HARBINGERS DAILY/ Jan Markell-
About seven years ago, I started to become aware of a phenomenon known as “artificial intelligence” or “AI.”
The first troubling headline I saw stated, “Ex-Google Executive Anthony Levandowski is Founding a Church Where People Worship an Artificial Intelligence God.”
The second headline read, “Why Humans Will Happily Follow a Robot Messiah.”
I started watching videos online of robots who look human and who “think.” They answer questions and seem to process real thoughts. Developers of these robots say someday they will solve society’s problems. Such men also believe that it is possible for artificial intelligence to be a billion times smarter than humans. Try to process that!
Various leaders in the field of “AI” have made some of the following statements:
- “The human era could be ending and machines will take over.”
- “He who develops AI rules the world. We aren’t going to be able to control it.”
- “We are summoning up demons.”
- “We are playing with fire.”
- “This is one of the dumbest things we can do.”
- “Soon robots will walk among us. They will play with us, teach us, and they will truly be our friends.”
- “AI will be smarter than humans and will become a god.”
- “AI could become the worst event in the history of civilization.”
- “In the end, the machines will win.”
Maybe this new religion isn’t the promise of paradise after all. Some promoting AI are evangelists and some of them offer a new Promised Land. But some of the very movers and shakers of the artificial intelligence industry are sounding serious warnings. Continue reading…
