According to a report by the foreign media on November 2, Stephen Hawking, a famous British physicist, said in an interview that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon become a new form of life, even on a certain day. Beyond humanity.
Hawking said in an interview with the famous American magazine "Connections": "I fear that AI will completely replace humans one day. Even if people design computer viruses, others will improve and perfect their AI technology accordingly. There will be a new way of life beyond humanity.†In the interview he also advocated more people to devote themselves to science and added that humans should formulate new space programs and find suitable planets in the universe as humans. A place to live in. He said: "The earth is too small for us. The global population is growing at an alarming rate. We are in danger of self-destruction."
This is not the first time Professor Hawking has expressed concern about the rise of AI. In October last year, Professor Hawking also warned that AI can develop its own will and counter the will of human beings. He gave a speech at Cambridge University’s Smart Future Research Center and discussed the significance of the rapid development of AI: “I believe that there is not much difference between what the biological brain can achieve and what the computer can achieve. Therefore, theoretically, computers It can simulate human wisdom and surpass it. "
Hawking said that now that AI is developing rapidly, the investment obtained is huge, and the potential benefits are also huge. The technological revolution can help eliminate some of the damage caused by industrialization to the natural world.
He said: "The successful creation of AI may be the greatest event in the history of human civilization. However, unless we learn how to avoid risks, we will put ourselves in desperation." (Internship Compilation: Wang Xie reviewer: Li Zongze)
