Artificial Intelligence | Humankind’s Final and Greatest Invention
Artificial Intelligence | Humankind’s Final and Greatest Invention
Vicar Sayeedi
June 25, 2021
The development of Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly across a wide range of applications and a cross section of industries. On a daily basis we can conduct a Google search and find numerous new articles published on the subject of AI from countless perspectives. Although we are some years away from Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence, the AI Agents deployed today are remarkably capable and powerful. Observing them in action is humbling and gives us pause for both concern and reflection.
However, the one crucial area of focus that receives little media attention or real world investment is that of AI regulation, particularly when we consider the extraordinary level of attention and investment being allocated to product and technology development. This is worrisome. It is critical that those tasked with legislating and regulating financial, industrial and military practices for the safety of society and humankind are actively working to ensure the safe development of AI and the guidelines under which it will be deployed. In the case of AI and other 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, the lack of progress in preemptive legislative and regulatory policy is alarming since AI is likely to be the single most powerful technology humankind has ever invented.
Today, there are many AI practitioners and thinkers who are of the opinion that AI may be our final invention. Once we develop General AI, the leap to Super AI will be nearly instantaneous. The technology will then operate at a level beyond human comprehension or control. In this scenario we are unlikely to be able to evaluate or understand how it reaches its decisions or to curtail its actions. AI will likely replace the Scientific Method of Inquiry with a new modality of inquiry, once again, beyond humankind’s comprehension or imagination.
Thousands of years ago, at the beginning of civilization and the Agricultural Revolution, humankind acquired rudimentary skills in bioengineering. They observed the incredible strength of a bull and craved harnessing this strength so they could put it to work for their own benefit. They needed to apply the strength of this beast so they could make the burden of life in the new agricultural economy a little easier and more productive. With some quite unpleasant and rather dangerous experiments, humans learned that if they could successfully castrate the bull, the beast would retain its strength but would become considerably more docile and manageable. This early attempt at bioengineering proved very effective and resulted in the oxen. These considerably calmer beasts have made agriculture just a little easier for farmers for thousands of years.
With time, humankind learned that they could perform the same castration procedure on humans, as well. In the Middle Ages priests engaged in the practice of castrating young choirboys before the onset of puberty. The priests wanted to preserve a choirboy’s pleasing soprano voice that often disappeared with puberty. But following castration, they could continue to perform in the choir with some of them developing into wonderful soloists. In the Islamic World, some men would be ordered to undergo castration so they could serve the countless women within the confined and private spaces of the Sultan’s harem without any risk of sexual interaction with these women. Of course, during the medieval period of history there was no regulation in society that could prevent these actions from being involuntarily performed on minors or those without any capacity to resist. The society lived under the authoritarian rule of clerics and monarchs who did as they pleased.
During the Renaissance, Gutenberg’s integration of the age old technique of block printing and the presses used to make olive oil and wine led to the invention of the Printing Press and this remarkable device paved the way for the Catholic Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution. Together, these movements eventually culminated in the 1st Industrial Revolution. Now for the first time in history, with the invention of the steam engine, humankind had decisively overcome its limitations on human strength.
Initially, steam engines were used to power factories and coalmines and this resulted in a dramatic increase in industrial productivity. Soon, the steam engine was being used to power locomotives and ships, thus reducing the time required to transport goods and people by nearly 80%. Freight and travelers began to regularly circumnavigate the globe at an unprecedented rate and volume.
By the early 20th century, the 2nd Industrial Revolution led to the rapid deployment of electricity throughout cities and towns in Western Europe and North America and this also changed society dramatically and permanently. People were migrating to cities at a rapidly increasing rate. Both productivity and the economy continued to grow as the twenty-four hour availability of light and electricity enabled the birth of countless new industries. The 3rd Industrial Revolution was characterized by the introduction of computers, initially very large machines available only to financial, government or industrial organizations. But gradually, the machines were produced in smaller and smaller but equally or even more powerful units that could fit within everyone’s office or school bag and eventually in their pockets.
Throughout these three phases of the Industrial Revolution though, humankind encountered many challenges that eventually led to legislation and regulation. Society had transitioned from the absolute rule of clerics and monarchs to increasingly democratic rule and so legislation and regulation to protect ordinary citizens became more realistic and prevalent. For example, during the 1st Industrial Revolution, children as young as seven or eight were put to work as a source of cheap labor, toiling for long hours in factories and mines throughout America, Continental Europe and England. But as it became apparent that this exploitative behavior of the most vulnerable members of society was unethical and not to be tolerated, laws were passed and regulations were enforced and the use of child labor became socially unacceptable and punishable, at least in the industrializing world.
But with Artificial Intelligence, Bioengineering and other powerful 4th Industrial Revolution technologies we are unlikely to have the luxury of waiting to see how badly society is damaged before initiating legislative and regulatory responses – the damage is likely to be irreversible and so it is likely to be too late. Thus, we need to invest immediately in this work, particularly in the domain of AI-enabled weapons. These weapons are likely to be amongst the applications of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies that require a great deal of attention since they are amongst the most destructive applications of Artificial Intelligence we are ever likely to see.
In the final analysis, Artificial Intelligence will overcome humankind’s limitation on its intelligence, its intellectual capacity. This is the very capability that when combined with our ability to cooperate in large numbers is the reason that we rule the world. But as AI supersedes humankind in one or both of its two prime advantages, a lack of advanced meaningful legislation and regulation could well mark our end.
Vicar Sayeedi is a Computer Scientist and Engineer, a Lecturer and a Consultant. Vicar is also the author of several books. His most recent book is about Artificial Intelligence and is titled, The Génome Affair.
Vicar has lectured widely on the subject of Artificial Intelligence including at the National Hemophilia Foundation, The Royal Boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster in London and the National Library of Singapore.
Vicar is most interested in the big questions facing humankind. He is particularly focused on studying at the confluence of the five great disciplines of Human History, Political Science and Thought, International Affairs, Science and Technology. This intersection offers a deep understanding and pedagogically important lessons of how advances in human endeavor have influenced and impacted civilization.
Vicar has been writing books, essays and poetry for many years. For the past 30 years, Vicar has worked in the Technology and Pharmaceutical industries. He is currently a Consultant in the Life Sciences Industry and lives in suburban Chicago with his wife and their three grown children [if they decide to visit during the holidays!]
