Notes again- AI becomes more and more viable, but our cultural ideas of what it actually is move much further ahead of what’s actually happening. There’s still a lot of sinister misconceptions. At the same time, it really has advanced, producing art, music, and advertisements- but as before, the true dangers that AI poses are really dangers posed by human misuse. Unsure how much algorithms count as AI- our current main progress is in “narrow” AI, designed to accomplish one specific task and not much else, which some digital algorithms might count as.

Artificial Intelligence

[watsonftvm368]

The overlap of the mechanical and the lifelike increases year by year. Part of this bionic convergence is a matter of words. The meanings of “mechanical” and “life” are both stretching until all complicated things can be perceived as machines, and all self-sustaining machines can be perceived as alive. Yet beyond semantics, two concrete trends are happening: (1) Human-made things are behaving more lifelike, and (2) Life is becoming more engineered. The apparent veil between the organic and the manufactured has crumpled to reveal that the two really are, and have always been, of one being. What should we call that common soul between the organic communities we know of as organisms and ecologies, and their manufactured counterparts of robots, corporations, economies, and computer circuits? I call those examples, both made and born, “vivisystems” for the lifelikeness each kind of system holds.

Piece 38, Fears, Risks, Scholarly, Alarmist? large-scale issues This one’s interesting actually, did it really say that the german flu vaccine gave people narcolepsy? or was that a translation issue? Though this might be more... data and algorithm focused than purely on AI, but those go hand-in-hand. Bit of a focus on broader societal effects in general.

Strong Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of machine intelligence that is equivalent to human intelligence. Key characteristics of strong AI include the ability to reason, solve puzzles, make judgments, plan, learn, and communicate. It should also have consciousness, objective thoughts, self-awareness, sentience, and sapience.
