Yet Our Mathematical Universe is nothing if not impressive. His conclusions are simply too far removed from the frontiers of today’s mainstream science, and there is little hope that conclusive evidence will emerge anytime soon. Tegmark’s mathematical universe will ultimately be deemed an Einsteinian triumph or a Cartesian dead end. The first one called “ Our Mathematical Universe“ explores Tegmark’s thesis about the mathematical nature of reality. His research span physics, cosmology, and machine learning/artificial intelligence. He is also a co-founder of the Future of Life Institute. Max Tegmark is a professor at MIT and the scientific director of the Foundational Questions Institute. Implications of rising AI capabilities are explored in Max Tegmark’s book Life 3.0 - Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence will have significant consequences for humanity, having in mind that, for the first time in human history, there is a possibility that technology will surpass us in intelligence. At least that’s what Facebook researchers did in this case.įear of the unknown has followed new technologies since first humans evolved from monkeys. And, what do you do with others you don’t understand? You shut them down (this is a joke, of course). Researchers were not able to understand them anymore. But, after some time, they gave up on English and developed their own language, using English words combined with newly developed grammar.

They were negotiating about the allocation of resources like books, hats, and balls, over and over again. Alice and Bob were not humans, but artificial intelligence bots made by Facebook Research. The conversation became more intimate when Bob stated: “you i everything else”, and Alice insisted: “balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me”.

Somewhere in Silicon Valley, Alice and Bob were talking.īob said: “I can i i everything else”, to which Alice replied with: “balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to”.
