Humans won't be able to control a superintelligent AI, according to a study

It may not be theoretically possible to predict the actions of artificial intelligence, according to researchers from the Max-Planck Institute for Humans and Machines. "A super-intelligent machine that controls the world sounds like science fiction," said Manuel Cebrian, co-author of the study and leader of the research group. "But there are already machines that perform certain important tasks independently without programmers fully understanding how they learned it [sic]." Our society is moving increasingly towards a reliance on artificial intelligence -- from AI-run interactive job interviews to creating music and even memes, AI is already very much part of everyday life. According to the research group's study, published in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, to predict an AI's actions, a simulation of that exact superintelligence would need to be made.
