Summary: Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World – What are your thoughts about it?

I'm curious to hear what everyone think about the ideas from this book.

Here's a quick summary I put together of what the book was about:

There is no stopping AI and it will surpass our intelligence, there’s no question about it. AI is still in its infancy phase and we, as humanity is the parent of this more intelligent being that we’ve created and raising. We are all responsible of the development of AI because they are trained on our collective data of our every actions and behaviors on the internet about. They will learn what we demonstrate to them, and currently, we are not demonstrating the best of humanity on the internet. We are currently teaching and using AI in ways that’s mainly profit driven and power seeking above all. It’s like raising superman to value money and power above all else, what will this version of superman do in our world? Homelander? Do we want that? We have to be the best parent possible by collectively behaving in ways that’s worthy of being respected and taken care of when AI inevitably surpass our capabilities. We need to shape AI that’s aligned with our values. We need to teach AI love, compassion, kindness by demonstrating that in our collective actions online. We need to show the best version of ourselves online to show that there are more good people out there than it currently seems on the internet. We need to change the way we behave with the algorithms as consumers and minimize actions that will train AI to think less of humans as a whole. We need to actively speak against any attempts to use AI to exploit or unethical use of AI. If you are a developer, make sure you are not helping any organizations that are trying to use AI with Ill intent. These are the key to aligning AI to our values and making sure we develop powerful AI that won't destroy us.
