Intelligence & the artificial: the rush to comprehend an immature automation

We should first recognize three main facts in order to understand how does artificial intelligence (AI) impacts our lives and futures:

1. Today, Humankind has been around hundreds of thousands of years, while artificial intelligence — as we know it — just (66) sixty-six.

2. Psychology Today says, “There is no agreed definition or model of intelligence.” However, Howard Gardner, from Harvard University, developer The Theory of Multiple Intelligences that posits, “Individuals possess eight or more relatively autonomous intelligences.”

3. According to the Cognitive Science Society, “Theoretically, the most fertile approach has been to understand the mind in terms of representation and computation.”

Ergo, we could assume that, opposed to the ‘natural intelligence displayed by animals including humans’, AI can be better understood, shaped, and defined.

In turn, the impact of this new intelligence can be applied to solving the problems that preclude humans’ achievement of the global call to action to “promote prosperity while protecting the planet “ — or Sustainable Development Goals.

However, we must first understand that, human intelligence required millions of years to configure. Also, Machine learning has achieved impressive milestones that can only assert the potential of human-machine coexistence; AI is of critical importance to every future system the upgrade of our social contracts, and (generally) our existence.

Ultimately, intelligent or not, the rush to comprehend an immature automation, has neglected to recognize that we have caused wars, famine, destruction of our environment, harm, etc.

So think about it, are we really intelligent?

As a group, why are we acting as suicidal bacteria?

Are intelligence and the artificial two separate realms, or the beginning of an improved one?
