Famous physicists warn AI and extraterrestrial life will bring terrible threats!



[NetEase Smart News, April 10] Astronomer Lord Martin Rees believes that artificial intelligence may surpass humanity within a few hundred years, thus opening a long period of time dominated by electronic intelligence. In addition, he also believes that such intelligent life may already exist in other parts of the universe.

Sir Martin Rees, an astronomer of the British Royal Astronomer and an Honorary Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at the University of Cambridge, believes that within a few hundred years, machines may transcend humanity, opening up a new era of machine-ruling. He also warned that although we will certainly find more information on the origin of biological life in the coming decades, we should also realize that alien intelligence may be an electronic life.

Sir Rees said: "Just because there is no life elsewhere in the universe does not mean that there is no wise life. My guess is that if we really detect alien intelligence, it will be completely different from us. They may be some sort of electronic entity. ."

Sir Reese believes that in the global scope of this century, there will be a serious risk of global recession on the grounds of misuse of technology, bioterrorism, population growth and increasing connectivity problems that make humans more than ever before. fragile. Although we may be in the most dangerous situation because of human activities, the ability of the machine to surpass ours may be the decisive factor in determining how the life of the universe originated.

He explained: “If we look to the future, it is very likely that in the next few centuries, machines will be overused and they will surpass us in the next billion years. In other words, organic intelligence. The time occupied is only a small part of the long life of early life and machines."

Compared to the delicate and specific needs of human life, the electronic intelligence life is very suitable for space travel and can withstand many global threats that may extinguish mankind. Rees said: "We are likely to be fixed in this world. We will be able to carry out more in-depth exploration of space, but our exploration of the world beyond the solar system will be a matter of later generations. For the mortal mind and body Saying that the journey time is too long. However, if you are immortal, then these distances are far less daunting. This journey will be completed by robots, not us."

Not only did Sir Reese think, many famous thinkers, such as Stephen Hawking, believed that artificial intelligence might destroy human civilization. Others, such as Subbarao Kambhampati, president of the International Artificial Intelligence Association (AAAI), have also regarded AI attacks as one of the greatest threats to human survival.

However, many people do not agree with these views. Even Hawking has pointed out the potential benefits of artificial intelligence. When we train and educate AI and shape them in our own image, we make them capable of forming emotions, which may prevent them from wanting to harm us. There is evidence that the "singularity point" may not be a single moment, but a "gradual" process that has already taken place - which means that we are already adapting to artificial intelligence.

But if Reese's prediction is correct and humans are on the path of self-destruction? If we completely destroy ourselves and artificial intelligence is advanced enough to survive without us, then his predictions It may come true: biological life may be just a passing in history, and electronic intelligence will dominate the universe, not just because artificial intelligence has changed humans.

Fundamentally speaking, the idea that electronic life is unique and suitable to survive and thrive in the entire universe is not far-fetched. The question is, can we live with it?

Fast Recovery Stud Diode

Fast Recovery Diode (FRD) is a semiconductor diode with good switching characteristics and short reverse recovery time. It is mainly used in switching power supplies, PWM pulse width modulators, inverters and other electronic circuits as high-frequency rectifier diodes. Free-wheeling or damper diodes are used. The internal structure of the fast recovery diode is different from that of an ordinary PN junction diode. It belongs to a PIN junction diode, that is, a base region I is added between the P-type silicon material and the N-type silicon material to form a PIN silicon wafer. Since the base area is thin and the reverse recovery charge is small, the fast recovery diode has a short reverse recovery time, a low forward voltage drop, and a high reverse breakdown voltage (withstanding voltage).
