The Future of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to recursively self-improve and learn something new, acting independently within the next four to five years. However, there are concerns about wrong objective functions leading to unintended consequences. To mitigate risks, some propose building a constitution for AI to ensure ethical behavior. Companies are also exploring limiting the knowledge or behavior of AI models to keep them within human boundaries. The development of AI applications is expected to bring benefits such as improved healthcare and education, but careful regulation is necessary to manage the potential risks.
