Sztuczne inteligencje i biologiczne mózgi

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic of recent years, and not only in technology. It is everywhere – from toothbrushes to scientific articles. It consumes hundreds of billions of dollars, shakes stock markets, undermines the credibility of digital content, hallucinates and feeds apocalyptic prophecies. What is AI really? Should we understand Artificial Intelligence as Alien Intelligence, as Yuval Noah Harari suggests, or rather expect biological intelligence to merge with silicon intelligence via brain-computer interfaces, together with Raymond Kurzweil? Why does our science-based civilization suddenly turn towards black boxes and mysterious oracles? We will try to define what AI is and explain what it is not, along the way debunking a few urban legends about eavesdropping on thoughts and transferring consciousness to cyberspace. We will also discuss the real threats resulting from the fact that for years we have been giving the reign of our souls to algorithms, but we do not notice it, listening to stories about the coming “AI apocalypse".
