Elon Musk told when artificial intelligence will become smarter than humans (7 photos)
According to the billionaire, the probability of this is 100%.
Elon Musk is the richest man on the planet and a supporter of technology development. He believes that some professions will be automated in this century, and people will go out into the cold and have more time to do what they love.
The billionaire did not say what money those released from work will use to do their favorite thing. Probably, so as not to worry the public that there could be many laid off and they will not be paid benefits.
Musk also respects artificial intelligence. According to the businessman, it will soon catch up and overtake the human mind.
It is increasingly likely that AI will surpass the intelligence of any human by the end of 2025, and possibly all humans by 2027/2028. The probability that AI will surpass the intelligence of all humans combined by 2030 is ~100%.
What will come of this (and whether it will come at all) is also unclear. Some experts claim that a "thinking and self-aware computer system" will soon appear. It will supposedly engage in self-learning and become superintelligent, and this will already lead to an explosive development of technology.
And other experts say that all this is nonsense and heresy. There is no artificial intelligence - there is database analysis. All that IT specialists boast about now is neural networks that do not create anything new, but only process what has already been created. This means that there will be no explosive growth and mega-progress. And there is no need to fool people and scare them that artificial intelligence will take their jobs. It will not take anything, because it does not exist and even if it does appear, it will not be very soon.
There is also a third group of "experts" - they don't care at all whether AI appears or not. They believe that since it will be so powerful that it can replace many employees at work, it will not be difficult for it to provide the laid-off with money, food and housing. So let it take everyone on its balance sheet - since it is so intelligent.
In short, there are many opinions. And concerns about the development of AI... there are not so many left until 2030, we will soon check Musk's forecast. Suddenly he was not mistaken.
