Electronics will save

Introduction:

In this blog I will talk about "A.I." and its fast growth and its potential to take over the "world", and my solution through electronics that can help us if that ever happens.

A.I.:

It’s a small word but with a bigger inference, basically: Artificial intelligence (AI) is wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks the typically require human intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches, but advancements in machine learning and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the tech industry. 

Will artificial intelligence ever become advanced enough to take over the world?

We’ve seen this concept in many movies – when humans create a piece of technology that’s just a little too intelligent and independent that we can no longer control them. This scenario of machines and Artificial Intelligence taking over the world may seem far-fetched and the premise of a satirical sci-fi movie, the ever-growing rate at which technological innovations and breakthroughs are occurring should encourage us to consider the possibility that our reliance on AI may prove to be our undoing as a civilization sooner or later. If robots did take over the world, it wouldn’t happen overnight, rather, gradually shaping and changing the role that it played in our lives, slowly but significantly changing the way we interacted with our world.

Sound familiar? Stephen Hawking once said, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race...It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded.”

Most advanced pieces of AI that currently exist:

The word “robot” was first popularized by Karel Čapek, a famous Czech sci-fi writer from the early 20th century. Since then, we’ve been constantly pushing the boundaries of what machines are capable of But according to Arend Hintz, a professor of integrative biology and computer sciences, and engineering at Michigan State University, the rise of AI truly began in the 1990s, in the form of the IBM chess-playing computer, Deep Blue, that managed to beat Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion at the time. But at its core, this machine was still pretty basic. 

(if you know about AI jump straight to electronics will save, “no one will know”)

Flash forward 20 years, and now we have the humanoid robot, known as Sophia, that can not only hold conversations, possess facial expressions and recognize individuals, but has actually gained citizenship in Saudi Arabia.

One of the most advanced robots is ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), created by Honda in the year 2000. This bipedal humanoid robot can recognize moving objects, distinguish sounds, respond to questions, and travel autonomously. 

Part of what makes us human is our ability to form memories, learn from experiences, and adapt our behaviors based that.  This is basically what modern AI aims to do. 

One application would be self-driving cars that are able to gather and interpret information from observing other cars on the street.  In this new age of artificial intelligence, experts and researchers are trying to integrate something called the ‘theory of mind’ into machines, so that they not only form representations of the world, but can recognize beliefs and emotions in other entities, allowing them to predict behavior.  

So, where are we at now?  In May of 2017, Google announced the Auto-ML project, which involves AI designed to create other AI, possibly even more efficiently than human engineers.  Wait...robots that can create more of themselves?  Now that does sound like a sci-fi novel. 

But, could a robot takeover really happen? While fantasies of being wiped out by androids may be something plaguing our imaginations, there are some other hurdles to overcome before any Hollywood-type scenario ever occurred. One of our biggest worries is that robots may eventually render human labour obsolete.

In 2015, when news emerged that about 15 million jobs in the United Kingdom would be automated within a couple of decades, people were at a panic, fearing the loss of their jobs. However, some are more optimistic, and believe that we just need to change our relationship with AI and make use of our resources in the best way possible.  

Mikhail Naumov, co-founder and Chief Strategy officer of Digital Genius believes that AI is best used when teamed up with people. He says that AI is simply a tool for the customer service reps, similar to how an accountant uses a calculator or a banker uses a spreadsheet. But for many of us technology has already changed from something that is “nice to have” to something that we fully depend on to survive.  Another common worry is that without fully understanding how machine learning occurs. This is referred to as the “black box” of AI, where the algorithms are so complicated that even experts can’t seem to figure out what’s happening after the information goes in. 

Without truly knowing what’s going on and how robots learn from new information, some fear that one day technology might just slip out of our control. It’s true that technological advancement has brought many benefits to our lives, but with the amount of power that it holds, we must at least note the importance of AI safety and research.

Elon Musk, founder of companies like SpaceX ,Tesla and the Boring Company, is a well-known advocate for the regulation of artificial intelligence, claiming that it is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization and that governments need to have a better understanding of this technology in order to fully comprehend the damage that it could do. 

How electronics will save (TL;DR):

So, what if they took us over, initiated sequence of commands to eradicate us all from existence. In the core they are nothing but a computer program running itself or by our help on a integrated circuit. Here’s where electronics comes in but not so quickly, we need to understand how it will work or else a single error could lead us to extinction. 

We as humans have studied a lot about our human body and also the environment, we have learned there are way more secrets hidden in our body especially in our brain then in the physics of this universe, creating an intelligence that will work on series of electric fluctuations to make decisions, doesn’t that sound like our brain.

So, here is what I want to say, AI can learn a lot about the surroundings but the basic support that IC that is supporting it or helping it to work would remain unknown as there is no need for an AI to understand it, AI can expand data but no need to tinker with that IC (and even if they they want they can't), so we can hard program a security protocol on all ICs that support AI building, Cloud servers too or create trap devices which initiate the protocol once inserted so even if AI grows advance and we are unable to understand how its even working we will have an escape route. 

And that’s only possible if we knew that AI has taken us over, anyhow that’s a story for another blog. Stick around. Thanks for reading.
