The problem of artificial intelligence is actually: No one is in control of it.
Computer intelligence or artificial intelligence (take your pick of what you want to call it) in the end is a whole lot of subroutines. If you took all those subroutines and put them back into humans and animals where they originally came from, it would look like someone brushing their teeth, someone getting out of bed, someone walking to the bathroom, someone walking to the kitchen, someone walking out the door, an animal peeing in the woods or more, animals making babies, animals eating grasses of the fields or each other etc.
But, in reality no one is ultimately in control of all these subroutines within programs everywhere in computers, in smart phones, in Ipads, in cell phones, in mainframes, in servers running the internet, in military drones, in non-military drones, in the autopilots of passenger planes, jet fighters, autopilots on some ships and boats or even spacecraft etc. In the end the subroutines are summoned by different people or other subroutines at different times. But, since I started programming computers in 1965 I have had a long time to think about all this.
So, what I'm really saying is that you can convert human and animal behaviors into mathematics through programming formulas, but what do you really have? You have something that might do what you want it to some of the time. But what do you have the rest of the time? It is sort of like having a horse you ride but sometimes the horse throws you onto your head like my cousins horse did a few years ago. He's okay now but he stopped riding horses after that even though he had ridden about 40 to 50 years of his life.
Subroutines really are under no one's control all of the time. And even people who think they are in control of artificial intelligence in some ways have no more control of it than they do their pit bull who might attack a neighbors child when the pit bulls mind hits some kind of trigger or glitch.
So, anyone thinking they have absolute control of any computer or aritificial intelligence accessing unit including big companies like Google or Facebook or any of the others really don't understand what computer programs and artificial intelligence really are. They are raw and they are wild like animals and people were before they were civilized. If you really look at the mathematics and formulas of everything that runs artificial intelligence it is out of control like a herd of wild lion marauders in a countryside. All aspects of computer and artificial intelligence simply cannot be controlled. It reminds me of "Jurassic Park" where they say all the dinosaurs are female and the Chaos theory professor from UCSC says that won't work. In the same way they couldn't force all those dinosaurs to be female, you cannot force subroutines to always do what you want to and nothing else. And when flukes happen around artificial intelligence connected to military devices almost anything can and will happen. Chaos theory doesn't just apply to living things it applies to computer and artificial intelligences as well.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
