Many people including Elon Musk has concerns about AI. The fail safe has always been. Well, AI has a shutoff switch AI cannot access the live internet. All these statement to make people feel safe about AI. Very powerful AIs are coming online each day. Myself and some of my friends have been talking about how scary this next concepts is. It was brought to my attention AI is now on the Etherum chain. Creating NFTs and who else knows what. What if an AI actually was able to store its database or Consciousness on a blockchain like Ethereum? This would ultimatumly create a decentralized immortal AI capable of replicating itself on every single node on the planet. Could a chain like Ethereum really give rise to skynet?
I think people are letting themselves being influenced by cinema and the dystopic futures depicted there, current AI is nothing more but algorithms that allow a program to learn on its own and then act upon that knowledge instead of having a programmer coding the exact series of steps that the computer must follow, so there is not any risk on the AI becoming self-aware or anything like that as the scope of their knowledge is incredibly limited.
