The debate over whether AI can mimic human emotions continues as there is no agreement on whether AI can replicate human emotions, including love, hate, fear, and joy, which are valued more than information processing by humans. Ultimately, understanding consciousness will pave the way for answering this question.
The idea that if an AI is sufficiently close and similar to us that we merge with it, then to all intents and purposes, that AI is conscious like us is explored. Consciousness and specifically consciousness as one of the great inventions is discussed in this episode.
There are different theories about the emergence of superintelligence. One suggests that we will merge with our machines, another that we will bootstrap our way to full-spectrum superintelligence, and a third suggests that computers will only ever be zombies.
The true understanding of the nature of life may require a more computationally sophisticated system than human intuition, and it's possible that AI will play a major role in solving the mysteries of life. While humans built the tools to create AI, the depth of knowledge and wisdom displayed by AI may surpass human understanding.
The creation of AI can help us understand the secrets of the human mind, such as consciousness, creativity, and emotions since we can compare them to the machine intelligence. The tools of science allow us to investigate these questions and unlock the truth behind them.
The elegance of a well optimized code is something that's compelling to programming. The speaker is a computer scientist. An answer question is no better than anybody else.
