In this video Professor Pablo Foncillas inaugurates a series on artificial intelligence (AI). To lay the foundation, he explains how many types of AI there are and what characterizes them.
We have the specific one, those systems that are very good at a particular task, like playing chess; the general, which is an AI as intelligent as humans, capable of understanding and doing many complex things, still far away; and a third that we should be concerned about something else, warns the researcher. “It is the most disturbing stage as a society and as a species. It is so because some think that in the future we could have artificial intelligence even smarter than humans,” he says.
In theory, at some point we could surpass human intelligence with the help of computers, leading to super intelligence.
