00:00Many people fear that the overuse of artificial intelligence could lead to an apocalyptic end of humankind.
00:06Movies and books over the years have propelled these concerns.
00:10Science Alert shared calculations that show it may be impossible to control a super-intelligent AI.
00:16Experts say once a computer system is working on a level above the scope of human programmers,
00:21we would be unable to set limits.
00:23Therefore, setting rules like, quote,
00:25quote, cause no harm to humans can't be set in stone if their strategy is, quote,
00:31incomprehensible to humans.
00:32Science Alert knows that one solution would be to limit the capabilities of the super-intelligence
00:37and cut it off from parts of the Internet.
00:39According to a researcher at MIT, one reason AI may never fully outsmart humans is because, quote,
00:46human empathy and kindness are an important part of intelligence, and AI lacks that ability to empathize.
00:52Earlier this year, tech giants signed an open letter asking humanity to pause work on artificial intelligence
00:59for at least six months so that its safety could be explored.
