The AI development process continues.

One remarkable thing in modern innovations is that. AI and computing are in the middle of those systems. The difference is this. In the past, computers were only auxiliary systems. In modern systems. Computing is in the middle of the systems. That means those systems are a combination of mechanics that advanced computer programs called AI control. That requires adaptation and a new way to think. 

When progress stops, we must ask why. That is one of the things that we always forget. When somebody stops progress, there must be some reason for that. And what is the reason? We always hear tales that the supreme leaders give orders for stopping projects, or some lawmakers make laws that deny the use of new things. The problem is that we forget to ask why the old thing seems better. 

The main problem with AI development is this: when those systems and algorithms can do something new. The idea is taken from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. When somebody creates something new, that need that was satisfied will be replaced by some new need. The need for R&D process starts when somebody notices a new need. And then some other actor must respond to that need by making and satisfying the new need. 

This means that computers require more and more power. When the AI and computers can make something new, a new need arises for the system to do. If the customer feels that they need new tools, they will buy new machines and programs. Then the skill-scale expands, requiring new and more effective ways to compute. That means more effective microchips and more effective systems. 

The new tools should make processes easier to control, but for some reason, the innovations face resistance. When a high leader orders to stop a new project, the question is why that person makes that kind of decision.  The problem with that kind of way to think is that there are also other leaders, leaders who have different goals and different ways to think. 

When we look at things like AI and other things, we always see dystopian visions. That’s why we want to stop AI development. The arguments for that thing are sometimes very good. But the problem is that the person who gave the warning will begin his own AI development project. 

And there are always people who resist AI, because it has the ability to operate in the military field. But then the next step is that we are not prepared for the situation that some other governments are interested in, especially this and its military applications. 

The fact is that we are in the middle of the break. Old-fashion tools and actors are stepping away from people’s eyes. Actors like Intel that dominated microchip production 30 years ago are falling. And their challengers from the U.S. and other nations are rising. That means there are new actors who want to get leading positions in AI development. And why AI development is so important. AI is the soul of the machine. Everything that a robot can do depends on those tools. 

The ability to respond to needs is vital in the modern marketing ecosystem. 

The new technology called General-purpose computing on graphics processing units, GPGPU or GPU compute, means a system that delegates missions that traditionally belong to the CPU to the graphics processors. Those kinds of abilities are raising many visions in front of our eyes. That makes it possible to develop computers where main operations happen in the GPU. This technology makes it possible to create autonomous robots with complicated mission modules. 

The problem with killer robots is that somebody makes them. Somebody wants to change warehouse robots into general-purpose terminators. The problem with robots is that they are multipurpose tools. The same robot that operates in warehouses can also operate on the battlefield. This is the new type of threat. But the problem is that nobody controls AI development. Even if there are some rules in the Western world, there are always governments that don’t have the same values. Those governments' prime objective for AI and its use is to use it as a control tool.

The problem with the human operators is that they can turn rebellious. But in the same way, machines can rebel. If some hackers can put the wrong programs in those systems. There is a theoretical possibility that a hacker can attack the robot army, and then turn those robots against their masters. Or somebody can slip a combat program in the computers that control warehouse robots. Robots are not toys anymore. They are systems that can make many things. 

And one of them is to go to war for humans who made them.  When we make decisions, we must remember that we live in the Western world. Not all people live in countries where laws and values are like those we are accustomed to. Some leaders think differently from our leaders.  Denying things doesn't end their existence.
