>Elon Musk came out with another artificial intelligence warning on Monday. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO suggested that AI could be the cause of a third world war.

>Russian president Vladimir Putin has joined the war of words concerning the international race to develop artificial intelligence. Speaking to students last Friday, Putin predicted that whichever country leads the way in AI research will come to dominate global affairs.

>The mathematician and winner of the prestigious Fields Medal and deputy Cédric Villani was commissioned by the french government of a mission on artificial intelligence.

So... Are we entering in a new era ? AI is not science-fiction anymore, it's a thing that hit even politicians and governments.

I predict that progresses will be enormous in a few years. But it seems that the US are not in the hype train.

I hope USA enjoyed their time at the forefront.

Time to hand the crown over to whoever wins the AI race

Are we really expected to believe the DoD hasn't been appropriating truckloads of money for AI research before the majority of Veeky Forums was still in diapers?

FINALLY POLAND WILL TAKE ITS PLACE AS RULER OF THE WORLD

Mmm... and an old one. Precise crop circle and FRB multiverse segment combinatronics blueprint(s) amalgamation(s) and the engines of creation... Now... Are ye ready?

that was a sad movie

All of this AI shit is a total meme, and here's why: there exists and issue pertaining to the "embodiment" of the AI. Our level of intellect combined with our primate physicality has allowed us to perceive reality and reason in such a way that we continue to advance and improve ourselves. In other words, these clawless bags of flesh are actually just as essential to our reasoning skills as our brains are. So far, AI has been given very specific linguistic, numerical, and spatial problems to solve, and it has performed very well, but I'm not convinced that it will evolve to anything too crazy in the near future.

Also, Trump's disregard for a multitude of minor alphabet agencies has little effect on the development of AI in the US as a whole. Do you honestly think that he would defund the NSA or DARPA/DARPA-like programs?

Didn't see this before I wrote my last post. This is what I was getting at.

Good, we are 20 trillion in debt. We should have stepped out of the international rat race a long time ago.

An AI can't even beat autistic nerds on a videogame, and they want you to believe that it's going to shape the geopolitical landscape? All they are good for is solving problems with a very small set of rules. Real next breakthrough will be in biotech, not in comp sci.
