What do you think when one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all times, Elon Musk, says humans must merge with machines? Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and humans becoming cyborgs. This is no longer a science fiction. According to Elon Musk, humans must merge with machines or they face becoming irrelevant. The claim that people will eventually turn into cyborgs is no longer a crazy science fiction. But what happens when humans merge with machines? Artificial intelligence is making such an important progress now that humans will have to significantly change their ways of lives. Machine learning is process that we must take under control. One way to do is that we merge with robots It is possible that with the advancement of artificial general intelligence, the only plausible scenario for human race is to become cyborgs – merge with artificial intelligence and stay in control of it.

Otherwise, if we build AI separately, we would necessarily have to deal with what to do when robots become smarter than us by several orders of magnitude. This isn’t to suggest that robot would kill us like it’s most popular in movies. Even though Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence could wipe out humans. But the economic difficulties that come with any economic revolutions must be addressed properly. What do we do when autonomous machines take over most of our jobs? From self driving (or more precisely, autonomous) cars, through AI in medicine, design, and pretty much all low skilled jobs, we are going to face existential challenges as soon as next couple of years.

Of course it is possible that we wouldn’t build an AI but that’s not a benign scenario either. The only thing that would prevent from creating artificial intelligence is an event of a natural disaster, like climate change, or a major interstate war. But if we don’t boil ourselves to death or nuke our planet into oblivion, AI is a serious concern.

It’s certainly a great innovation that is capable of creating Star Trek abundance. But we need have to do this right. Musk proposed that we should unanimously ban use of AI for military purposes across the globe. But what if just one actor disagrees? Will everyone just trust each other? On the other hand, if we don’t prevent creation of another potential of destroying life on Earth, should even proceed?

These are some but not all of the questions that we need to have answered by the time we get to the age of robots smarter than humans.

What do you think? Should humans merge with machines? Would you want to become cyborg? Do you agree with Elon Musk on artificial intelligence? As Elon Musk says could artificial intelligence wipe out humanity? What do you expect from the age of artificial intelligence? Is Musk a cyborg? 🙂 I hope you like my thumbnail where I tried to turn Elon Musk into cyborg. The idea was to suggest that Elon Musk merges with robot. I used a picture of a Terminator and blended it together with Musk’s face. Now it’s Elon Musk Terminator 🙂
