Fox News contributor Joe Concha joins "Fox & Friends First" to discuss Elon Musk's warning that artificial intelligence could threaten elections and his concerns on the declining birth rate. Long before Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak signed a letter warning that artificial intelligence poses "profound risks" to humanity, British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking had been sounding the alarm on the rapidly evolving technology. "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race," Hawking told the BBC in an interview in 2014. Hawking, who suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for more than 55 years, died in 2018 at the age of 76. Though he had critical remarks on AI, he also used a very basic form of the technology in order to communicate due to his disease, which weakens muscles and required Hawking to use a wheelchair.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has captivated the world, with exciting new publicly available AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Dall-E, a new version of Microsoft's Bing search engine and an ego-bruised Google trying to catch up. Someone with basic computer skills can create anything from an original article to a photo-realistic image by typing what you want into a prompt. But is that good for society? If you're interested in AI and want to add AI-assisted investments, download Q.ai today. According to the National Artificial Intelligence Act of 2020, "The term'artificial intelligence' means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments."

The Third Edition New Oxford American Dictionary defines Artificial Intelligence (or AI) as "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages." When we think of AI, we usually think of Issac Asimov's I, Robot -- or, if you're like me, you'll think of Data or Lore from Star Trek.

SPEAKING at the University of Cambridge in 1980, Stephen Hawking considered the possibility of a theory of everything that would unite general relativity and quantum mechanics – our two leading descriptions of reality – into one neat, all-encompassing equation. We would need some help, he reckoned, from computers. Then he made a provocative prediction about these machines' growing abilities. "The end might not be in sight for theoretical physics," said Hawking. "But it might be in sight for theoretical physicists."

Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, arguably one of the smartest people in history, warned, in an interview with the BBC, that, "the development of full artificial intelligence (AI) could spell the end of the human race." Hawking went on to say, at the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon, Portugal, "AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization. It brings dangers, like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many. It could bring great disruption to our economy." In 2015, dozens of brainiac scientists and technology experts, including celebrity physicists like Hawking and Elon Musk, signed a letter warning that, even though AI could be used for great good, it could also have potentially devastating, dangerous and unintended uses.

But as the fluency of GPT-3 has impressed many observers, the big language model approach has also attracted significant criticism over the past few years. Some skeptics argue that the software is only capable of blind imitation – that it imitates the grammatical patterns of human language but is unable to generate its own ideas or make complex decisions, a fundamental limitation that would prevent the LLM approach from maturing into anything resembling human intelligence. For these critics, GPT-3 is the latest brilliant object in a long history of AI hype, directing research money and attention to what will ultimately prove to be a dead end, preventing other promising approaches from maturing. Other critics believe programs like GPT-3 will forever be compromised by biases, propaganda, and misinformation in the data they have been trained on, meaning their use of anything more than salon tricks will always be irresponsible. Wherever you get to this debate, the pace of recent improvement in large language models makes it hard to imagine that they will not be deployed commercially in the coming years.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been bandied around for the last few decades or so and, I'm sure, most of us are still wondering: What exactly is this? So, will we be faced with an army of Terminator-like humanoids who will reign terror across the world? Will we witness "I, Robot"-like humanoids attending to our homecare needs – you know, washing, ironing, cooking and the like? Nah, I already have a wife that's dutifully doing that. Okay, stop – I know I shouldn't go there – just one small footnote though: My wife, Sarah, isn't remotely domesticated, although she does cook once in a while!

Despite the pandemic's disruptions, MIT's research community still found a way to generate a number of impressive research breakthroughs in 2021. In the spirit of reflection that comes with every new orbit around the sun, below we count down 10 of the most-viewed research stories on MIT News from the past year. We've also rounded up the year's top MIT community-related stories. In October, researchers discovered a way to jump-start the immune system to attack tumors. The method combines chemotherapy and immunotherapy to spur immune cells into action.

An AI takeover is a hypothetical scenario in which some form of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the dominant form of intelligence on Earth, with computer programs or robots effectively taking the control of the planet away from the human species. Physicist Stephen Hawking, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and SpaceX founder Elon Musk have expressed concerns about the possibility that AI could develop to the point that humans could not control it, with Hawking theorizing that this could "spell the end of the human race". Stephen Hawking said in 2014 that "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." Hawking believed that in the coming decades, AI could offer "incalculable benefits and risks".

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change", were the words of the world's prominent scientist and writer, Prof. Stephen Hawking. He had to suffer from a devastating situation of his neural disease in an early emerging stage of his career and became paralyzed. However, the disability was failed to stay ahead in his field of cosmology and introducing the world with his groundbreaking research. It became possible only because the automation which was provided by cutting-edge technologies, become his backbone. Thanks to AI, disabled people drastically improve their own lives at the pinnacle of ability where they even can deal with Lucifer of tragic events. Many branches of AI dramatically influence people who are dealing with any kind of accessibility problem.
