Scenarios of Possible Future with Artificial Intelligence

The article examines the problems of understanding modern technological progress and the picture of the world as a whole using the example of the approach of the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom to the problem of the coexistence of machines based on artificial intelligence and humans. Everyday machines become more and more talented in areas in which they were not expected to actively rise, in the field of creativity: writing texts, creating images, videos, and music. In addition to the obvious economic problem of developing such a powerful tool in a market economy, scientists and philosophers are increasingly talking about gloomy future scenarios with artificial intelligence spiraling out of control. Bostrom primarily tries to convey his concerns about the creation of superintelligent machines. Their motives and goals will be unknown to us as living people, but Bostrom suggests that regardless of the ultimate goal of an intelligent actor, in the process of achieving it, he can, while fulfilling his intermediate goals, destroy humanity. At the same time, Bostrom considers various scenarios for living together with machines based on artificial intelligence and suggests ways to transfer human values to machines. In this article, we will look at the likely unobvious motives of artificial intelligence, which may have a detrimental effect on humanity. Bostrom offers us several likely scenarios for explosive, slow, or moderate development of artificial intelligence, considering the most likely scenario to be an uncontrolled takeoff into a singularity that will lead us to destruction. To continue a safe life together, humanity must stop research and only when states are ready to cooperate, and scientists and philosophers can jointly find a solution to the problem of creating safe artificial intelligence, we will have to continue research.
