Artificial Intelligence Driven Technological Singularity

David Wood, Chair at London Futurists, Principal @ Delta Wisdom, and a Pioneer of the Smart Phone Industry based in the UK participates in Risk Roundup to discuss, Artificial Intelligence-driven Technological Singularity. Towards Artificial Intelligence-Driven Technological Singularity The technological singularity seems to be on our doorsteps. With the increasing power of computers (both hardware and software), artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technologies, we are getting closer to building a machine that will undoubtedly be more intelligent than us. So, if superhuman intelligence were to be developed tomorrow, through artificial intelligence (or any other technological means) and technological singularity is inevitable, it would certainly give humans and human intelligence greater problem-solving potential than any technology revolution has given us so far. Furthermore, the development of artificial superintelligence (ASI) will most certainly trigger tremendous technological growth, resulting in endless transformative changes to the human ecosystem in cyberspace, geospace, space, and the spaces we don’t even know yet. From where we are today (in terms of technological advances), it is important to understand and evaluate when would human intelligence be surpassed by artificial intelligence. What happens to human intelligence and the human race at that point? And would not creating artificial superintelligence mean creating another species with intelligence that may or may not have human interest at heart. Amidst the so many unknowns in front of us, how can we keep up with artificial superintelligence? Since artificial intelligence brings us both promise and perils, we need to make a conscious effort to address the complex challenges of the disruption that is about to occur. So, as we evaluate the potential of artificial intelligence (A.I) becoming self-improving, autonomous, and leading to the singularity—it is important to evaluate where the impact of limitless machine intelligence is taking humanity and what are its potential risk and rewards and how to manage this transition. This Risk Roundup discussion is not to make predictions but rather to understand and evaluate the security risks facing humanity. Whether technological singularity is near or far, likely or impossible, the very idea to create intelligence superior to us raises critical security risk questions for the future of humanity, forcing us to individually and collectively think seriously about what we want as a species. Time is now to discuss security risks emerging from Artificial Intelligence-driven Technological Singularity!
