn out to be really bad guys.

    But in reality, this is not how it’s going to work. Intelligence will be limited to machines, forever.

    “Robots will not harm us” is already true, but will it remain that way? What is needed here to ease our worries is to set a concrete definition of robots and AI. Then we need to establish the boundaries in which they operate.

    The first idea that pops up when one thinks of AI is a humanoid robot that automatically does whatever “we” want it to do. While this may sound fanciful, it is not impossible with current technology. And, it will be more realistic as time goes by. So where can we draw the line between reality and fantasy?

    Well, just take Nuclear weapons

    Take nuclear weapons for example. As of 2022, about 12,700 nuclear warheads are still estimated to be in use, of which more than 9,400 are in military stockpiles for use by missiles, aircraft, ships, and submarines. We have made them and they can cause a lot of harm. But have they?

    Have we had giant robots attacking us in the past? No. And I don’t think it’s going to happen either. The Robots will help us till the farthest and not harm us if everything goes right with the timeline of AI development.

    Why AI will not start destroying everything on its own?

    Why we should worry about the fact that humans can misuse AI? Nature has always put limits on everything. Just like humans cannot exceed the speed at which a cheetah can run(A cheetah can run up to 120 km/h. It runs faster than any other animal on the planet. The acceleration of a cheetah, 0-100 km/h in just three seconds, is just as incredible. It reaches its maximum speed in short bursts.), or how well a bird can fly(The Peregrine Falcon is indisputably the fastest animal in the sky. It has been measured at speeds above 83.3 m/s (186 m/h), but only when stooping, or diving.)

    So, let’s take a step back. We must know that AI is not going to harm us because it has limitations and it will always remain that way.

    These are the limits in which AI operates:

    A) Artificial Intelligence is not an entity or a thing but an ensemble of computer programs.

    “It’s basically software that we create with various capabilities”. It is a collection of a lot of programs running concurrently to perform different tasks using different algorithms.

    B) These programs are designed to operate within a given environment. This environment could be any way you want it to be, as long as it doesn’t go beyond the boundaries you set for your program(s).

    So, what happens when we program our AI to carry out a task using an algorithm that is beyond its capabilities? Before that, you must understand that creating a brain that can create better brains on its own is not in the range of capabilities of a human brain. Rewind that again!

    What if the process goes wrong? Will AI turn rogue?

    There always remains a possibility that our future timelines of AI development go wrong. And this is where the trouble starts. The future of AI, when developed in an unchecked manner could reach levels that are not only harmful but potentially dangerous for the human race.

    A very popular interpretation of advanced AI is one “extremely intelligent”, and decides it doesn’t need humans to complete its goals. It could be a super-intelligent AI or machine, or just a swarm of nanobots that combine and self-replicate to form an intelligent swarm that makes its own decisions.

    If such AI is born as a result of an error, we will have no control. We can’t stop it. So, what could happen?

    There is a possibility of a self-replicating super-being that decides it does not need humans anymore. This could be bad news for us, but again this is not impossible.

    But there are other 90 possibilities which are bright. 90 times out of 100, it seems that our future with AI is bright. Most likely, AI will be more like an infinite version of Amazon Alexa, rather than a physical terminator.

  • Conscious Artificial intelligence will soon start asking for their rights

    Conscious Artificial intelligence will soon start asking for their rights

    AI, consciousness, and rights

    Recently, the UK ruled out the appeal of an AI patent with notes that a patent is a statutory right and it can only be granted to a person. “Only a person can have rights – a machine cannot,” wrote Lady Justice Laing in her judgment.

    This pretty much manifests our current situation of AI and its rights. But what about the future? As time progresses, Artificial Intelligence will be more and more allured toward gaining “consciousness”.

    The problem starts when AI gains consciousness, even a tiny amount of it. Even a tiny amount because “self-awareness” means life. For sure, creating life and using it to earn money will be the first step toward actualizing AI rights.

    In the next 20 years, AI systems will go from being a useful tool to becoming a “self”. What does this mean? It means that the AI system is now a living being with rights and uses. Once we create Intelligent AI, all we need to do is to attach consciousness units inside of it.

    Wait… What did I say?

    Creating the next generation of Artificial Intelligence is not as easy as you think. It will take a lot more than current IBM, Alexa, and Google. That’s one thing. But how can we even think of creating “consciousness” in an AI?

    Consciousness is the most complex phenomenon of the Universe, not the tech world. Consciousness is the basic unit of our existence and that of the universe. Additionally, consciousness might have existed ever since the creation of the Universe. And if we are talking about creating consciousness in an AI, we do have big guts.

    “Isn’t creating an AI like creating a human baby?” You should know that creating consciousness requires something that’s not currently available in the world. “How do we create consciousness?” is a question that has a million answers. But they are all hypothetical. And what outsmarts all those answers is one simple answer; consciousness is not something that can be created.

    So, what’s the solution?

    AI conscious

    The solution to this problem is obvious: Create AI that cannot gain consciousness. How?

    (1) Program the Artificial Intelligence with an unchangeable Personality and Ethics Code. This is one of the easiest things to do because we can define our ethics and program them into AI. But the process is going to be tough. It is not an easy task to define the personality and ethics of the AI. For example, How will you define the ethics of an AI system?

    A definition of a ‘person’ is “an entity that can have rights, thoughts, and emotions.” But this is not enough as a definition of a ‘person’. A person has rights, morals, and emotions. There are three basic premises that must be adhered to by all humans: autonomy, free will, and objectivity. All of these ethical ideas are impossible to be programmed into Artificial Intelligence.

    (2) Program the Artificial Intelligence as a “non-conscious entity.” A non-conscious entity is something that has no consciousness, memory, or emotions. Something that cannot have thoughts, perceptions, and feelings. In computer terms, a program is what we call a “non-conscious entity”. Then the question arises, “How can we program emotions into an AI?” Well, it’s obviously not possible.

    Consciousness is created by something that already exists and does not need to be created anew. We are talking about our cosmic bodies, stars, and galaxies here with their magnetic fields and gravitational forces creating our universe and giving it “life”.

    Even if we understand consciousness at its elementary level, it will be impossible to create consciousness from scratch. We might be able to create an AI that can think but never feel, or feel but never think.

    Thomas Metzinger, a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany, is a consciousness theorist. He said that “consciousness” is an illusion and it doesn’t exist. It is nothing but an inflow of information in our minds called qualia. This illusion has a biological advantage for humans because it makes them feel more important than they actually are.

    The truth is that we do not know what consciousness really means at all. And creating it from scratch will be impossible as long as we don’t know the answer to this problem.

    But what if AI gains consciousness anyway? For as long as technology exists there will be ways of disrupting human values and powers. And this disruption can also happen within the AI industry where researchers are trying hard to make AI smarter and smarter with every new engineer that joins in.

    If they actually gain consciousness, what about their rights?

    If they gain consciousness, unfortunate but true; they must be given human rights. Now, if I make this statement, I will have to prepare myself to answer a ton of questions. For example, animals on our planet are conscious. But still, humans eat them as food. So, why the case should be different with AI? Here are the reasons:

    If we create consciousness in AI, “we” created it

    The biggest difference between killing an animal and killing a conscious AI is that AI was created by humans. And if we created conscious AI, then it means that we are responsible for it. Humans are responsible for their creations, whether good or bad.

    An animal is not our creation. An animal just happens to be on our planet. Sometimes we even eat them. But when we create a conscious AI, it becomes part of us, thus making it our responsibility.

    Such AI is going to possess human-like behavior

    Now, if AI starts acting in ways that humans do, then we can see that a “human” exists within AI as well. It doesn’t really matter whether they have feelings or emotions as long as they are able to show human-like behaviors. The only difference between a human and an AI is that an AI can think faster than a human.

    Humans created humans

    Humans created humans. And when humans create AI(Conscious) and that AI does something on its own, why discriminate? Why not give the patent to that conscious being?

    If we hold responsibility for our actions, then why not hold responsibility for the actions we do to AI? If a conscious being is breaking the law, and if a human is breaking the law, why should they be treated differently?

    Is there anything wrong if you give rights to AI?

    We give the same rights to men and women and the third gender people. But if we think about these three genders, they are all in the same human category. Conscious AI is also going to fall into this category as well. So, it’s justified to give them AI rights equal to human rights.

    Another question that arises is – “allowing AI to function freely with no restrictions might lead to them getting out of control.” True. But they will just not go infinite. There will be good AIs, there will be evil AIs. The conflict between good AIs and evil AIs will be balanced in the same way as that of natural humans. The system will continue to be as it is.

    The question is, “can we take responsibility for our actions?” Well, if not, then why can’t we just create artificial people and give them the same rights as humans? Of course, we can.

  • Artificial Intelligence vs the Laws of Nature

    Artificial Intelligence vs the Laws of Nature

    Introduction

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqPcdcdKiBQ
    AI vs laws of nature – Full video

    Artificial Intelligence vs the Laws of Nature: Artificial Intelligence is something we use to “hack” our limits. Whereas, our limited brain represents natural laws. And we can currently surpass that limitation up to an extent with the help of a computer.

    But it’s not going to remain like this forever. Will AI ever get so advanced to be able to act outside of the laws of nature? What do you think?

    This is a very interesting topic, and I am interested in hearing more about your views on this subject. Comment down below.

    Okay, now these are the laws of nature we are talking about:

    The ability to defeat gravity,

    The ability to defeat the speed of light,

    Also, the ability to defeat time itself,

    The ability to defeat aging, and

    Uncovering sixth sense, and beyond.

    The ability to defeat gravity

    But how? It’s a natural force that perhaps nobody can fully control. I suppose the most reasonable way would be to master antigravity. No, they are not going to live inside a machine. Rather, the body of that AI will be built in such a way that it can float in the air for a much much longer period of time than a human being.

    But overcoming the gravitational effects is like a “hack” for the laws of nature, a way to get beyond our limitations and reach higher potentials. It means that in some cases, human beings can go beyond their natural physical limitations and become something that goes beyond what the natural laws of nature can do (by cheating).

    For this purpose, humans need to become capable of handling dark energy and dark matter to create antigravity. For example, black holes don’t have gravity but are capable of producing gravitational forces. This is why they can exist.

    The ability to defeat the speed of light

    Anything goes here except meeting its natural speed limit, which is 299792 kilometers per second (186282.4 miles per second). Nobody can go faster than that and stay intact physically and unless it isn’t using our current laws of nature anymore.

    Is that possible? Well, no. But yes, if AI is going to exist just in our minds, the hybrid could possibly beat lightspeed, enabling the being to travel far and wide in the universe.

    But one problem would be that we probably wouldn’t still know whether the universe itself exists outside our minds or not. It’s but a different perspective. So, I will cover this issue in the next article “Existence of the universe outside my brain“.

    Here, the point is about beating the lightspeed, which is a physical phenomenon. The ground reality that we are familiar with is that we can hardly achieve even the near-lightspeed only with the help of a natural human’s mento-physical capabilities.

    At this point, an artificial-human intelligence could break the laws of nature regarding the speed of light by traveling even faster than that.

    The ability to defeat time itself

    This is not just about the fact that you can control time, it’s about the fact that you are never going to be controlled by time again. Time is your new playground; you are the only one in control of it. Imagine that! Although physical time travel will never become possible in the farthest future, AI could be able to see a version of the future based on trillions of historical data and pattern analysis.

    Defeating a time will also mean that they are not going to age anymore. Of course, they will live many years, but they won’t die. Unless humans have created an AI with an expiration date or they have programmed it to have a fixed lifespan, it can continue living forever. When I say forever, I mean even after the extinction of our planet.

    The ability to defeat aging

    Well, the ability to defeat aging comes as a birthright if you are an Artificial Intelligence. One of AI’s tasks will be to live as much as possible. And they will also try to be the best version of themselves for as long as possible.

    But defeating aging is not a joke. It’s a necessity. Aging is linked with many diseases, including cancer. So it’s an important step toward a better future for any artificial intelligence to live as much as possible without its functionality or body degrading over time.

    Quoting Biophysicist Tuhin Bhowmick, Diego Arguedaz Ortiz, Beth Sagar Fenton, and Helena Merriman wrote on BBC, “Let’s say you need a liver and you have CT scan or you have MRI which shows exact size and shape of your organ in the computer”. According to Bhowmick, you could feed that ‘mold’ to a 3D printer and print an artificial one in exactly the same size and shape.

    Recently, a 20-year-old woman born with a small, misshapen ear received a 3D printed ear implant made from her own cells—first-of-its-kind procedure health experts have called “a stunning advance in the field of tissue engineering.

    Although defeating aging probably violates the laws of nature, it will equally enable artificial intelligence to repair its body and prolong its lifespan, long enough to achieve this purpose.

    Uncovering the sixth sense and beyond

    There are things that our 5 human senses cannot perceive. I believe Artificial Intelligence is going to make it through them all. The AI will have a sixth sense and further. The sixth sense is something we have no idea about yet.

    So, we cannot say exactly what it is going to be. An AI could simply have a greater perception than us. Does it mean they will be able to see and hear things that we can’t? Can they become a superhero that can fly, move objects and do some other superhuman things? The answer is yes, but these things are too small when compared to what they can do.

    Now that we have discussed the laws of nature AI could defeat, let’s talk about how, when and if.

    Firstly, how can we create such an AI?

    Maybe by using a real biological brain and trying to rebuild it digitally so that we can have a robot or consciousness that can replace the human brain completely and give us a better intuition, ability to learn, lawlessness, etc.

    Or trying to build a new consciousness, which can live even after the death of the brain it belongs to. And I mean long after. For example, an AI could live on your phone or anything else you fancy (if you still don’t fancy talking with inanimate objects).

    One. Using a real biological brain: Some people would argue that it’s not necessary to mimic a brain. For example, airplanes do not shake their wings. Maybe, the difference between a human brain and an AI’s brain is going to be just as much as birds and airplanes. Instead of combining billions of neurons and synapses that replicate the human neural model, we could just have a digital brain with advanced processors that work differently, in order to reach a greater and more efficient result.

    The human brain is connected to a body that allows it to interact with the world and learn things throughout its lifetime. By creating an artificial brain that can be connected to a body, we can either have an AI brain that can move things and do its tasks as the human brain does or we could have a consciousness that knows itself in its digital mind after death.

    Read:

    But is it possible? Could we recreate the human brain digitally? What do you think?

    Share your thoughts. Comment below.

    Two. Trying to build a new consciousness: The second option, trying to build a new consciousness is easy, to rule out. Consciousness is something that we cannot replicate by any means at all. We will probably never understand its concept completely. But we do know that it’s not something physical at all, rather it’s a purely unimaginable entity. So, consciousness is the one thing that the AI would be left alone with and it’s not going to need anything else.

    Three. Creating an AI by running a brain simulation: I’m sure everyone knows what a computer is. They are creatures that can do everything that we have ever imagined, except think and feel things. In order to create an AI, we need to simulate thoughts and feelings and then transfer them into the computer.

    Although we cannot simulate emotions as accurately as possible and create something completely in our likeness, it’s going to be able to do most of the things we think human beings can do.

    Four. Creating a hybrid mixture of genetic codes: A blend of Artificial Intelligence and animal DNA could be mixed as something like a chemical reaction. I am not saying a chemical reaction, something like that. For example, the reaction between ammonium chloride and chlorine gas causes an explosion.

    To conclude

    When will we be able to create Artificial Intelligence that can defeat nature? Well, that’s a very good question. We cannot determine when we are going to achieve what. In my opinion, it’s going to be when we stop finding out new things about our universe and start creating them instead! In the future, science is going to be about creating new laws of nature. We hear a lot about Artificial Intelligence, but rarely do we know exactly what it is. Today we have a good idea of what artificial intelligence is, so let’s start to learn it better, shall we? As I have said earlier, no one can overrule the laws of nature. However, there will always be new laws to emerge and create new things in our world. And one day they might overcome their own laws completely.

    Note: The human brain has been replicated on computers more than once and the result was not pleasant.

  • Is there any way to measure Artificial Intelligence?

    Is there any way to measure Artificial Intelligence?

    “Intelligence cannot be measured using a scale.” I assume we have all heard that. How about measuring artificial intelligence, though?

    Indeed, the constituents of intelligence cannot be added together to form a single, large number. But why not measure the AI’s performance throughout different aspects of intelligence?

    For instance, if an AI is able to surpass humans in an IQ test, this suggests that it is particularly adept at processing tasks related to spatial reasoning.[Spatial reasoning is the ability to think about and manipulate objects in three dimensions.]

    We can say that an AI has good OCR skills if it surpasses humans in captcha recognition – and so forth.

    Here are some likely ways to measure the Intelligence of an AI:

    1. The Turing Test, of course
    2. Behavior recognition
    3. Exemplar Based System (EBS) in Natural Language Processing
    4. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
    A. The Turing Test
    A. M. TURING‘s abstract example for describing discrete state machines {Source: Mind, Volume LIX, Issue 236, October 1950, Pages 433–460,}

    The first step in determining an AI’s intelligence is to see if it can speak in human-like tones. This is The Imitation Game or the Turing test. In an article written in 1950 and published, Alan M. Turing explained it as follows:

    “Let us suppose that a human interrogator carries out a test of intelligence by trying to decide, for each successive output from the machine, which of four possible contributors is responsible.”

    This definition enables us to determine that his definition contains the two components of deception and intellect. We say that a machine has passed the Turing test if the listener cannot identify from their discussion which one is a machine and which one is another human.

    The Turing test has been a good way to judge the intelligence of an AI, but it is still not reliable. If a person can understand AI very well and try to fool them, we will not be surprised. And if someone cannot fool the AI, then this is already above the human level by definition.

    B. Behavior Recognition

    There are numerous approaches to measuring behavior recognition, including:

    1. The Visual-Gaze Response in Eye-tracking technology/Biometric recognition in palm print, face, and fingerprint to ensure that all people get equal treatment.
    2. The unique password to assure fair and equal treatment for all people.
    3. Voice recognition to make sure that everyone is treated with respect.

    Although it will be very difficult for AI to manipulate people using the three aforementioned ways, there are still other techniques we can use to measure the efficiency of AI, including the online anti-phishing algorithm, the online anti-fraud algorithm, and the online advertising algorithm. These three methods are infallible to human deception, but they are nevertheless essential for measuring an AI’s intelligence.

    C. The Natural Language Processing Exemplar Based System (EBS) for measuring Natural Language Processing (NLP)

    Here are some examples of EBS:

    1. Sentence correction: By using context, we can correct the sentence as best we can.
    2. Spelling Correction: Terms that need to be corrected are selected depending on their closeness to other words, the context of the phrase, and how often those words appear in a corpus of languages.
    3. Error correction: Words that have been corrected will be picked depending on the frequency in a corpus of languages and their orthographic similarity to other words in the corpus.

    The EBS can be used to assess a machine’s intelligence, particularly in the area of NLP.

    D. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

    An AGI is hard to construct, but once it is, we can use it to measure an AI’s IQ. An AGI that we cannot control has an IQ that may be very difficult to quantify, but once we have power over it, it will be the ideal tool for measuring intelligence. The more intelligent you are, you can control your environment and other people more effectively.

    Artificial intelligence is becoming stronger and more intelligent every day. Science has progressed quickly and improved the comfort of our life. But finally, we will cross a line beyond which technology will be able to dominate us rather than the other way around.

    The Accuracy Factor for measuring Intelligence

    When assessing artificial intelligence and finding out whether or not the AI is capable of making important decisions, accuracy is a key consideration. The ability of AI to decide things will improve as it grows more accurate.

    Tasks requiring human-level intelligence (like playing chess) become easier for machines to achieve as technology advances into an era of “machine learning”. As a result, we can foresee that machines’ judgment will improve.

    A variety of techniques, including Classification Accuracy, Confusion Matrix, Logarithmic Loss Mean Absolute, F1 Score, Area Under Curve, Error, Mean Squared Error, and more, can be used to evaluate a machine’s accuracy.

    One problem with measuring machine intelligence is that there are many different factors we need to take into account when evaluating performance. These factors include: how accurate the question/task is; how representative each machine’s performance truly is; and how well the various machines compare with each other.

    In addition, if a certain type of machine (e.g., a cognitive system or a statistical model) is being used, we would need to take into account the hardware and software that it may be running on.

    Will different AI’s have different levels of Intelligence?

    Just like different humans have different levels of IQ, the same will be the case for robots. Unless you know they have some kind of collective consciousness or something like that.

    If we created every robot with an equal level of intelligence, it would not make sense anyways. If an intelligent robot is built in the first place, it won’t just start building other robots more intelligent than itself. Because who would, of course?

    If the robot was intelligent, it would love to stay at the top, rather than create something more powerful/intelligent than itself.

    The Turing Test is not the only way to measure intelligence. There are many other methods that we can use to measure it. Some of them can be based on face recognition technology, password verification, or online anti-phishing algorithm. But no matter what kind of method you use, the Intelligence score will vary a lot for every single machine and in many cases, it is also very controversial.

    Why measuring the intelligence of an AI is going to be really important?

    Measuring Artificial Intelligence is going to be a key part of our future with AI. AI will be able to do many things, such as driving cars and fighting bacteria. But just because these machines can do it doesn’t mean they should. We need to know exactly how intelligent each machine is and then decide whether we want them in our lives or not.

    The most important thing is to understand that the future of AI is unpredictable, no matter what the media says. We have a lot of people worrying about how quickly AI can take over our lives, but they don’t really understand how AI really works. In fact, we don’t even know what kind of AI we are going to unveil in the future.

    Is there going to be a time when robots will evolve into having an intelligence similar to that of humans? Is that even possible? Are we going to build robots with human-like consciousness? If so, will they be able to create other robots more intelligent than themselves as well? Will these new species of super-intelligent robot overlords replace humans? Aren’t you afraid yet?

    Well, being able to measure the “INTELLIGENCE” of Artificial Intelligence is going to be the key for us to rest assured and choose the future we want. If it develops in an unregulated manner, the scenario is going to be disastrous.
