AI needs thousands of pictures in order to correctly identify a dog from a cat, whereas human babies and toddlers only need to see each animal once to know the difference. But AI won\u2019t be that way forever, says AI expert and author Max Tegmark, because it hasn\u2019t learned how to self-replicate its own intelligence. However, once AI learns how to master AGI\u2014or Artificial General Intelligence\u2014it will be able to upgrade itself, thereby being able to blow right past us. A sobering thought. Max\u2019s book <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2rJ1YZE\">Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence<\/a> is being heralded as one of the best books on AI, period, and is a must-read if you\u2019re interested in the subject.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Max Tegmark:<\/strong> I define intelligence as how good something is at accomplishing complex goals. So let\u2019s unpack that a little bit. First of all, it\u2019s a spectrum of abilities since there are many different goals you can have, so it makes no sense to quantify something\u2019s intelligence by just one number like an IQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right now, AI can\u2019t tell the difference between a cat and a dog.
