How might artificial intelligence (AI) actually take over? I don’t mean, AI controlled by the global elites to destroy us, but AI that becomes autonomous and says, humanity can jump in the lake, or even pushes our heads under water, metaphorically speaking. As detailed at an imaginative piece at the American Thinker.com, and it is a pity Australia has no equivalent blog to this, such AI would need to be able to write its own code, for itself, with no human intervention. If the AI is based upon quantum computing, which transcends the limits of present computation, the AI may be able to process and evaluate all existing information on an issue in factions of a second. “That kind of "intelligence" would be so far beyond a human's understanding that a sufficiently advanced AI system would no longer be able to explain to its old programmers the complex calculations underlying its "reasoning." Barring human-imposed programming controls or some kind of doomsday switch, AI's vastly superior "intelligence" would give it a capacity for dominion over this world.
From this perspective, it is easy to appreciate Putin's contention that the master of AI "will be the ruler of the world." It might make more sense to wonder whether AI will eventually be the master of AI and the future "ruler of the world."”
