The future of artificial intelligence is under human control.

On November 24, the sixth offline event was held, and three lecturers from the University of Singularity were invited to open a course in ancestral, which included "artificial Intelligence reshaping Life", "Network Computing Impact Future", and "biotechnology innovation explosion". And I am most interested in the artificial Intelligence section, and carefully listened to the first half, pick the most impressive parts, sharing and reviews.

1. Exponential revolution: Subversion or Subversion?

In the morning course, Professor Neil Jacobstein, head of the AI project at the University of Singularity, the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA advisor, first mentioned exponential thinking. Professor Neil Jacobstein stressed that in order to gain exponential growth, you have to face a process of subversion or subversion, the key is in the process of subversion, where you are located. Are you a subversive or a subversive person.

One of the simplest examples is jobs. As you all know, jobs used his ipod to subvert the music industry in the United States, and then use the iphone to subvert the global handset manufacturing industry, even with Macs and ipads that have subverted the entire computer industry.

But, like jobs, genius, it's hard for one person to change the world through his own efforts to subvert three or four industries. For many entrepreneurs, the ability to subvert an industry has been quite remarkable.

2, the development of technology will suffer "deceptive" failure

Then I was impressed by a technical maturity curve. (pictured below). This curve should be the common sense of economics.

As the curve reflects, a new technology is going to be a time of great anticipation for new technology, but it's likely that people will later find the new technology is difficult to come by, into disappointment, and then give up on the new technology. The fact is that after a major setback, the new technology soon ushered in a benign growth curve.

However, I have to mention this common sense, because through this curve, we can read more, especially in the current entrepreneurial environment. In fact, this is similar to the entrepreneurial process of many people, the current domestic mobile internet entrepreneurial wave has never stopped, the friends around the period, often learned that many friends around to start a business. Entrepreneurship is a risky decision, and while entrepreneurial success is an infinite sight, most entrepreneurs may die on the eve of the dawn. Many times, failure will be false, it is likely to deceive us, when we take a step forward, it is likely to usher in the dawn of victory. So many times, a person succeeds mainly by insisting on.

3, the development of technology, will make people become lazy?

This thought comes from a question from a live audience. On-site audience questions Professor Neil Jacobstein, people will not because of the development of technology, many things can be done by machines and become lazy. Although the problem is not technically strong, Professor Neil Jacobstein still gives his answer, saying: the development of technology, the maturity of artificial intelligence technology, and the accumulation of wealth do have the potential to make people lazy. However, people should have self-discipline, for the quality of life and physical health, people will also go to sports or take part in physical exercise.

In fact, in my opinion, this question may not be discussed at all, and in contrast to the way people live today, the enthusiasm for physical activity may be higher after more and more people are gaining wealth. We can also see more and more cyclists, night race, more and more urban white-collar workers to join the marathon running. This shows that after the human being completely liberated by the machine, human beings even more love sports to keep their physical function healthy.

4, the future of artificial intelligence by human control

This is the ultimate proposition that many media have argued about the development of artificial intelligence in the past, and that AI will ultimately not harm the destroyed human race. The answer, Professor Neil Jacobstein, is no, because we're going to try to stop AI from doing bad things.

I think that Professor Neil Jacobstein also has a subtext, is whether artificial intelligence will do bad, mainly depends on human itself, because artificial intelligence is made by human, if the occurrence of artificial intelligence to harm human events, it must be a problem, that is, the bad people, but throughout the human civilization, Or the good people are more, so the minority in the case of evil, most of the good human being able to prevent the further occurrence of the incident.

In fact, although this is an introduction to cutting-edge science and technology courses, but we can from above I wrote these four points, actually more involved in the humanities thinking, so technology is not cold, more need humane care and understanding of nature. According to Neil Jacobstein, the most needed in the future is interdisciplinary talent and teamwork in order to gain insight into opportunities and create trans-era products, which is called exponential thinking.
