Artificial intelligence - hopes and fears
Back in 1950, American mathematician, the founding father of cybernetics and the theory of artificial intelligence Norbert Wiener published the work "Human application of human beings" (in Russian translation - "Cybernetics and Society"), in which he expressed his concerns related to the development of artificial intelligence. Now, in the XXI century, the problem looks even more urgent. Our computer addiction has become total. Entertainment, shopping, work, study – almost everything is concentrated in palm-sized gadgets. Guided by convenience and – what's the sin to conceal? – lazily, we shift some of the boring and boring functions to AI, and often we trust it to make decisions. So far, on the wave of euphoria from the prospects that have opened up, the advantages of artificial intelligence seem undeniable, but won't it turn out that the cute amenities that we have received now, during the "infancy" of artificial intelligence, will turn into major troubles when the "baby" grows up and looks at the "parents" with a critical eye? Guided by the formula "he who is forewarned is armed," John Brockman invited famous scientists, publicists and philosophers to reflect on the prospects of interaction between man and artificial intelligence in the light of the ideas expressed by Wiener, as well as in the light of new realities and the latest achievements of scientific thought.
