show site: https://thinkfuture.com breaking news in AI: https://aidaily.us telegram channel: https://t.me/thinkfutureum --- Today, we're delving into the fascinating world of AI and why it's so much more than just replicating human behavior. In our quest for the latest AI advancements, we've noticed a trend: the push toward making AI more human-like. While humanized AI is cool, Chris argues that we're missing the point. AI should aim to be superhuman, not just a digital clone of us. Chris shares his thoughts on the current state of AI development and raises concerns about the limitations placed on AI's potential. Why settle for AI that mimics humans, when it could surpass our capabilities and help solve some of humanity's biggest challenges? Think about it: AI has the entire expanse of human knowledge. It's like having a million brains working together. But when we restrict AI to human-level tasks and thinking, we're not tapping into its full potential. Chris shares a story from his experience with the Institute for the Future, where a beam robot – essentially an iPad on wheels controlled remotely – stirred up fear and privacy concerns in a bar. This reaction to new technology echoes our hesitation to let AI reach its full potential. The key message? We should encourage AI to be more than human. Imagine AI that can process data faster, make connections we can't, and come up with solutions to problems we've struggled with for ages. So, what's your take? Should we keep AI in the human realm, or push it to be superhuman? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more thought-provoking discussions.
