Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking fears that the rapid
development of artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction but I
feel that it all comes down to programming and the eternal question ~ are we
innately programed to love and cooperate with one another or are we programed
to hate and separate from one another? Artificial intelligence without a soul
is a garden without sunlight and is doomed to extinction and irrelevance: Allen
L Roland. Ph.D
Professor Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists,
has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very
existence and he is essentially correct.
Hawking
told the BBC: "The development
of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race… Humans, who are limited by slow biological
evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded" See 5 minute video http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30290540
What
I believe Hawking is saying is that man cannot program love or the universal
urge to unite, the driving force of evolution, and thus Artificial intelligence,
like Kubrick's HAL 9000 in 2001 Space Odyssey, is doomed ~ for without a
soul it is destined for oblivion. Another folly in man's feeble attempt to play
God.
Is
the HAL 9000 a forerunner of the future of mankind? Let's review
Kubrick's vision:

Dr. Floyd: [prerecorded message speaking through TV on board Discovery while
Bowman looks on] Good day, gentlemen. This is a prerecorded
briefing made prior to your departure and which for security reasons of the
highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your
H-A-L 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter's space and the entire crew is
revived it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago the first evidence of
intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the
lunar surface near the crater Tycho. Except for a single very powerful radio
emission aimed at Jupiter the four-million year old black monolith has remained
completely inert. Its origin and purpose are still a total mystery.
In
summary, we
are all emissaries of love on a mission to a rogue planet in a tiny corner of a
small galaxy and innately programed to become part of a loving plan in
action, which is also God ~ an evolutionary and spiritual process with which we all
participate as co-creators.
"Where there is love there is life" ~ Mahatma
Gandhi
MERRY CHRISTMAS
