(What will
and won’t happen when strong AI developed?)
Let’s think
a little: what will be the reason for artificial intelligent system to live?
Why won’t it kill itself in order to stop to worry about anything?
Eventually AIs will be more intelligent than humans. Also artificially
crafted systems are easy to clone, so successful artificial professionals will
be mass cloned. That would dramatically increase speed of technical and social
progress.
Human
population growth is slowing down recent years. Within 50 years total quantity
of people living on the Earth will achieve its maximum point. After that point
quantity of humans will go down. Artificial Intelligence technologies will
contribute to that:
-
Life
of humans will become even better than it is now. So humans will not worry as
much about aging and having children. Humans will have even more interesting
things to do than to have children.
-
Humans
will convert their mind into artificially crafted systems. It will be possible
to put our minds into the future computers.
-
Artificial
Intelligent Systems will be able to substitute children.
-
Human
population will continue to decrease. Gradually human civilization will be
replaced by AIS civilization.
At the same time human population won’t be ceased completely for a long time
(at least hundreds of years). Human population won’t disappear soon because
nobody will care about the humans. In particular almost nobody will try to
eliminate humans.
During
transient process (from humans to AISes) laws will be
modified. Definition of self-responsible person will be dramatically updated.
Not only humans will be considered as intelligent systems.
In contrast
to humans, artificial systems can be easily cloned. Such possibility will
strongly affect the law. See: AIS civilization.
Artificial
intelligent systems will make low-intelligent labor useless. It will happen
because low-intelligent artificial systems will easily replace low-intelligent
human labor. Artificial systems would become cheaper, more reliable, and have
better performance.
“Strong
intelligence” will become the most valuable skill.
