Computers will make Einstein look stupid

He said within this period, a single computer chip will have an IQ of 1,000-times that of a human being – which equates to an IQ of around 10,000.

Wut
 
The speed of processor doesn't magically equate to intelligence. It just means it can run the same dumb code faster.

I'm very skeptical about all this hype around artificial general intelligence. I highly doubt we will see it in our lifetimes, but I might be wrong. IMHO, some promising progress with artificial narrow intelligence has been taken to mean that general intelligence is around the corner, but the gulf is so large I can't see it happening anytime soon.
 
still trying to find this smart phone everyone keeps talking about.
 
What a very silly headline!

Computers would not exist without the combined work done by scientists, especially in the Physical Sciences and Mathematics.

Not even going to read the article.

“I believe this artificial intelligence is going to be our partner. If we misuse it, it will be a risk. If we use it right, it can be our partner,” he said.

...uhm...partners...sure..
 
My mice has jumped a bit, didn't expect anything good, what a shame....

I thought the average IQ may have dropped a bit recently, but 10??:wtf:
(Yeah I know IQ is supposed to be based on averages already, so should always be average at 100)

Alternatively: This is what happens if you use median instead of mean, thanks to our honourable MP's
 
And in other news expert believe that reading mybb news articles will drop the readers IQ by a factor of 10 :D

Yeah I am with you on this. I also think true general AI (or self-awareness) won't be with current computer hardware architecture, maybe with quantum computers or something.

I believe that being able to scale up the ML frameworks we have today will actually equate to intelligence, however, I doubt that this will scale up will be physically possible. Processors today are roughly 1 million times faster than they were 30 years ago. I seriously doubt we will see anything close to that (even at log scale) in the next 30 years. I expect processor performance increases to continue to slow down and eventually hit a wall (where the cost of the research can't be covered by the product). I don't think quantum computers will help either (seems unlikely to be able to cast it into an ML algorithm).

Regarding some of the claims I still doubt that 1000's of times smarter makes any sense, but I do think we would reach something very much resembling real intelligence with an O(1 million) times speed up.
