This will be our January 2016 New Year Event with the installation of newly elected officers.
At The Sanctuary Clubhouse at 2255 Mockingbird Lane, Indialantic, FL. See directions below. Topic: AI: Is it for us or against us?
Speaker: Joe Vandeville, Northrop Grumman (Retired)
About the Presentation:
In the past few years several noted scientists and technologists have made public statements about the potential dangers of AI – artificial intelligence. Stephen Hawking has said “. . . full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”, Bill Gates has said ““I don’t understand why some people are not concerned” and Elon Musk has indicated that AI is a “demon” that is “potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons”. With the predicted demise of the planet due to global warming, the coming mini-ice age, assaults by violent extremists, do we also need to prepare for a robot apocalypse fueled by AI gone rogue? Is there something fundamentally dangerous about AI or is this similar to the dangers often cited against technological advances in general, such as the Luddite fears. This presentation will take a look at some of the ideas expressed by various people who are on the leading edge of this new technology.
