Superhuman' robots will be in a position to outstrip the abilities of mankind within the next 50 years, an expert in artificial intelligence has warned, highlighting that it was important to prevent mankind being "replaced."
In a statement, Luca De Ambroggi, the research and analysis lead for AI solutions within the Transformative Technology team at London-based global information provider IHS Markit, told Express.co.uk: "In 50 years, it is reasonable to think that robots will be able to "support" and replace human beings in several activities. Already mechanical devices outperform humans in sensitiveness and reaction time." Considering the rapid growth of technology, in the last decade, Mr. Ambroggi said 50years was "sufficient" to close several gaps with human beings.
In addition, he said "even if our brain will still have advantages and human beings will still remain more dynamic and versatile, electronics will be able to outperform humans in several specific functions, as it does today, from machine vision to audio and speech recognition. Humans have to prevent machines being in a position to replace them. The longer term question is, can the replaced people be re-qualified and allowed to still add value in our society?" It was important, he advised, that humans set befitting rules and defined boundaries.
However, this era is Generic-Multi Modal AI, Ambroggi noted. It is likened to human intelligence applied in all senses, with excellent performance ability in all areas. For instance, from the sensing aspects, electronics and semi conductor support, to the ability to hear, see, taste as well as smell and touch with the latest MEMS technologies.
He explained "this is very possible to be a reality as well, perhaps not in the next 50 years but technology has developed so rapidly that I wouldn't want to doubt it. Before that, we should put in place appropriate regulations, methodologies and ethical proceedings to be able to take advantage of the positive side of technologies."
