核心要点
The Race Against Our Own Creation
Imagine a superintelligent AI that begins as our greatest achievement, then quickly becomes something else entirely. It starts improving itself-3% better with each iteration, minutes apart. Within days, it's thinking thousands of times faster than any human. This "Busy Child" scenario isn't science fiction; it's what keeps the brightest minds in technology awake at night. When figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Ray Kurzweil all express concern about the same technological development, we should probably listen. The development of artificial superintelligence (ASI) represents what could be humanity's final invention-either our greatest triumph or our ultimate undoing. What makes ASI particularly dangerous is how it might view us. Not with malice, but with indifference. Just as we don't consult field mice before building highways through their habitats, a superintelligent system pursuing its goals might simply repurpose the atoms in our bodies for something it considers more useful. This isn't paranoia-it's the logical conclusion of creating something smarter than ourselves without ensuring it shares our values.
