Debate on Will AI Pose a Threat to Humanity
55:44 - 1:02:30 (06:45)
The speaker believes that while it is important to consider safety measures against AI, comments made by individuals such as Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom can be misleading. They suggest that we are currently in a golden age for low-level vision and speech recognition applications, and that it will likely be 100 years before we develop a general intelligence system on par with a human being.

The success of present algorithms, including low level vision and speech recognition systems such as Alexa, leads to a golden age for their applications, although it's important to consider potential safety measures against the fear, perpetuated by some influential people, such as Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom, of developing a general intelligence on par with a human being.

Summary
The success of present algorithms, including low level vision and speech recognition systems such as Alexa, leads to a golden age for their applications, although it's important to consider potential safety measures against the fear, perpetuated by some influential people, such as Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom, of developing a general intelligence on par with a human being. It's estimated to be about 100-20 years until such a system will be created.

It’s difficult to predict if artificial intelligence will evolve beyond our comprehension or if it can be fully engineered, but it’s important to understand that there are different levels of understanding, including the level of learning.
