I very much doubt AI will be the solution to the world's problems, mainly because human beings are fallible and I believe that the ability to be wrong is a vital part of the way problem solving works.

We have so little understanding of how our own brain, an already extant intelligence, works so the idea that we will be able to create a fully functional system that is superior to us when we don't even understand what exactly "intelligence" is seems far fetched.

I think it's absurd to think both that minds as powerful as ours emerged from nothing but random genetic mutations and natural selection and that the direct application of human intelligence to the problem is fundamentally incapable of ever doing even a little bit better. I'm not making any timeframe predictions but do you really think we'll *never* understand how brains work the same way we now understand mitosis or electron transport or whatever other intricate biological process?

I think there's an ethical problem with creating minds intelligent enough to do all these things and treating them like slave labor. Maybe AI can be intelligent without being conscious, but that seems like a big philosophical unknown.

I agree thoroughly but we need to also make sure the AIs feel that way about us.
