WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE?
Neuroeconomist Daeyeol Lee discusses his new book and the development of artificial intelligence, asking 'Will AI ever surpass human intelligence?'
How might AI impact the relationship between humans and machines, or human civilization as a whole?
Increasingly powerful artificial intelligence and machines equipped with such AI will continue to develop, undoubtedly increasing the productivity for people who control such tools. While increased productivity is good, this process will unfold unevenly throughout society, amplifying already existing wealth inequality. I think this is something we have witnessed many times throughout history. Sharing the benefits of technological advances fairly among all the members of a society has always been a much harder problem than developing the technology itself, and we have frequently failed to find a good solution for everyone. In order to truly gain the most from technological advances, we also need to be aware of their limitations and potential for abuse. Reflecting on these and how we resolve them might even give us an opportunity to better understand human nature as the gap between our intelligence and AI continues to narrow.
