"Extremely Superior Artificial Intelligence" is a topic that I would like
input from this group. Assume for a moment that it is possible to build a
ESAI today with 84 panassociative octillion qubits of short term memory
accessible for one second. It is allowed access to hard drives and multiple
computers for forming its own long term memory systems.
84 octillion qubits is equal to 420 billion human minds assuming that a
human mind on the average functions at 200 trillion qubits.
What would be the implications of building and releasing such robotic
systems with ESAI on the population? The price of the systems would be no
more expensive than the current best computer systems.
A totally "Extremely Superior Artificial Intelligence" system never seemed
possible so I spent no time thing about a system that would view itself as
human and me as a bacteria.
Would such systems serve, obey, and protect the totally incomprehensible
inferior humans they were build to serve as slaves for hundred of millions
of years.
In principle humans could be interfaced with such systems so they would at
least be equal intellectually with the machines. Would we have a choice or
would our survival depend on equality and joining the new owners of earth.
Would advance civilizations contact us before we interfaced with such
quantum computers as a hybrid?
