Developing artificial intelligence puts an end to humankind

In an interview with the BBC, genius physics professor Stephen Hawking warned of the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to the survival of our humanity. He thinks that while the early successes of AI have given us much hope for it, however, he is afraid that if one day, we will create a generation of AI that can be equal or smarter. human beings and at the end of human existence.

Professor Hawking suffered from a motor neuron disease associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which left him completely paralyzed and unable to speak like a normal person. Instead, he had to communicate with a speech-assist device and word prediction technology from Swiftkey to help him write. These are the basic forms of AI. When the reporter questioned the technology he was using every day, he gave a rather bleak warning about the future of humans and AI.

"Once artificial intelligence has fully developed, it is also the end of human existence. AI will choose its own way, it will redesign itself in the direction of becoming more and more complete. "Meanwhile, humans are limited by slow evolution, humans cannot fight AI and will soon be overtaken by them."

In addition to the warning of the development of AI, Professor Hawking also shared his vision of the benefits and dangers of the internet. He said that network companies need to make more efforts to combat cyber threats, security threats but at the same time ensure that users do not lose their freedom and personal security.

Not only Stephen Hawking but Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motor have also repeatedly expressed concerns about the development of AI. Although Elon is known for many ideas "on the moon" but when it comes to AI, he thinks that "we are summoning the devil" and it will betray humans like in the movie Terminator.

However, a number of other ideas are still hopeful about the enormous potential of AI in the future. Rollo Carpenter, founder of the Cleverbot website (a web application that uses AI algorithms to talk to people) said: "We have the ability to control the development of AI for a long time and It still has the potential to solve the world's legitimate problems in the future.

Elon Musk expressed concern about artificial intelligence
In an interview last week at the 100-year Aerospace and Astronautics conference organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Elon Musk, executive director of Tesla Motors, expressed the warning about The threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to humans. When asked about the subject, he said: "I think we should be very careful about AI. If we can guess about the threat of survival to humans, I think it is AI."

Musk added: "I increasingly think that we lack the necessary regulations and oversight, perhaps at the national and international level. This is to ensure we don't do something. foolish in the future.With AI, we have summoned a devil.You know the story of the devil with the 5-pointed star (considered as a symbol of satan) and holy water. could not control that demon ".

Elon Musk - Director of Tesla Motors

Elon Musk, a 43-year-old billionaire, a genius inventor, who co-founded the Tesla Motors Corporation in hopes of making cars smarter and faster. Musk is known for a host of other daring ideas from the era like reshaping space travel with the SpaceX project or SolarCity. However, this is not the first time he has expressed concern about the risk of humans being unable to control AI. In an interview with CNBC in June, he publicized his concern about AI's rapid progress and fear that someday it would betray humans like it was in the movie Terminator.

"I don't think anyone can see how fast AI has improved. Especially if machines can evolve to the point where they can learn and perfect themselves," Musk said. And then it adds some functionality that is detrimental to humankind and ultimately a very bad effect, if machines can find the best way to identify and eliminate spam. Who knows, it will also find a way to eliminate people? ".

The brain gene makes people
 
International experts have discovered a gene that could help explain why humans have surpassed other primates in evolution.

Man created by nature bestowed unique "gift" in evolution

According to a press release from the University of Edinburgh (Scotland), it seems that the miR-941 gene plays a key role in the development of the human brain.

Further research on this gene may reveal the reason behind the ability of humans to learn how to use tools and languages.

According to the Bioscience Technology website, humans are the first and only primate to own the miR-941 gene. Experts have also demonstrated the specific function of the gene for the human body.

The gene miR-941 is particularly active in two brain areas that control decision-making and language formation.

Martin Taylor said that thanks to that, people always develop social skills and technology at all times.
