Unlike in the human brain where the corpus callosum, the bundle of nerves that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain, Strong AI would not have such a division. The result is greater intelligence as can be seen in limited cognitive tasks like memory recall and arithmetic in Savants who have a severing or lesioning of the corpus callosum.

Hi Dariusz Prokopowicz

I think it really depends on how you define "intelligence". If you're talking about more "practical" aspects than AI already is more intelligent than most humans, and in many specific areas (e.g. Chess or Go) AI is more intelligent than all humans. However, some things like creative, social, or emotional intelligence might forever remain "human".

It's really more of a philosophical question than a scientific question. We need a good definition rather than logical deduction.

Any tools (means of labor) are created because they are superior to man. For example, the power of internal combustion engines is greater than the power of a person. Therefore, the means of labor are created. Otherwise, there would be no point in creating them. Technological evolution is happening faster than biological evolution.

May be more intelligent in some way, but it lacks of creative and cannot have its own demand, so don't worry much about that!

Dear Dariusz,

I concur with the majority of the analysis, and I would like to add a few points to the assertion that "their smartphones in the future a kind of much more enhanced personal advisors".

Future devices, in my opinion, will be more than just mobile phones; they will resemble personal assistants without a mobile smart phone. I have a few patents on the virtual assistant and am developing eyeglasses with a variety of personal assistant capabilities, such as user interaction analysis with others, analysis of facts, aggressiveness, politeness, interests, and ignorance, and the ability to recommend the next course of action.

The virtual assistant for Personnel will be responsible for meeting document preparation, auto-email responses, report and summary analysis, and report generation.

In addition, it handles personal tasks such as timely bill payment, smart investment based on user-defined benchmarks and limits, grocery monitoring at home and office and auto shopping based on user needs and recommendations, alerts for fire and accident prevention, handling medical emergencies and notifying the appropriate parties, etc.

1) what is intelligence? No clear definition until today, it is a humanistic metaphysical concept.

2) I use capability instead of intelligence. Some apps are very much smarter than post-modern consumers called humans. This is today.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant progress in recent years, but it is still a long way from surpassing the human mind in terms of general intelligence. While AI systems excel in specific tasks such as playing chess or recognizing patterns, they lack the creativity, flexibility, and adaptability that humans possess.

Current AI systems are designed to operate within predefined boundaries and rules, and they rely on large datasets to learn from. They can't think outside the box or apply knowledge learned in one context to a new situation, as humans can.

However, some experts believe that AI could eventually surpass human intelligence in certain areas, such as mathematical calculations, logical reasoning, and memory recall. This could lead to significant advancements in fields such as medicine, finance, and engineering.

But there are also concerns about the potential risks of creating machines that are more intelligent than humans. If AI systems become autonomous and self-aware, they could develop goals and motives that are incompatible with human values and priorities, leading to unintended consequences.

In nutshell, while AI has the potential to surpass human intelligence in specific areas, it is unlikely to replicate the full range of human cognitive abilities in the near future. Nonetheless, it is important to continue monitoring and regulating AI development to ensure that it is safe and aligned with human interests.

“AI will not replace people – but the person using AI might replace you,” says Pieter Geldenhuys, futurist and director of the Institute for Technology, Strategy and Innovation. He has teamed up with North-West University in South Africa to run a course to upskill people in new artificial intelligence (AI) technology...

Tags Philosophy and Psychology should be added. Answer is depending on the definition of the intelligence and what is meant by "humans", so I will avoid direct one.

I would say that properly programmed computers can already surpass humans in making better decisions as long as inputs are within expected boundaries - just imagine flying without computers.

GPT can also perform better than average human in many cases, but only by replicating more successful humans, having no notions of what it writes.

There is no true AI yet and I am not convinced there may ever be one... Or perhaps there already is, creativity is key feature of intelligence and I would argue that Image generators are extremely creative. Or are they extremely uncreative?

Another idea, that I find interesting is, how would decision making change after certain amount of actors follows the same AI structure. Obviously this would change the statistical data and therefore the future decisions. Will there be a window of opportunity for humans to make better decisions temporarily?

In conclusion, I do not think that you question may be conclusively answered.

There are many people concerned about the concept of "super intelligence," including AI researchers, entrepreneurs, and professors. They fear that such intelligence could take over and control humans. In the book "Life 3.0," the author@Max Tegmark creates a community to prevent the risks associated with the arrival of super intelligence. The book explains that artificial intelligence has already been achieved in certain specific fields. For instance, AlphaGo has beaten human champions and has no human competitors.

In conclusion, the question of whether super intelligence - meaning AI that is more intelligent than humans - will occur in the future is a valid concern. However, the possibility of self-learning or, to put it in biological terms, self-adapting AI is a topic of debate. In my opinion, it is certainly feasible and can be designed.

Absolutely, I agree that in order to discuss intelligence, it is necessary to highlight its meaning, and in my opinion, intelligence is often confused with wisdom, precisely because they are linked to each other. According to Oxford Languages, intelligence is the ability to know, understand and learn, adapting to new situations. Wisdom in turn is the sum of intelligence and experiences. In my opinion, for the creation of solutions to new problems it is necessary to have Wisdom in addition to intelligence, considering that the experience acquired by machines are human experiences, I consider it unlikely that machines replace humans, but I agree that humans who use machine intelligence will replace humans who not use.

Dear Dariusz, Your question about AI possibly becoming more intelligent than humans brings to position AI relatively to the human capability of thinking about oneself (the performance of self-consciousness). Self-consciousness (SC) is a characteristic of human intelligence. It is needed for conscious future planning, for imagination, for creativity, for … But the nature of SC is not clearly understood by science and philosophy. Debates exist about some possible animal SC, and also about the positioning of SC relatively to phenomenal consciousness (the feeling of “what it is like to …”). As long as we do not have an understanding about the nature of self-consciousness it looks difficult to see it as possibly part of AI (how can we look at transferring to a computer an entity that we do not understand?). Some work is existing about a possible evolutionary nature of self-consciousness (https://philpapers.org/rec/MENRAA-4). But it is based on performances of living entities which brings in the problems of artificial life (we do not know the nature of life). Also, your question could be worded “can machines think better than humans do?”, and this puts the question in a continuation of the Turing Test (TT) which is about “can machines think?”. A lot has been written about the TT. I had a try by rewording the Turing question as “can artificial agents generate human-like meanings?”. Here also living entities (artificial life) are part of the answer. If you are interested: https://philpapers.org/rec/MENTTC-2.

A lot is still to be done....

Artificial intelligence has the potential to be more intelligent than the human mind in the future. AI can process vast amounts of data and learn from it at a much faster rate than humans. However, AI lacks the creativity and intuition that humans possess. AI is also limited by its programming and cannot think outside of its programming parameters. Therefore, it is unlikely that AI will ever be able to replace human intelligence completely.

With the low level of intelligence and culture of humans, algorithms are already superior to humans in many fields.

HOW AI COULD TAKE OVER ELECTIONS AND UNDERMINE DEMOCRACY

Could organizations use artificial intelligence language models such as ChatGPT to induce voters to behave in specific ways?

As a political scientist and a legal scholar who study the intersection of technology and democracy, we believe that something like Clogger could use automation to dramatically increase the scale and potentially the effectiveness of behavior manipulation and microtargeting techniques that political campaigns have used since the early 2000s. Just as advertisers use your browsing and social media history to individually target commercial and political ads now, Clogger would pay attention to you – and hundreds of millions of other voters – individually...

From Robots to iBots: The Iconology of Artificial Intelligence

What is intelligence, after all? How much of human intelligence is itself artificial? My guess would be all of it. And it is all mediated by language and images, signs and symbols that we have invented to communicate with others and articulate ideas. The mechanical use of these ideas, based in the storage and retrieval of every word and image in our global memory banks, is inevitably based in what Marx called “the ruling ideas” of a society, which are nothing but the ideas of the ruling class. The ruling idea of our world, at least since Adam Smith, has been the assumption that capitalism is the only form of political economy suitable for what we call “human nature.”

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have many researchers pondering the prospect of AI one day becoming conscious. But how would we know if it was? A group of neuroscientists, philosophers and computer scientists has proposed a checklist of criteria for determining whether a system is likely to be conscious. Instead of putting an AI system through a behavioural test, the researchers suggest using the checklist, which draws on several competing theories of consciousness...

Artificial general intelligence is a loaded term. The idea is intended as a contrast to AI systems designed for specific tasks, such as playing chess or solving protein structures. Artificial general intelligence could instead be directed at a broad range of problems. GPT-4 and other contemporary systems based on large language models (LLMs), such as Google’s Bard or ERNIE Bot by Chinese technology company Baidu, certainly fit that part of the bill. These algorithms are based on an approach known as deep learning, which means that the software uses neural-network architecture that imitates key features of the way in which the brain processes and responds to information. After being fed tremendous amounts of training data, deep learning makes it possible to identify connections in the data. When given a text prompt, these models can then use these connections to formulate an appropriate response.

Modern LLMs have demonstrated the ability to write software code, compose fictional vignettes, solve riddles and converse in a manner that often seems eerily human. But general intelligence also implies a capacity for reasoning, abstraction and understanding — a controversial assertion...

The field of AI was founded on the claim that human intelligence "can be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it". This raises philosophical arguments about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings endowed with human-like intelligence which are issues that have been explored by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity. Some people also consider AI to be a danger to humanity if it progresses unabated. Others believe that AI, unlike previous technological revolutions, will create a risk of mass unemployment.

In the 21st century, AI techniques have experienced a resurgence following concurrent advances in computer power, large amounts of data, and theoretical understanding, and AI techniques have become an essential part of the technology industry, helping to solve many challenging problems in computer science, software engineering and operations research...
