Aliens and Ai

 

Aliens and Ai

It is common to see that in reality parents teach their babies to do certain tasks. To know if the baby has understood they will ask the baby to do the task. When the baby successfully accomplishes the task, the parents are filled with joy.

When the baby is asked to do a task taught to it by its parents and when it performs tasks over and above the learnt ones then the parents are filled with shock. They begin to wonder how and from where did the baby learn to perform the extra tasks not taught by them.

In such conditions parents prefer to tag that the baby is more intelligent that it is supposed to be. When looking deeper into this from a baby’s point of view there are two possible outcomes. One is that the baby is really intelligent in extrapolating the learnt tasks and does the extra tasks or that the baby is taught those extra tasks by someone else other than the parents.

When we substitute this analogy to self-developing intelligent Ai systems our worries are never put to rest. It will be technically great to learn that the intelligent systems have started to extrapolate data and extent their one generative intelligence. Has the intelligent systems learnt to generate adapted new intelligence on its own or has the technology to gain access to our Ai systems been obtained by the Aliens.

Whichever way the results go, future cannot be taken for granted.
