Strawmen, Strawmen everywhere... No one doubts that AI, in its current state, is going to have massive benefits in almost every aspect of human life, and stands no chance of achieving sentience. What some people like @elonmusk are warning about is the that as algorithms

Improve, nobody including researchers know what may happen in the future beyond a time horizon of 20 or 100 years.

Feel free to consult my slightly more critical take on Bentley's paper: http://haggstrom.blogspot.se/2018/03/a-spectacularly-uneven-ai-report.html …

Computers can't even compute (truly a human activity), much less think (see H. Dreyfus' book 'Why Computers Can't Think'). Now I'm not sure, given the big data and inferential power of the most powerful chips/software. 'Machine learning' needs philosophical dissection for sure.

#AI is humanity 21st century nuclear power. Sure it can make this world a better place, but like nuclear energy it can also wipe us out.#AgnosticismNow#nuclearThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

1) Saying that we don't have general AI now, while true, doesn't mean we won't ever. I guess it needs to be said but can't be considered part of the argument. The same can be said of any technology ever developed. We don't have it until we do.

I think all these arguments miss a basic point. Human intelligence was not created by humans but by an evolutionary process that is a lot more complex than anything we are capable of devising. Yes, AI can kill us but so can many other things.

3) An artificial brain that is smarter than us might well be a good thing. The real risk is from speed and access. Imagine the threats we now face from human hackers multiplied by several orders of magnitude. A cloud-based AI-driven hacker would be devastating.

2) Spontaneous supremacy is a straw man. Sure, it won't come from nothing. Instead, malevolent or careless humans will remove or disable the safety mechanisms.

No danger
:"If we could create a super-intelligence (SI), there is no evidence that such a SI AI would ever wish to harm us. Such claims are deeply flawed, perhaps from
observations of human behaviour, which is indeed very violent. But AIs will not have human intelligence."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Artificial intelligence has the potential to amplify and institutionalize our natural stupidity.http://nottrivialbook.com/2017/07/15/in-peer-review-we-need-more-natural-intelligence/ …

Bentley's argument is facile, as demonstrated clearly by one of the other authors in the same collection!

Some of the arguments seem silly. eg Myth 3 - as speeds increase so does AI - allegedly wrong because "Intelligence requires comprehensive testing". But look at AlphaZero - just by playing itself it went superhuman in chess, go and shogi in less than 24hrs. Testing not needed.
