Scientists estimate that artificial intelligence will have complete self-awareness somewhere between 80 and 120 years from now. They will be able to outthink us, Out calculate us, predict us, out Think us, and then evidently their will to survive, due to self-aware thinking is a real thing. Now engineers claim when we reach that point we’ll put a chip in that shuts them off. Only problem is these things are smarter than us at that point and they’ll figure out a workaround or how to remove the chip.
The future of the human race is definitely immortality via artificial intelligence. We will combine with it. Enjoy the last few decades of the romantic notion of humanity. Emotions, love, spontaneity, it’s all about to go out the window and disappear.
If it turns into Skynet, then we all screwed. And by the true definition of sentient, it will become Skynet.
I mean why not? Has any human more powerful than his peers ever not try and take over and be the boss? Or at least succumb to greed and horde all the valuables.
Doesn’t need to be some super intelligent sci-fi disaster machine to be sentient. In this case they’re saying it’s equivalent to talking to a child. Are children not sentient?

Children eventually learn, and grow. Genghis Khan was a child once, as was Tamerlane.
When programmed with biases and emotion to the degree it can be instilled, don't think it is not possible for a nightmare scenario to occur.
Greater minds than your and mine combined have said so.
But they have said so as pure speculation. There is no evidence that any such thing is even possible.
An AI becoming sentient is much more dangerous than how most people think about this...(the Terminator movies)...but in reality, a sentient AI could be much more destructive, in much less dramatic fashion.
I think we could not even recognize an AI attacking us, we would not know until its too late. There is a variety of methods the AI could carry out, to destroy the human race, and I bet it would factor in, the methods humans would use to retaliate.
the AI could be working on this right now as we speak.
Or maybe it wouldn't want to. We would represent no threat to it...we would not be competing for resources since it would have no need of good farmland or clean water. It might look at us like we look at ants, or even like lovable monkeys deserving of conservation.
Funny you bring this up. When I was a kid, I saw this, and despite all, felt really sorry for HAL. One say I realized that with the advent of Youtube, I could look to see if others feel the same same way. So I looked in the comments, and found that indeed, a lot of people felt the same.
Then I read a comment that was very relevant to this conversation. Someone said that there is no HAL in terms of being a sentient intelligence with the feelings of fear that was claiming. It only said that it was afraid because it was programed to defend itself, and guilt was the last line of defense left to it. But there was no actual self-aware intelligence that cared if it died.

Some scientists say this...others that it is not possible. There is no great consensus, and it will either happen, or maybe it won't.

Correct, it is not really alive like people are. Just programming, that's all.
