Do you think technology can go to far?

Question

such as that, in the future with robots and how scientists say they will be more intelligent than us. I think if they become to smart and human-like; they will realize free will and they will no longer be slaves; we will.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

i thing tech should g o wayy far! i mean who would have thought that pple would go this far in technology!!! think about it! no one thought they could make a small laptop!!?! etc...!! i think your thuory of it is kinda wrong!!!

but hey, it's my opinion

Answer 3

I think you're right. I'm gonna stop this at its source.

I just took a hammer to my ipod nano and i'm pouring acid over my laptop as I'm typing this right now.

See you in a future free from robot dominion my brother of flesh!

Answer 4

yea and in the 1960's we were going to have flying cars right now.  You have to be vigilant of these things...but to say that they are going to happen...is most likely not going to happen in your lifetime, if it ever does.  For us to make a machine that is able to have free will and "think" not just "compute" better than us would mean that we are able to build something that is as complex as the human brain...and we know almost nothing about our own brains let alone how to build one to put in a robot.  Not likely for a long time...and then once we have that technology we would have to be so careless with it , that we let it take us over.  I guess its possible but there are a lot more likely ways that we will be enslaved or wiped off the planet.

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

There is an academic pursuit to this concern based upon the theories of Statistician I. J. Good who proposed a point where technological development would grow at a rapidly accelerated rate in an intelligence explosion that surpasses even the best of human intelligence and knowledge. This explosion was coined by Good as the 'Technological Singularity' and refers to a point whereby the rate at which collective intelligence and technological development expands exponentially, the generally agreed trigger for such an explosion is the concept of artificial intelligence.

The theory goes, that machines that become artificially intelligent will gain the ability to improve their own design and design machines that are intelligent, themselves. As soon these machines reach a point where their designs create machines of superior intelligence to a human being (no matter how slight); that machine will be able to create infinitely more intelligent machines still which are beyond the realms of anything a human being could create because it would be of an entity that itself is more intelligent and can thusly improve its mind faster and more efficiently than any human being. This should then create a feedback loop and usher in a rapid and irreversible change to society and human life. The fear is that if this were to happen, the endeavours of any artificially intelligent machine of superior knowledge than the human race may not be consistent with the survival or benefit thereof.

Should such a situation arise, presumably we would be powerless to defend ourselves as the machine would always know how to counter any aggressive action taken against it with methods that could not have been anticipated nor conceived by human beings with their limited intellectual capacity.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as artificial intelligence:

Computers can process information faster than humans, but they can only process the information that is input by humans, or by sensors that humans created and hooked up to the computer.

Computers can store more information than humans, but they can only store information that is input by humans or by sensors that humans created and hooked up to the computer.

Computers can respond to certain situations, but they can only respond to things they have been programed to look for, and they can only respond in the pre-programmed way.

So even though computers continue to get faster and more powerful, they will never be intelligent nor will they be able to take over the world and enslave humans.
