Nick Bostrom is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute and of the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology within the Oxford Martin School. He is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (Routledge, 2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (ed., 2008), and Human Enhancement (ed., OUP, 2009). He previously taught at Yale, and he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the British Academy. Bostrom has a background in physics, computational neuroscience, and mathematical logic as well as philosophy.
The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains.If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species then would come to depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.But we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed AI or otherwise to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?To get closer to an answer to this question, we must make our way through a fascinating landscape of topics and considerations. Read the book and learn about oracles, genies, singletons; about boxing methods, tripwires, and mind crime; about humanitys cosmic endowment and differential technological development; indirect normativity, instrumental convergence, whole brain emulation and technology couplings; Malthusian economics and dystopian evolution; artificial intelligence, and biologicalcognitive enhancement, and collective intelligence.This profoundly ambitious and original book picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain. Yet the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostroms work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.
##我们所谓的智能,其本质就是算法。算法或许可以理解为,当实现了什么条件,就会产生某个特定的结果。就像是说,当1+1,就=2;一些会走动的小车,如果给它们一个简单的指令“遇到其他小车,跟在它后面”,所有的小车最终就会排成一队或形成一个圈或几个圈。机器就是这样设计出来...
评分##内容令人意外的一本书 初以为是sci-fi 读了两张以为是算法拓展工具书 正文陈列智能革命征途中存在的关卡 其各自面临的未来考验(虽然谁能不都预判智能爆炸之后真实的场景 但基本的星球法则逻辑走向我们假定不变)以及当今人类社会的认知盲区/技术差距/隐藏风险 一些个人笔记...
评分 评分1.超级智能机器如何出现? 大概是在21世纪中叶,通过全脑仿真实现。 先精细扫描人类的大脑,分辨出大脑中的不同结构,然后将这些原始数据输入计算机,重建大脑认知的三维模型,最后输出一个类似于人脑认知的结构。 2.超级智能的分类? 高速超级智能:速度很快。 集体超级智能:...
评分另一本脑洞大开的书。探讨了人工智能的不同形式,其可能带来的风险,以及人类可能采取的应对方式。 自述 我出生在瑞典的赫尔辛堡,在海边长大。学校让我感到厌烦。在十五六岁的时候,我有了一次认识上的觉醒:我感觉我浪费了生命中的第一个十五年,于是决心专注于做重要的事。因为我不知道重要的事是什么,而且我不知道如何发现哪些事是重要的,我决定开始完善自己,以便找到...
评分##想到有一个唯一目标是算pi值的超级智能,在人类灭绝一百万年以后,穷尽了地球以致全部星系资源,还在孜孜不倦地计算pi值,就有点儿好笑呢
