Opinion on Artificial Intelligence - aka A.I.

Quick info:
Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest topics in recent years, as well as, one of the most valuable technologies ever. Just in case you are not familiar with AI: it is a type of intelligence that is exhibited by machines, in computer science it is a rational agent that can take curtain actions due to it's given environment to maximize its chance of success; AI can also mimic human minds, such as learning and problem solving.

I got this idea for a post after I saw my father reading a New York Times' article about AI when I was passing by him at our house. So I quickly said, "I hate Artificial Intelligence." Then my father responded kind of aggressively, "If you are in to technology, you have to accept the newest great innovation" (I forgot the exact words, but basically that) Then our conversation basically ended there, because I was busy doing something else.

You might wondering why I hate AI, especially when companies like Facebook and Google are investing millions or billions into AI studies. Even when programs such as Siri from Apple, and Cortana from Microsoft are increasingly popular in everyday life. As I stated before, AI is basically a master mind that is designed to think like a human and replace human minds. I feel we as human beings are getting more vulnerable against these machines, just look at Google's AlphaGo victory against Go genius Lee Sedol. You can check out the full news coverage here.

This kind of technology sounds really helpful at first, but we shouldn't create something that is smarter than all of us. By the time that happens, we will be stupid and AI will be essential part of our lives, then the future will depend on machines. That will be a total disaster, because machines with AI will start to disobey people. With a "mind" smarter than human's should have the intelligence to stop following and listening to someone who is dumber.

Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates warn about artificial intelligent.

Stephen Hawking even warns artificial intelligence could end mankind.

Quotes: 
Bill Gates, "I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent......A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern. I agree with Elon Musk and some others on this and don't under stand why some people are not concerned."

Stephen Hawking, "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
"It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate."

If you agree with me, please share my blog, I am greatly appreciate all of the viewers!
