Artificial intelligence will never become a conscious being due to the lack of aspirations that are inherent in humans and other biological species. This statement was made by Sandeep Naiwal, co-founder of Polygon and the AI company Sentient, in a conversation with Сointelegraph.
The expert does not believe that the end of the world is possible due to artificial intelligence gaining consciousness and seizing power over humanity.
Nailwal was critical of the theory according to which intelligence arises accidentally as a result of complex chemical interactions or processes. Although they can lead to the emergence of complex cells, there is no talk of the emergence of consciousness, the entrepreneur noted.
The co-founder of Polygon also expressed concerns about the risks of surveillance of people and the restriction of freedoms by centralized institutions with the help of artificial intelligence. Therefore, AI should be transparent and democratic, he believes.
[…] Ultimately, global AI, which can create a world without borders, must be controlled by every person,” Nailwal emphasized.
He added that everyone should have a personal artificial intelligence that is loyal and protects against the neural networks of influential corporations.
Recall that in January, Simon Kim, CEO of the crypto venture fund Hashed, expressed confidence that the future of artificial intelligence depends on a radical shift: opening the “black box” of centralized models and creating a decentralized, transparent ecosystem on the blockchain.
