‘AI won’t outstrip mankind that soon,’ Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg tells China Development Forum
Innovation will spark huge progress in artificial intelligence within 10 years, Zuckerberg and Jack Ma tell economic summit in Beijing
Innovation will lead to huge progress in artificial intelligence, but computers are not going to outstrip mankind any time soon, two of the world’s internet moguls, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Ma, said in Beijing on Saturday.
“I believe we’ll have computers that can process the world and understand senses, from vision to hearing, better than people can over a five to 10-year period,” Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, told the China Development Forum. “But they don’t need to be smarter than everything.”
AI technology demonstrated by the recent Go games between Google’s AlphaGo computer program and humans had captured the attention of people around the world, he said.
The games had sparked discussion over whether computers would defeat humans some day.
