We are going to develop an artificial intelligence millions perhaps billions of times smarter than our current capabilities in the next 100 years. It is the inevitable result of computer technology.
Lots of fear over what this intelligence will do with us.
As a starting point perhaps we should stop calling it artificial. Probably not a good idea to piss it off right out of the starting gate. More importantly there will be nothing artificial about it.
Humans are not a special case, us versus nature is an illusion of sentience only. And so in coming from us it is as real as anything else in this universe.
But here's the real argument against it being artificial. If we want what is fundamentally human to survive, then this intelligence will need to BE us. It will be us and we this intelligence. It is our only viable evolutionary pathway.
