Very interesting article. But, I'm going to play the role of the oher voice. Here, we are taking about hypoyhetical scenarios, well, what if...
certainly, AI is going to be more intelligent and advanced than us, but, why will it want to eliminate us?
I've been only reading scenarios like "if one exist, the other can't", but why not?
Maybe, the answer to all our problems is this, I don't know. I've also felt fear, sometimes, when i read this, and my mind begin to think this or that. But then, I remember, why? why they are going to kill us?
Maybe, I'm just being naive.... but remember, as my mother says: the coin always has two sides.
Well, the fear that AI would want to eliminate us comes from several lines of thought. First and foremost, it's about ensuring our survival which is literally hard coded into every living being.
Then, there is a second line of thought that says that AI may make a logical conclusion that everything that is wrong with the planet Earth is because of us humans.
Likewise there are many other reasonings but I think at the end of the day, the discussions happen because we don't want one of our creations to be the reason of our end. I think it's just for precautionary measures.
Well... humans are responsible for the damage to the planet. But, I think , when they realize that, they are going to teach and help us to heal and preserve earth.
I hope, when this time comes, they are going to preserve our lives not exterminate us. After all, humans are unique and we create them.
