“Humanity is behind a bull”: Nick Bostrome warns of world instability and lack of European AI – computers
Nick Bostrome Deep spoke to Lusa about the Deep Understanding (“Deep Understanding”) published in Portuguese, in which he fixed the idea of A Advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (IA) have solved all the major problems of humanity.
Asked how the world is defined at this time Geographical political tensions and tendency to rise for tyranny, polarity and increased false informationProfessor at the University of Oxford responds by resorting to imagery.
“I say that humanity is on the back of a bull, it is writing to jump, and we are trying to capture our lives and it seems to be exacerbating its speed.”
“We have nuclear weapons. We have the Internet. We have social networks and we have progress in synthetic biology that can be democratic. We are coming to some kind of climax, where we will be fixed or we will be thrown or we will get where we can deliver the reins, perhaps align super intelligence, hopefully, can be fixed“Things, reflect.
But the current situation “we didn’t seem very stable, It seems to be not going to last long, something should be given“Academic said.
Furthermore, It is “a little sad” the world is living “this is an unforgettable period in all human history” and “we don’t even want to realize what is going on”It laments, it is unable to see what is happening around people who feel like the last things of the politics or celebrities.
“As we ignore this, We live in our small bubbles, they are only related to minor“, Represents the educational and philosopher.” In my opinion, many people do not see what is happening today and this is a philosophical perspective, ”he admitted.
When asked what his biggest concern as a European citizen was, Bostrom was “not great.” But in terms of AI, as the United States and China, Europe “is not so awake” for its development.
The United States has had “consecutive programs” in recent years and now seeing it as “key to national security and economic well -being” AI wants to control the chips supply chain. The Washington AI chip has limited exports to the aim of limiting this technology by countries such as China and Russia.
“This has led to a series of activities to limit the export of China’s Envidia Chips and other technologies and now began to be limited to other countries.”That is, they divide the world into limited access to three levels, and Nick Bostrom continues.
On the other hand, the China is investing strongly “in an attempt to overcome these plans about chips and develop their.
In the case of Europe, it followed this idea: “Maybe we can control some things”Although there are no heavy data centers in this area.
“A. There are some exchange coins like ASML in the Netherlands in EuropeSpecialty in the development and manufacture of photolytography machines used to produce cutting -edge chips, “so” has some power to have a large market. “
“I don’t know what the right answer to this great geographical political matters is, however, how europ is passive. If you look at all the major technical organizations, “they are in the United States and China.
“It seems to have no will to be in the center of real appetite, ambition, for glory, or to be in the center of eventsEurope seemed a little happy to be a ‘fun retirement village’, which is not the worst thing, ” “There are so many worse things like countries that cause problems to other countries”Ends.
