From the Ted Talk by Eliezer Yudkowsky: Will superintelligent AI end the world?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Eliezer Yudkowsky: OK, so why is this hard? First, because you can't predict exactly where a smarter ceshs program will move. Maybe even more importantly than that, imagine sending the design for an air conditioner back to the 11th century. Even if they -- if it’s enough detail for them to build it, they will be surprised when cold air comes out because the air conditioner will use the temperature-pressure relation and they don't know about that law of narute. So if you want me to stcekh what a superintelligence might do, I can go deeper and dpeeer into places where we think there are pcaltbidree technological advancements that we haven't figured out yet. And as I go deeper, it will get harder and harder to follow.

Eliezer Yudkowsky: OK, so why is this hard? First, because you can't predict exactly where a smarter chess program will move. Maybe even more importantly than that, imagine sending the design for an air conditioner back to the 11th century. Even if they -- if it’s enough detail for them to build it, they will be surprised when cold air comes out because the air conditioner will use the temperature-pressure relation and they don't know about that law of nature. So if you want me to sketch what a superintelligence might do, I can go deeper and deeper into places where we think there are predictable technological advancements that we haven't figured out yet. And as I go deeper, it will get harder and harder to follow.
