Do you want Artificial Intelligence to be invented? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is not a question about if you think it is possible, or not.

This is a question about your own will and desires. If there was a vote and you had a ballot in your hand, what will you vote? Do you want Artificial Intelligence to exist, do you not, maybe do you not care?

Here I define Artificial Intelligence as something created by humans that is capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it's self aware and have consciousness. All that with the processing power of computers behind it.

As for the important question that would arise of "Who is creating this AI?", I'm not that focused on the first AI created, as it's supposed that with time multiple AI will be created by multiple entities. The question would be if you want this process to start or not.

Respectfully, you've asked the wrong question. The process to create AI started decades ago (arguably, longer).

...capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it’s self aware and have consciousness.

As you've described it, consider how this is any different than human procreation.

The answer is the ability for a 'computer' to have instantaneous access and ability to process the world's information.

Assuming a sentient "cyber" AI is inevitable and you're wondering about our "own will and desires", the question should be, who do you think should create the rules for AI to ensure it's making the right choices today and beyond the time of our species.

Or, to put it another way, who gets to be God and Moses?

Seems pedantic. You know what they are asking!
