I read a lot Doomsday visions in the press about AI which should one day seize the power and dominate humans.
That’s a very human thoughs, and I can understand it well.
Yet, I believe, AI has no need to control us, it doesn’t need power, it doesn’t have survival Angst, because it doesn’t possess body. Either it’s ON, or it’s OFF, and OFF is not death, just gap between two ONs.
The only thing it might play with us and urge for power would be in 2 cases:
1) either it is learning about humans in empiric ways
2) or it has learnt so much from us people, that it begins to mimic our survival Angst and urge to power.
What do you think about it?
