ability of a machine to
perform cognitive
functions
…….which are normally associated
with humans.

humans see.
Smart Robotics
The combination of AI and robots to
perform advanced tasks compared to
traditional non-intelligent robots.
Speech Recognition
Enables computers to interpret spo-

written text or to treat it as commands
for a computer.
Machine Learning
A computer’s ability to ‘learn’
from data, either supervised or
non-supervised.
Natural Language Processing
Computer interpretation, under-
standing, and generation of written
natural human language.
Biometrics
Analysis of human physical and
emotional characteristics – used
also for identification and access
control.

making it readable by other AI or
computer systems.

OF REPLACING ALL FORMS OF LABOR BY
MACHINES.
IT STARTED WITH MACHINES REPLACING

LABORERS, AND IT KEPT GROWING AND

History shows that technology has created large employment and sector shifts, but also creates new jobs
Large-scale sector employment declines have been countered by
growth of other sectors that have absorbed workers

TECHNO-SKEPTICS

Technology is giving
humankind the
potential to flourish like
never before —
or to self-destruct.

98. AGI is so hard that it won’t happen for
hundreds of years, and therefore view
it as silly to worry about it now.
TECHNO-
SKEPTICS
People in this camp: Andrew Ng
chief scientist at Baidu
Science can’t even explain what
consciousness is or even where its is
located.
We have eight or more forms of
intelligence. Logic thinking is only
one of them.
“Fearing a rise of killer robots is like
worrying about overpopulation on Mars.”
Intelligence is embodied. We actually
think with our bodies.
We Humans are so much more then
a computer could emulate.
99. Technology is giving life the
potential to flourish like never
before — or to self-destruct.
The goal of AI should be
redefined: the goal should be to
create not undirected intelligence,
but beneficial intelligence.
BENEFICIAL AI
MOVEMENT
People in this camp: Elon Musk,
Bill Gates Stephen Hawking
For the first time we might build
technology powerful enough to
permanently end humanity itself.
We might create societies that flourish
like never before, on Earth and
perhaps beyond.
We might create a Kafkaesque global
surveillance state so powerful that it
could never be toppled.
Our choices can potentially
affect the entire future of life.
100. Digital life is the natural and
desirable next step in the cosmic
evolution and we should let digital
minds be free rather than try to
stop or enslave them
The outcome is almost certain to
be good.
A truly super intelligence will
automatically have good intentions.
AI paranoia would delay the
digital utopia and/or cause a
military takeover of AI.
