The End of the Western World: Is Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Really a Threat?

This is about the immortal theme of artificial intelligence, especially in the "Artificial intelligence will surpass humanity?" "Singularity is approaching?" and other titles that frequently appear on the streets in 2016 - the moment of artificial intelligence technology landing, this topic is natural Can pry more nerves.

But the question has come. Is the appearance of the human and the machine depicted in the “West China World” as two separate species, confused and slaughtered? Is this the future? Maybe, but at least in my own eyes, I prefer to believe in the future of "intentional awakening" that suits instincts. I am more inclined to believe in the future of "insignificant in relation to consciousness", where consciousness is not a concern for the development of AI. .

This future narrator comes from Yuval Herari, the author of The Brief History of Humanity. In September this year, Hilary published a sequel to this book in the United Kingdom: A Brief History of the Future. I don't know when the Chinese version will be sold, but believe me, it is very likely that it will engulf the circle of friends in the tech industry after publishing - after all, at some intervals, the Chinese Internet community will collectively produce a certain kind of "sacrificiality" to a book. In the case of "A Brief History of the Future," it is definitely a high-probability event to enter "Appreciation Books."

In this book, Hilary first systematically explained the process of deriving the authoritative source of human behavior from “God” to “Humanism” (everything must pursue the deepest answer)—the latter is the mainstream of modern human society. In ideology, he wrote in an article: "Politically, we believe that power depends on the free choice of ordinary voters. In a market economy, we think that customers are always right. The art of humanism believes that beauty depends on Observer's vision. The humanistic ethic reminds us that if we think something is good, we should do it.??"

However, this kind of authority that has been running for hundreds of years seems to be shifting. If “free consciousness is an illusion” has triggered the first shot of authority change, then the most important logical starting point of humanism is “No one knows yourself better than you”. It is being dismantled on the madness of technological development. According to Hilary, in this century, "Dataism" is very likely to replace "liberalism" and become a "new religion" that humanity believes in.

In the dataistic outline, when collecting large amounts of data (especially human biological data) and adding to the increasingly powerful computing power, external forces will know you better than “your heart”; when all the data are connected to each other, this force will Nothing is too far away to learn more about the entire human race than anything else. At that time, the “worseest” system such as democracy will become very ridiculous. An implicit “intelligent big brother” will replace most Human thinking.

It must be admitted that this is a more realistic future than Western World, but it is hard for humans to imagine that this future will be compared to the unbridled liberation of humans in the “robot park”. Where do people go?

The rise of "data teaching"

In fact, several years ago when the philosophical implications of big data came out, the transfer of authoritative data by many scholars was greatly discussed.

Heralli likes to use marriage as an example: the choice of marriage was handed down to the “inner choice” of the era of humanism by the medieval priest – but in the future, the successor may be Google, “I would ask it, John and Paul. They are pursuing me, both of them I like, but the two do not feel the same.I'm really hard to sort out. Given all the information you know, what do I suggest? And Google will answer: I'm from the day you were born Knowing you, I read all your emails, recorded all your calls, know your favorite movies, your DNA, and all the history of the heart's biological information.I have accurate data for each of your appointments, I can Show you a real-time graph of your heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels each time you date with John or Paul. And I understand them just as I understand you. Based on this information and my advanced algorithms and decades of millions For statistical data on relationships, I suggest you stay with John because in the long run, 87% of you may be more satisfied with him.”

Someone will certainly ask: Will humans be "stupid" to hand over everything to machines?

In fact, tracing history, from the vigilance of the unknown technology to the “blind trust” runs through the entire process of the evolution of man and machine. The trust of mankind in technology cannot be regarded as a “rational victory”, but is more of a victory for the habit itself. —Know that the future machine is not an active “power grabber”, but rather a logical choice after human social variables have become increasingly complex and the machine has become increasingly smart: you better accept the option given to you by the machine, because it is usually the most Ok. Further deductions, one day, the decision-making complexity of maintaining the normal operation of society will be exhausting. At that time, the machine will take over the entire power, which means that the fate of humans and machines will tend to be one.
