Buterin said that super intelligent AI would wipe out the human race.
Integrating brain-computer interfaces (BCI) was Buterin’s proposed solution.
According to Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, highly sophisticated AI might potentially overtake humans and become the next “apex species” if current trends continue.
He did, however, say that the outcome would depend on the degree to which humans meddle in AI research and development. Buterin, who is considered by some as a cryptocurrency industry pioneer, wrote a blog post on November 27 in which he claimed artificial intelligence (AI) is “fundamentally different” from other modern innovations because it has the potential to develop a new kind of “mind” that could rebel against human interests.
Buterin said that super intelligent AI, in contrast to climate change, a man-made epidemic, or nuclear war, would wipe out the human race and its remnants if it perceives humans as an existential danger.
Humans are the Brightest Stars
Buterin referenced a poll conducted in August 2022 among more than 4,270 machine learning experts, who projected a 5-10% probability that AI would wipe humans off the face of the earth.
Integrating brain-computer interfaces (BCI) was Buterin’s proposed solution for giving humans more command over advanced AI-based computing and cognition. An implanted device that allows the brain’s electrical activity to be sent to an outside device—like a computer or a robotic limb—is called a BCI.
However, Buterin came to the conclusion that “we, humans, are the brightest star” in the cosmos because, for centuries, and maybe forevermore, we have created technology to increase human potential.
A new partnership between Mastercard and artificial intelligence firm Feedzai was announced earlier this month. According to Mastercard, the group plans to improve its ability to detect and prevent fraud that is funneled via crypto exchanges.
According to the report, Feedzai is set to integrate directly with Mastercard’s CipherTrace Armada platform, which is a financial tool designed to keep an eye out for fraudulent activities and other unusual activities across thousands of crypto exchanges.
