Tha Stephen Hawking, Stuart Russell, Max Tegmark agus Frank Wilczek air litir fhoillseachadh anns an Independent, a’ toirt iomradh air a’ fiolm ùr, Transcendence, agus a’ gabhail a’ chothruim rabhadh a thoirt dhuinn mu na cunnartan èiginneach an lùib tùr innealta:

One can imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand. Whereas the short-term impact of AI depends on who controls it, the long-term impact depends on whether it can be controlled at all.

So, facing possible futures of incalculable benefits and risks, the experts are surely doing everything possible to ensure the best outcome, right? Wrong. If a superior alien civilisation sent us a message saying, “We’ll arrive in a few decades,” would we just reply, “OK, call us when you get here – we’ll leave the lights on”? Probably not – but this is more or less what is happening with AI. Although we are facing potentially the best or worst thing to happen to humanity in history, little serious research is devoted to these issues […]

A rèir nan lèirmheasan, chan eil Transcendence cho math sin mar fiolm, agus tha sin duilich, oir tha coltas math air an tailer agus bha mi a’ dèanamh fiughair ris, ach tha e inntinneach co-dhiù gun deach blockbuster mar seo a dhèanamh agus gun do nochd an litir aig Hawking et al. anns an Independent, a’ sealltainn gu bheil an deasbad mu thùr innealta a-nis air gluasad a-mach à ficsean-saidheans cruaidh agus às na roinnean coimpiùtaireach anns an oilthighean, agus a-steach dhan raon phobalach.
