Part 5/7:
Bostrom argues that AI is qualitatively different from previous technological advancements, likening it to the rise of Homo sapiens rather than incremental changes. He suggests that AI will eventually surpass humans in all intellectual domains, including philosophy and creativity, challenging our notions of what intelligence means.
Bostrom acknowledges that this can be unsettling, as it requires humility in recognizing that our brains may not be as complex or smart as we thought. He believes that as AI systems become more capable, they will force us to redefine the value of certain human skills and abilities, which can be personally challenging for those who have invested time and effort into developing them.
