Professor Neil’s lecture titled “Alien Intelligence” was a thought-provoking experience. From his beliefs about the terror of AI attributed to the fast-developing nature of technology to his reasoning that behind the success of AI is the triumph of human beings, I found myself engrossed in a period of reflection and understanding of what the future holds. With the debate surrounding AI overtaking humans, I particularly liked Professor’s emphasis on the term “Alien Intelligence” and how human beings may no longer be at the center but their capacity to think remains unmatched. Listening to impact of AI on our lives seems to instill a sense of helplessness and a sincere hope that we are able to grapple with the self-created dangers as AI continues to grow in the hands of human beings.
