Mo Gawdat]: From one side, we could expect that this [ artificial intelligence] could be the worst thing that ever happened to humanity and that humanity will be reduced into irrelevance. and become completely irrelevant, like the apes are almost irrelevant for the destination or the destiny of the planet. Because artificial intelligence is bound to become comparable in its intelligence to our intelligence compared to the apes.

Mo The Future of Artificial Intelligence, A Conversation with Mo

So, you go across the Atlantic and the moral makeup is patriotism and it’s ok to kill the other guy. You go in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the Buddhists would live, and they go, like, ‘don’t kill a fly’, right? We haven’t agreed… We haven’t managed to agree. And I think my book is centred around this. And you know that because always the very last statement of any one of my books is basically the summary of the message and the summary of scary smart is, isn’t it ironic that the core of what makes us human – love, compassion and happiness, is what could save us in the age of the rise of the machines? And I think if we were to be realistic, the only ethics humanity has ever agreed was that we all want to be happy. Decide what makes you happy, and invest in your own happiness. Tell machines that we want others to be happy too. They are watching all the trends, not just the ones they are told their owners want. Mohammad " Mo" Gawdat (Arabic: محمد جودت) is an Egyptian entrepreneur and writer. He previously served as chief business officer for Google X and is the author of the books Solve for Happy [1] [2] and Scary Smart. [3] Early life [ edit ]

Overall, the book sheds light on a perspective of AI that evades most people! It discusses why the AI intelligent is totally different than the old "dumb" computers that only did speed processing according to what we give it as a work map, in terms of instructions, to the totally new Ai that could learn on its own and navigate towards its goal or mission! First, I slightly don’t agree that our ethics or moral framework was only based on our supremacy. I think that’s, if you don’t mind me saying, with a lot of respect to a Western approach to morality. The ancient approach to morality was much more based on inclusion. It was much more based on the only way for us to survive is to survive as a tribe. And the fact that I dislike my brother a little bit does not contradict the fact that me and my brother are better at fighting the tiger than yellow?

Book review: ‘Scary Smart’ by Mo Gawdat | E+T Magazine

The author, Mo Gawdat is the former director of Google X, the “infamous” Xerox Park/DARPA style “moonshot factory” where Goole researches and develops their more leading edge stuff like: 1. Waymo: Googles self-driving car project thing. 2. Google Glass: googles early attempt at smart glasses. 3. Wing: googles drone delivery project. And 4. Project Makani: An effort to generate electricity using airborne wind turbines. After reading Mo Gawdat’s book, Scary Smart, I knew right away this conversation was a must. As I think about AI’s capabilities – the good, the bad and possibly terrifying, I realize how serious this moment is in history for humanity.

If we all refuse to buy the next version of the iPhone, because we really don’t need a fancier look or an even better camera at the expense of our environment, Apple will understand that they need to create something that we actually need. If we insist that we will not buy a new phone until it delivers a real benefit, like helping us make our life more sustainable or improving our digital health, that will be the product that is created next. Similarly, if we make it clear that we welcome AI into our lives only when it delivers benefit to ourselves and to our planet, and reject it when it doesn’t, AI developers will try to capture that opportunity. Keep doing this consistently and the needle will shift. Scary Smart will teach you how to navigate the scary and inevitable intrusion of Artificial Intelligence, with an accessible blueprint for creating a harmonious future alongside AI. From Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer at Google [X] and bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mainly if people have just one wish, they want to be happy. But we can't just tell computers that or they could dope us.

Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Book Review: Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial

There wasn’t much depth into topics: yes AI could be good or bad and it’s there in all the cliche ways you would expect. Think about the last time you swatted a fly or a mosquito. It was probably hard to garner much empathy for the insect. Conversely, it was ostensibly IMPOSSIBLE for the insect to even come anywhere near understanding you, your motivations, your abilities, your traps, or your next move. Scary Smart presents some interesting insight into the origins of artificial intelligence as well as the rapid rate of development it has seen in recent years. The book also presents theories on how to deal with our inevitable fate of AI taking control of our world. From a brilliant mind comes a terrifying prediction' – Tim Ash, bestselling author of Unleash Your Primal BrainMo Gawdat]: The truth of the matter is that the reason why AI is going to continue is not a technology issue. The reason why AI is going to continue is a very simple prisoner’s dilemma that is created by capitalism. The fact is, there are hundreds of thousands of two little kids in a garage today playing with AI tools. Just like I played with C++ when I was younger. You know, the very basics at the very beginning of Sinclairs and Commodores and so on. Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong? There are only three things you need to know about artificial intelligence. First, it’s coming. Second, you can’t stop it. Third, it will be smarter than humans.
