It is generally agreed that life on Earth originated close to 4 billion years ago. It took us a lot of time to reach a stage where we can imagine creating a new race of species using Artificial Intelligence. Today many of us are afraid that our super-intelligent creations might wipe us out very soon.
Why shouldn't we worry? Technological advancement has outgrown our ability to control its consequences. There are 3D printers that print themselves. Also, our most technically advanced and intelligent creations are built and used for destruction.
Instead, they would revive us. What we fail to see is that these beings would be more intelligent and less foolish than us.
A super-intelligent being will respect the beautiful gift of creation. It will not only achieve astronomical technological feats, but will also cultivate intense values of love and compassion. It will use natural resources optimally and reproduce sensibly. In times of ethical or moral conflicts it will act in ways that are beyond human reasoning, and hence impossible for us to comprehend positively. It would put ‘we’ before ‘I’.
It wouldn't be arrogant and deaf towards its soul. It will be able to realize that the human brain is its creator, emotion is its soul, and rather than destroying it, would give it a better medium to serve its purpose.
In these super-intelligent beings I see an opportunity to create, to act as a soul and a shot at redemption.
Create selflessly! They will help us out survive our greed.
