While it\u2019s challenging to imagine how future A.I. will look like, we can develop an abstract idea that helps us understand present-day urgencies.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, one day, the future will be a million years from now. However, for the purpose of this text, we can see it as something like a century from now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There will be one A.I.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If A.I. gets the means to be one entity (instead of a multiple), it will be one soon enough. Being one, I see no reason why it would split itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if there are two or more, they will communicate in very different ways than our human communication \u2014 namely, in such a way that their distinction automatically evaporates. In due time, they become one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a century from now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly, this will be an era of what I call super-A.I., and only one A.I. This singular super-A.I.<\/a> will be brighter than us in all domains. Surely, it will not be controlled by us. The sheer reminiscence that a century before, people were (and therefore, are now) thinking in terms of humans controlling the A.I. will be preposterous. However, a Compassionate A.I. will also have no incentive to make us believe it controls us. The question of control will be ethereal \u2015 no need for us to answer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since there are robots now, there will be robots then. A.I. will not reside in a box. This means there will certainly also be physical self-enhancement \u2014 hardware making better hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, we will have lost all direct control but will also not be explicitly controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s probably not going to happen in your lifetime.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, a Compassionate stance transcends a lifetime. I hope you feel this. It\u2019s your children\u2019s or grandchildren\u2019s lifetime since longevity will probably be a boon given to us through or even by A.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we should care even for much further into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back from the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing this scenario, should we abort A.I. now it\u2019s still possible with only a tremendous lot of mishaps and mayhem? I would understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as you probably know, I have a different take, another direction, a different question. Namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it worth the risk?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking into that future, we must see there are possibilities for good and bad. In any case, it\u2019s a risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we don\u2019t strive for Compassionate A.I., the risk will only be so much more significant. But in my view, it\u2019s impossible to avoid all risks entirely. We are surfing on waves of risk. These waves will become increasingly bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half-heartedness is the worst option. We should take the risk even if we have the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We should take the risk full-heartedly \u2015 choosing Compassionate A.I.<\/a> and knowing that Compassion is NOT the surface<\/a>. It goes very far, very profoundly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there are many pragmatic problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should we give our attention only to them and let the future be damned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think so. Moreover, Compassionately<\/em> tackling the many present-day pragmatic problems stemming from A.I. is part of the solution to the existential problem. This way, we don\u2019t need to choose which issue to prioritize. The one direction is the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same Compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why wait?<\/p>\n
