What is the future of AI in India?
Artificial Intelligence has got a bright and promising future in India. AI has the possibility to add $957 billion or 15\% of the present gross value – to the Indian economy by 2035. AI can provide large incremental value to sectors, for example, energy, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, and agriculture.
Can a robot be self aware?
Another example of a robot that is considered to be self-aware by some is a robot ‘arm’ made by a group from Columbia University. The group created a robot that learns what it is by itself; the robot has no prior knowledge, but after a day of ‘babbling’, the robot creates a self-simulation of itself.
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
The term artificial intelligence, or the simulation of intelligence in computers or machines, was coined back in 1956, only a decade after the creation of the first electronic digital computers. Hope for the field was initially high, but by the 1970s, when early predictions did not pan out, an “AI winter” set in.
Can friendly AI save us from our own creations?
The encounter with Yudkowsky brought Tallinn purpose, sending him on a mission to save us from our own creations. He embarked on a life of travel, giving talks around the world on the threat posed by superintelligence. Mostly, though, he began funding research into methods that might give humanity a way out: so-called friendly AI.
Does Ai have human urges and values?
A common fallacy is assuming that AI has human urges and values. “Friendly” means something much more fundamental: that the machines of tomorrow will not wipe us out in their quest to attain their goals. L ast spring, I joined Tallinn for a meal in the dining hall of Cambridge University’s Jesus College.
What are the X-risks of artificial intelligence?
Existential risks – or X-risks, as Tallinn calls them – are threats to humanity’s survival. In addition to AI, the 20-odd researchers at CSER study climate change, nuclear war and bioweapons. But, to Tallinn, those other disciplines “are really just gateway drugs”.
