It can create solid foundations for purpose and meaning in life. But it’s also a shared, community connection. Religion in the West, since the Enlightenment of the 18th century, is regarded as a private affair. The belief in Superintelligence is compatible with an intelligent designer. Religious people have no problem grasping the “simulation hypothesis” of Bostrom. And even less about the three seconds before the Big Bang. But we know nothing about the first three seconds. We know a lot about those first three minutes. Physicists like Steven Weinberg and Stephen Hawking have written about “ The First Three Minutes” of creation, after the Big Bang. Soon every customer support call and every satellite navigation instruction will have machine intelligence built in.įor those who have religious faith, “creation out of nothing”- ex nihilo – is easier to understand with an intelligent designer. Right here, right now.ĥ9% of Artificial Intelligence researchers believe that computers will be able “to simulate learning and human intelligence” by the year 2050.Ī.I. Bostrom outlines three possible situations: –ġ) that future humans become extinct before Superintelligence is developedĢ) that they develop Superintelligence, but decide not to pursue itģ) that Superintelligence has been reached, and it has generated millions of simulations, and that we are today experiencing one of them. Simulation theory has been around for 20 years. He advises governments on using the power of A.I. And it’s the topic on the popular podcasts of Joe Rogan and Sam Harris. This is mainstream computer science, philosophy and information technology. This question – whether we are living in a computer simulation – is no longer for science fiction nerds.
He defines Superintelligence as “any intellect that greatly exceeds the performance of humans”. His book Superintelligenceinvestigates Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and where it can go. He is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford. Are we in an artificial environment, generated by intelligent computerised agents of the future? And who cares? How do we know whether we are living a physically real life? Or whether we are living in a simulation. Neo: I know, that’s why it’s going to work. Trinity: Neo, no one has ever done anything like this. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?īook review: Superintelligence, by Nick Bostrom
