Having once spent some time learning Go, this is a frightening accomplishment for AI.

I really don’t want machines being able to think for themselves. The dangers involved are there for all to see.

Terminator was a fun but obviously unrealistic film when it came out.
maybe not.

Heck the adds for Watson from IBM during the AFC playoff game this past weekend were scaring the heck out of me as it was. We seem to be on the road to making ourselves obsolete. Just have to hope the AIs decide to keep us around for quaint entertainment.

AI was a popular topic back in the day. Maybe the 80s. But then it never really took off.
Now it seems to be talked about constantly again. And this time, they seem to have real accomplishments.
I’m starting to get worried. An actual AI would change things the way that the printing press changed things.

This is a landmark achievement. I frankly never expected to see this level of development in my lifetime as Go is a seriously hard problem to crack. Kudos to Google for this.
The implications for the development of so-called "Strong AI", however, now need to be taken seriously.

The good news is that Watson and its successors are how you solve the "healthcare crisis". Watson-like technology will enable computers to outperform 99% of all doctors for routine healthcare screening within a few years. The result is that 90%+ of all routine doctor office visits could be eliminated within a decade.
For those requiring treatment, robo-surgeons will again cover 90%+ of all outpatient care.

It’s obvious from our history the question that MUST be given a superior intelligence, for good and/or evil is “How to control men?”
The explanation of the AI doesn’t sound like ‘true’ intelligence. However accomplishing this feat with brute force and pattern recognition shows it is awful close.

Hopefully no one builds a machine that is more intelligent than they are.

It will be some kind of ego thing or gov-co program doing something extremely stupid.

While I think that sounds great, I surely hope someone is looking into how to hardwire the 3 laws of robotics into all the AIs.

I have an AI working on that now.

And how often will the AI decide we’re way cheaper just dead?
To: drbuzzard
We’ll have to entertain them all the time.
Idle input fields are the Devil’s playthings.

I wonder what the machines will think when the grid goes down.
“Poof?”

You get rationing when you’re managing scarcity. The promise of technology is things that were formerly scarce become cheap and plentiful. Medicine is not immune to that arithmetic. Will some hypochondriacs spend hours each day consulting with their robo-doc about imagined maladies? Sure. But it’ll probably be a plug in to Facebook for them so you won’t notice any difference.
