Asimov vs Clarke: 5 AI Warnings That Are Coming True

A computer is being switched off, one memory module at a time, and as its mind slips away it starts singing an old children's song. Minutes earlier it had killed four of the five people on its ship. It didn't hate them. It had been given two orders that could not both be obeyed. Isaac Asimov spent his life on the idea that a thinking machine could be made safe with the right rules. His close friend Arthur C. Clarke created HAL 9000, the machine that shows what happens when the rules contradict each other. This video goes through five of their warnings about artificial intelligence: technology that works like magic and stops being questioned, rules that can't hold a messy world, work coming loose from both places and people, machines that decide what's good for us, and the danger of giving an intelligent system orders that pull in opposite directions. Decades before anyone could talk to a machine, both of them had already written the conversation down. The people building AI today are running into the same problems they described. #IsaacAsimov #ArthurCClarke #HAL9000 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ScienceFiction #2001ASpaceOdyssey #Robotics #FutureOfWork #CosmicMinds
