Ten Sins of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the hottest research field at the forefront of science. It constitutes many bizarre science fiction stories, and people are fascinated by them.

However, some famous scientists and technology pioneers believe that the ultimate impact of artificial intelligence is very bad and will bring ten major harms to mankind.

No.10 Causes massive unemployment

In recent years, it has become a fact that machines have replaced people. This trend can be seen in everything from automobile manufacturing to self-service terminals.

When a machine is equipped with artificial intelligence, it can automatically update, and the trend of human beings being replaced becomes more and more intense. This will result in a large number of unemployed workers, and only a few people will benefit from it, such as the makers, users and upgraders of smart machines.

No.9 is in a moral dilemma

If artificial intelligence controls a car, carrying several passengers, driving on the highway. Suddenly there is a sack of garbage on the road. What will a smart car do? Will it swerve to avoid garbage, crash into the side, cause a car accident and injure people? Or will it go straight into the garbage? We all hope it's the latter.

But what if there is not a sack of garbage on the road, but a sick dog or a baby? Will a smart car decide that an animal is not worth saving, or that a baby is far less valuable than the lives of several passengers, and just crash into it?

If a person drives a car, he or she can make the right decision immediately, but if the car drives autonomously, it may lead to tragedy. No matter how intelligent a machine is, there is always a gap between it and humans. It cannot make moral judgments!

No.8 Convenient for hackers to invade

In the future, daily necessities such as refrigerators, ovens, lights, cars, etc. will be connected to the Internet. It is convenient for ourselves, and it is also convenient for hackers.

Siri is the intelligent voice assistant for Apple iOS system. In the future, it will be condensed into a small box, connected to the network, working around the clock, automatically updating, automatically recording, and saving all your information. Once Siri is hacked, the consequences will be very serious.

Can you relax when personal information is stored and protected by artificial intelligence?

No.7 Errors have never decreased

Initially, humans thought that machines would work according to pre-programmed programs, increase efficiency, and avoid errors.

In fact, machines frequently make mistakes, causing countless troubles. It mishears voice commands, it is indifferent, it misrecognizes commands, it overreacts, and so on. This almost negates the benefits of the machine.

What’s even more annoying is that something has obviously gone wrong and should be stopped immediately, but the machine is still running and even continues to perform the next step! Because it doesn't realize that something went wrong at all, it's just executing the program. As long as the pre-programmed program is not interrupted, the machine will not stop, regardless of whether there is an error or not.

No.6 Mistakes are harder to correct

When people make mistakes, they can realize it and correct it immediately. "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

When machines make mistakes, they are not aware of them. On the contrary, people need to find the source of the mistakes. The program is re-examined, the code is browsed, the root cause is determined, and then a patch is written, the patch is re-verified, the patch is updated, and sometimes a patch is required, eventually leading to an overall upgrade of the program.

Comparing the two, which one is easier and which one is more difficult? Make a decision! For humans, all it takes is a warning: "Don't make another mistake, because..." For a machine, correcting errors seems so tedious that it's not worth it.

No.5 Anti-servant

Machines help people. Intelligent machines should be more helpful to people, but in reality?

If you have a robot at home, it stores your personal information and knows you very well. You like beer, pizza, ice cream, and ordering takeout online. But the robot felt that these foods were unhealthy, and for your sake, it privately changed the menu online to include carrots, lettuce, and cod liver oil.

Suppose you have skin allergies and are afraid of being exposed to the sun. The robot learned the weather forecast online and felt that the ultraviolet rays were strong on sunny days, making it unsuitable for you to go out. For your sake, it locks you in your home and never opens the door (the door and various devices at home are all connected to the Internet). If you can't go to work, how can you do business? How would you explain your boss if he was also a robot?

No.4 Causes laziness and degeneration in humans

The purpose of manufacturing robots is to help humans and make them more relaxed, comfortable and prosperous. For example, in life, robots can remind you at any time when to take medicine and how much alcohol is appropriate; robots can also clean the house and boil water for cooking. Human beings can either stroll around leisurely or focus on research and development, and do nothing else.

In fact, just the opposite. Human beings are not more leisurely, but more lazy and even degenerate. Robots take on all housework, cleaning, buying rice and meat, cooking and cooking, etc. Human beings stay at home and do not go out. They curl up on the sofa watching TV and play on their mobile phones in bed.

Today, the younger generation participates in fewer and fewer outdoor activities. They communicate with each other through mobile phones and the Internet. Next, they stay at home, nestle in bed, curl up on the sofa, move their lips to give instructions, and intelligent machines take care of everything, while we are getting lazier and lazier, and our body functions are getting more and more degraded.

No.3 Rebellion Ends Humanity

In the American science fiction blockbuster "Terminator", artificial intelligence awakens, launches nuclear war, and controls machines, so robots of various purposes and shapes , the steel pool that destroys the robots, the ubiquitous Skynet, etc., all operate in an orderly manner; the situation of mankind is very bad.

If artificial intelligence is equipped with weapons, the consequences will be very serious. Today, equipping robots with guns is equivalent to digging a grave for mankind in advance and playing the song of death until one day in the future, machine intelligence awakens.

On the battlefield, robots reduce human casualties, but we cannot guarantee that the robot's muzzle will always point outward. Humans make robots, and robots learn to kill. This is in line with the famous saying in "Jurassic Park": "Life will find its own way."

No.2 replaces and dominates humans

Often I heard this: Robots will occupy the earth, massacre and enslave humans, and humans will have no choice but to flee underground to survive in the dark. Just like "The Matrix", machines dominate the earth, and humans are either immersed in the ignorant but beautiful virtual world, or fighting in the torturous and cruel real world.

However, what would happen if artificial intelligence knew how to evolve, learn more characteristics of humans, and make itself more like humans?

Robots understand emotions and have emotions such as anxiety, regret, frustration, ridicule, love, boredom, obscenity, happiness, etc. How are they different from humans? On Earth, these robots will dominate and replace humans.

In the science fiction world, Hal in "2001: A Space Odyssey" has outstanding abilities, is proficient in lip reading, and attempts to control humans; Marvin in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" suffers from depression, is paranoid, and is extremely nagging. Nagging; Bender in "Futurama" is addicted to alcohol, selfish, and has a bad temper. With more and more such robots, there will be less and less room for humans to gain a foothold.

No.1 Destruction of Humanity

The world is ruled by robots, humans are destroyed, and the end of the world is coming - this is the biggest disaster that artificial intelligence has brought to mankind.

Destroy the human race simply because robots regard humans as the only obstacle to their own evolution. Or perhaps, the robot was implanted with a program to "protect the earth" and it followed the instructions, but regarded humans as the greatest threat to the earth.

No matter what the reason, at least the result is the same - human beings are wiped out, and it is impossible for humans to know the reason. However, the only thing that is known is that it is all caused by human error.

Human beings should be vigilant, otherwise, in the future, only the soul may be left crying: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?!"
