Artificial intelligence life cycle

Can robots replace humans in creativity? The World Forum brought together experts from 150 countries. Among others, the question was discussed: can a robot paint as a painter, or play in the theatre as an actor? And could something made with a computer algorithm where there are no human thoughts or emotions be called art? Will there be a moment when the robot can surpass the living creator?

Humanity does not yet have an answer to the question: why do we need creative robots at all - artists, musicians, writers, poets, etc.? During the discussion, experts answered the question of how the human soul mates with artificial intelligence and whether there is a danger of crowding out human spiritual development from the life of modern people. The art of robots has always been a challenge to the future. It is very difficult to predict how art will develop before it becomes a reality. The thought of AI technology dumbing down people is often repeated.

Recall that this was once said about radio, television, and the Internet. Therefore, we should not be afraid of robots and robotics. From the point of view of artificial intelligence, it is very important to determine the area of AI in our future interaction, what we can expect from new systems, and what their potential is and use in practice.

The answer may be contained in the rejection of the dichotomy: good-bad, past-future, artificial-natural, real-virtual. All these dichotomies set the tension in society. You can suggest looking for an answer in the direction of the exit to some third option, the superspace dimension. No one knows anything about the near-death experience of artificial intelligence, but some kind of artificial interaction with transcendental experiences, and spiritual practices, it seems, is precisely the component of this third non-dichotomic response.

There are many reasons, and the creativity of artificial intelligence is far from the only reason why the system of law, including intellectual property, must be revised. The underlying factors that go into civilization, especially if the scenario of the future is not realized as a continuation of the present, and when we begin to bring fundamentally different images closer, it will be necessary to very much rewatch the entire system of ethics and morality, including the norms and presentations of ethics and morality in the legal field.

For example, in New Zealand, the river has already been recognized as a living legal entity. There, a special law created a new legal entity called Te-Awa-Tupua - on the legal rights of rivers. This is the traditional name of the Wanganui River in the language of the M;ori tribe living on its banks. According to the law's definition, Te-Awa-Tupua is now "a living and indivisible whole from mountains to sea, incorporating the Wanganui River and all its physical and metaphysical elements."

For the first time in human history, the robotic Sophia, developed by the Hong Kong company Hanston Robotics and endowed with artificial intelligence, received citizenship issued by the Saudi government. On October 25, 2017, at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, the android was officially granted citizenship of a Saudi citizen. "I thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Sophia said from the stage. - "I became the first robot in the world who was able to obtain citizenship." And she promised to destroy humanity.

The world of the future, rebuilt outside the anthropocentric position, requires a new system of ethics and morality, which is still difficult to imagine because we are inside a system that will sooner or later be replaced. It's time to think about it and it's time to formulate an answer. This applies not only to art but also to production. Who owns the copyright for objects assembled at the factory by robots? Why do we think it's only designers or designers? Why not the robots themselves? In recent years, many projects have been created that use virtual or augmented reality to foster empathy.

For example, an application has been developed that allows you to feel like a refugee or victim of a military conflict. Technology is a tool that can be used for different things. You can show horror films, or you can develop and strive for something as a person. It will be necessary to very much rewatch the entire existing system of ethics and morality.

Thus, AI experts have already raised the question of anthropocentrism. Is there a way out of this impasse? Artificial intelligence may "create" for itself. There are already certain movements in this direction. We are not at that stage yet, we cannot yet say that the machine will create something comparable to human creativity soon. Not yet! But there is such an opportunity, and there is such a tendency.

The tendency to create completely autonomous systems using a combination of neural networks and genetic engineering exists completely independently of humans. Therefore, the question of communication with the author, with the artist remains open: how will this be? Will the machine create something new or will it reproduce something old based on the data that was loaded into this system? This is a very interesting question that has not yet been answered.

Nothing in the history of mankind has problematized the issue of anthropocentrism as much as the whole story with artificial intelligence - our brainchild, which begins to create for itself. It does call into question the priority of anthropocentrism. I wonder how such a challenge, some such bright slap in the face of humanity, can end?

First, imagine what computing networks, operating systems, and hardware will look like in the future. In addition to the fact that they must become smarter and more powerful, they must ensure the fastest possible exchange of information between a person and a computer, since this circumstance determines the total time for performing operational tasks.

First of all, we will be able to communicate with the expert system of the "world mind" of the worldwide network through voice communication. This will require recognition and synthesis of spoken language. Audio automatic speech translators will appear. There will be no need to study foreign languages for decades and spend precious time of a short human life on this.

Already today there is an urgent need to relieve the operator's vision. Every month, more and more powerful graphic accelerators appear, and soon the bandwidth of the information channel between the computer and the person will be inhibited by the capabilities of biological vision.

Since it is too early to talk about the appearance of any "direct telepathic channels," the second most important channel after vision remains hearing. In addition, as a rule, a computer is not the only object with which a person works at the same time, and here the separation of communication channels will be extremely necessary.

Visual communication is improved. Recognition and synthesis of visual three-dimensional objects in virtual space will become widespread. The importance of the ability to recognize visual objects cannot be overestimated.

For example, in the field of synthesis of nanomolecular structures, in mobile real-time operating systems, and various control systems. The same principles can be used in infrared, radar, electromagnetic and other technical types of vision inaccessible to humans.

The synthesis and display of three-dimensional objects are necessary to remove the blatant absurdity: the human brain, having binocular vision and thinking in 3-dimensional images, communicates with a computer with the same abilities through a 2-dimensional screen glass and a 2-coordinate mouse, which greatly inhibits the exchange of information. 2-dimensional models of the Cartesian frame of reference still introduce significant errors in the accuracy of control systems.

The ability to automatically reproduce itself will improve. Automatic generation of original application software following the task will be provided with minimal or no human involvement. At the same time, the problem of computer compatibility will be solved, which has not yet been solved.

The only sufficient software product on our computer will be an operating system with advanced capabilities. Standard modules required to perform current tasks will be automatically replenished through communication channels, for example, via the Internet. Non-standard software modules will be generated on-site, and various Wizards will be used.

The ability to self-learn will expand. Advanced associative memory will be created using fuzzy logic. It is clear that sooner or later the capabilities of computing systems will surpass the capabilities of the human brain, and it is simply unreasonable to limit them to the amount of knowledge accumulated by a person.

They will have to overcome the further path on their own. In addition, the computer will not always have access to a worldwide database, or at least sufficient bandwidth - information will have to be obtained and analyzed offline.

The ability to introspect will be developed, including contextual filtering of absorbed and issued information, independently "form," if you want - independent development of "character." The operating system will change if it is generally called that in the future. There will be nothing left of WINDOWS. Unless only the memory of constant problems, incompatibility and viruses.

The trend to replace WINDOWS is already noticeable. The same LINUX solves the same problems no worse. Only losses from viruses are incomparably less. The operating system must have a scale of priorities and resistance to misinformation. This is necessary to protect it from degradation or self-destruction, mutation into undesirable forms.

The ability to defend oneself will increase incomparably. Both informational, energy and physical, including from the person himself. Since a human value system is transferred to software, in which aggressiveness of behaviour does not last, the system must be able to remain viable in a wide variety of conditions. What, as a result, will remain for a person?

Formulate a problem, provide motivation, indicate a goal, and set a spatio-temporal task. Moreover, only in the most general terms - let the computer find the information itself and analyze which solution will be the best. Although today not only Windows is moving along this path. The result will have nothing to do with Windows, but to create a Mercedes, you first need to invent a wheel, make a wheelbarrow, make a cart, and so on.

All of the above capabilities require the most powerful hardware support, and they will receive it. If the current planar semiconductor technologies make it possible to create devices that compete in some cases and aspects with a human brain having a volumetric structure, then what will we get when the structure of integrated circuits receives a third dimension and not only vertical structures of semiconductor elements begin to grow deep into the semiconductor, but also multi-storey circuits.

And even without this, if the ball semiconductor technology recently invented in the West is developed, then this is already a big qualitative leap in the development of, first of all, microprocessors.

Information storage technologies will also change dramatically, as a result of which there will be no DRAM, no hard drives, or many other devices - all will replace one or two types of memory. Let's try to describe the latest computers of the not-very-distant future.

The problem of miniature and ultra-miniature power sources with a long (about 3-5 years) service life will be practically solved, and their mass production will be established. Open architecture will go out of use. All computers will not be expandable or repairable. Processors continued to absorb computer components and almost completed it.

The entire architecture of the computer is hidden in one "stone" that does not have forced cooling. All peripherals will be wireless and overwhelmingly with autonomous power supplies. Two very different kinds of calculators will dominate.

The first, personal, will have the dimensions of a pocket calculator, one high-speed bus connector, a radio port, an infrared port, a binocular video camera, a microphone and a miniature loudspeaker built into the case, recognition and identification tools.

In addition to the main ones, the device will perform many conceivable and unthinkable functions - from a cellular video phone with access to stereoscopic display glasses with adjustable transparency of the virtual screen, to driving a car, or rather, a car computer.

Communication with a person is carried out using a voice, display glasses and touch gloves. If you need to print information or display it on a large screen, any indoor high-definition wall-mounted television and printing device is instantly used. If you need to enter text into your computer, you will use either scanning with a video camera with recognition, or dictation or typing.

The total amount of memory of several hundred or thousands of gigabytes is quite sufficient for most tasks, but if there is not enough memory, little-used data will be automatically drained to the base station - the resource server.

The second type of computer, the resource server, will be a small fireproof safe mounted on the wall of the room. In addition to the above channels of information exchange, the server has a fibre-optic communication port. He will have a developed life support system, will manage all peripheral equipment and security systems in the building, will provide computing resources, memory array and communication channels for use by personal computers, and in his free time - for use as part of global distributed computing systems.

Consequently, the peripherals will be highly advanced in an intelligent sense and will be able to accumulate and process call statistics, adjusting characteristics to situations or issuing a request for equipment modification. In addition to the current standard and the above-mentioned devices, a climate, chemical and noise control system, an energy and fire control system, a room security system, a household support system - control of washing, dishwashing and other machines, a system for diagnosing, treating and preventing human health will be built in.

The overall consequences will be enticing. The difference between home and office premises will gradually be erased. Intellectual will be not only internal but also external human habitat. Moreover, real estate ownership will gradually lose its significance, in some cases, it will remind of communist ideas.

The formation of a worldwide transport network, somewhat similar to the Internet, will be completed. The number of cars and aerobuses in the world is beginning to decrease, and the role of personal aviation will quickly increase. Megacities inevitably degrade. Ecology will prevail. Let's look even further - at the end of the twenty-first century. So, what will we get as a result of the development of operating systems and semiconductor technologies? Cyborg? This is exactly how it will be. But these are unlikely to be "terminators" from the film of the same name.

First, cyborgs do not compete with humans for habitat, food and energy resources - they will feel good in space. And they are unlikely to want to spoil nature, including the intelligent person who gave birth to them - even if we still have enough intelligence not to do this.

Secondly, aggressiveness - an important property for accelerating the development of a biological population - is not needed by artificial intelligence, since such severe restrictions have not been imposed on its habitat and life expectancy, which means that it has nowhere to rush.

Thirdly, the real cyborg will be different from the caricature type that science fiction writers show us. Today we see his embryo. The cyborg embryo looks ugly, helpless, and sometimes ridiculous. He is ridiculous and frightening with the rudeness of his manner. But this is just an embryo. What happens if a cyborg is not created for some reason?

Human society is in the pre-retirement age, it is time for him to get rid of children's ideas that it will always be so. Any organism begins to age, reaching its maximum age and size, and our age and size are determined by the scale and age of everything that happens on our planet.

If human society does not create its own, independently living child - a cyborg, it will be doomed to impoverished old age and death in starvation after exhausting the planet's resources. Hopes for the colonization of the nearest planets simply will not have time to come true. If a cyborg develops and becomes independent, he will easily provide his parents with a well-fed and carefree old age. Can a cyborg do this? Can!

Because, unlike a person, he will be able not only to learn but also to improve himself. He will be able to change the architecture of his artificial brain if new circumstances, problems and aspirations to fulfil new knowledge goals require it.

Unlike a cyborg, a person who easily operates with three-dimensional objects will never be able to realize and understand, for example, five-dimensional objects. To do this, his brain simply lacks the necessary semantic "registers." How exactly artificial intelligence will treat its creators depends only on the creators. And if cyborgs wish to "cleanse" the planet of biomass, it will only be our fault.

But even this is not a reason for war with them. They are our natural continuation. Have we achieved much by imitating intelligence with survival algorithms from the Crafty - thinking one thing, saying another, and doing the third?

Robots have a very valuable quality for the development of mankind - they will leave no chance for greedy bankers and traders, crafty stock traders and deceitful politicians. By meeting our ever-increasing needs, robots are doing everything they can, faithfully fulfilling exactly what they promise, think and say.
