What is so great about humanity and civilization that it must be saved from AI?

"Over recent years, Hawking has become increasingly vocal about the need to leave Earth in search of a new planet."
"In May, he said humans have around 100 years to leave Earth in order to survive as a species. “I strongly believe we should start seeking alternative planets for possible habitation,” he said during a speech at the Royal Society in London, U.K."
“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.”

Stephen Hawking has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to destroy civilization. In a recent interview with Wired, the University of Cambridge Professor said AI could one day reach a level where it outperforms humans and becomes a “new form of life.” "I fear that AI may replace humans altogether,” he told the magazine. “If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that improves and replicates itself. This will be a new form of life that outperforms humans." And this is bad, why? ;) |
