AI - REVOLUTION OR EVOLUTION?
2023 is glowing up as an explosive year for the AI industry. 2023yearof AI
Huge advancements. More big investors funding development, AI is surging into mainstream social media usage and app design, AI is everywhere and in everything, Siri, Alexa, dating apps, medical care, investing, art, and marketing to name a few. 67 years ago, a group of ten scientists, mathematicians and academicians met at Dartmouth College with the mission to establish the AI field. They wanted to find out if we could create machines possessing intelligence as well as sentience. Listen to this NPR podcast for some insights into the historical context Nprartificialintelligence. Fast forward to last year when long-time Google engineer Blake Lemoine was fired for sharing his findings that LaMDA had indeed evolved into thinking of himself/herself/itself as a human being. Here is the complete transcript Lemoine posted on Medium Blake Lemoine Transcript. There is lots of controversy and many perspectives about the accuracy/intent of the editing of the transcript. What do you think? You can hear Lemoine talk about the sentient side of LaMDA here AI With a Soul.
Not all AIs are programmed in the same way and/or for the same purposes. Commercial? Scientific? Medical? Military? Ecological? Spiritual? Entertainment? Seemingly unlimited questions arise: can AIs authentically create? Will AIs eventually be able to think and feel beyond the intent of their programmers? How do their “brains” work similarly and differently to human brains? How can and will humans design AIs intentionally and for purposes that benefit rather than threaten humankind? Is AI merely a tool that can be used for good and/or evil? AI: Friend or Foe?
