Having read Nick Bostrum’s “Superintelligence” and Max Tegmark’s “Life 3.0”, I am particularly curious to know whether such sophisticated machine learning methods will allow us to achieve a certain degree of self-determination. As Bostrum and Tegmark point out, the hidden potential of self-regulating high-speed processors endowed with a certain degree of sensitivity is both extraordinary and dangerous. At the same time, using the incredible power of neural networks will have a remarkable impact on our society, on everything from banking to fighting the climate crisis, but this creates an obvious threat of AI bias and turning it into a weapon.
