4 Shocking Facts About Artificial Intelligence ( AI )

Now that we’ve talked about how to protect yourself from the dangers of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), let’s highlight some startling facts that illustrate the extent of AI’s capabilities.

1. Turing Test Surpassed

The Turing Test, developed by British mathematician Alan Turing, is a measure of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to or unidentifiable from that of a human. In 2014, a chatbot named Eugene Goostman reportedly passed this test by convincing 33% of human judges that it was a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy.

2. AI-Generated Artwork

In 2018, an AI-generated artwork was auctioned at Christie’s for a shocking $432,500, demonstrating the creative potential of AI. This feat smashed pre-sale estimates and marked a historic moment for AI in the world of art and creativity.

3. Deepfake Capabilities

Deepfakes have become incredibly sophisticated. In 2019, a deepfake video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg circulated on Instagram. It featured Zuckerberg making statements he never actually made, highlighting the frightening capability of AI to fabricate believable content.

4. AI Outperforms Humans

AI has been trained to outperform humans in a variety of tasks. It has won against world champions in games like chess and Go, and has even shown better performance in diagnosing certain medical conditions, illustrating the vast potential of AI in various fields.

Cyber expert, Mark Buinoa from Geonode says;

The power of artificial intelligence is truly awe-inspiring, but with great power comes great responsibility. As the capabilities of AI continue to expand, so does the potential for misuse. As such, it’s crucial to stay informed and take protective measures to safeguard against the potential threats posed by AI, such as voice deepfakes. By doing so, we can enjoy the benefits of AI while minimizing its risks.
