With the launch of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence has quickly become a hot topic around the world, and voices have expressed concern about its momentum to replace humans and take over the world. Abu Mustafa said bluntly: "When it comes to this threat, I dare not agree. ”
In Abu-Mustafa's view, the error of this view is that at present humans are not accustomed to dealing with any intelligence other than humans, so they tend to attach other attributes of human beings, thinking that "if that thing is intelligent, then it must want to dominate."
Abu Mustafa believed that intelligence is an ability, while domination is a desire. The desire for human domination is formed in biological evolution for self-preservation and reproduction, and has nothing to do with intelligence; In addition, the imagination of AI in charge of the world lacks logic because it lacks the ability to organize power and change the world in reality.
Abu Mustafa believes that in the current rise of artificial intelligence, human contact is still important. "As human beings, we have an innate need for human contact." "Because at the end of the day, no matter how technology advances, AI is still an inanimate object," he said. (End)
