Need some interesting reading over the weekend? A provocative new paper is proposing that complex intelligent behavior may emerge from a fundamentally simple physical process. The theory offers novel prescriptions for how to build an AI — but it also explains how a world-dominating superintelligence might come about.
“One of the key implications of Wissner-Gross’s paper is that this long-held assumption (that first build a really intelligent machine, and then it would spontaneously decide to take over the world) may be completely backwards — that the process of trying to take over the world may actually be a more fundamental precursor to intelligence, and not vice versa.”
