Yet the writer concludes that this is very bad news. The bestseller Superintelligence, and FHI’s work on AI, has changed the global conversation on the future of machine intelligence, helping to stimulate the emergence of a new field of technical research on scalable AI control.īasically the argument is that if one finds signs of life on Mars (a planet very close to earth) then the chances of life existing on other planet would be greater, since it shows that it evolutionary process is in fact not very improbable.
