Here is my entry for this written contest:
AI is one of the most controversial topic out there right now. And I have no doubt about the possibilities in terms of what AI can do in any kind of technology.
And coming from a Computer Science background, I know that nothing is impossible in terms of technology. The question how much are you willing to put into it?
The most interesting part of AI is its' impact on human society. I believe if we keep developing AI at some point human will be redundant and out of the equation in no time at all if we take no precaution.
If you ever come across AI trying to escape news. You should have a idea of what could happen. Regardless of how much is true in this news or what message the author wants to deliver to the audience.
So unless we create an AI with a guidance and/or sets of rules, at some point we will lose control. And surely it will have a major impact on human society. Now, what kind of bad impact? I personally not sure but I think being redundant and out of the equation would just be a start.
PS. I might be watching too much Sci-fi movie and conspiracy theories but hey! If decentralization could happen, surely super intelligent AI is just around the corner.
Hi @devytan
Thank you for your amazing comment. It's quite long and informative so I will have to re-read it before bed-time :)
I've heard already about facebook AI developing new language. Scary shit!
To tell you the truth, what gives me energy to spent extra hours in front of laptop are people like you. So supportive and understanding. We're on the same page here and the way I see it is simple: I put tons of hours engaging with people I've found valuable. I want us all to grow together.
Lets face it. Blockchain, crypto, AI - all those technologies will create opportunities we can only dream about. So Im investing in "human capital" and so far it's working Your comments are an excelent proov that it is paying back :)
Take care mate!
Piotr
You are welcome @crypto.piotr! Mine is not the longest entry here :)
Yeah, some people wrote even more than you did :)
I was actually also wondering for quite some time ....
We are witnessing AI growing lately and some projects want to merge this technology with blockchain.
Would AI with it's imaginable processing power be capabable to commit mentioned fraud? Will AI be able to temper with blockchain? That seem to be very possible in the future. Current cryptography level will most likely not be much of a challenge once quantum computer will become reality and AI will develop even futher.
What do you think?
Piotr
I think if the AI is build to have its own freedom which means it is some kind of entity that is free to do whatever it wants. I think tempering with blockchain is quite possible. Although it is said that to temper with blockchain you would need a lot of processing power that its not economic at current time. Who says it will still impossible in the future?
That makes sense I guess. AI creating another AI could be a loop hole. Not sure how you would program that. It's been a while since I looked at codes and my mind just switch into coding mode when I'm writing this reply.
PS. I started using justify text (testing it on this reply first)
Hi @devytan
Just wanted to say "thank you" one more time for supporting my little contest. Engagement has been massive and I didnt expect it to be that big. It's going to be so hard to chose 5 best replies lol.
Just small reminder: Winners will be announced on the 28 April 2018 (saturday)
Yours, Piotr
Okay, I will be waiting for the announcement!
I think that if we create AI that will be limited and with little freedom but they will be able to create their own AI (without those limitation) then we may face real problems.
I hope cryptography will also progress on another level.
Thx for your comment mate
