In a book On the future of artificial intelligence, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) professor Max Tegmark proposes an absurd and terrifying scenario: if we were not able to accurately transmit our objectives, the machines could adopt their own objective very far from our interests. , like transforming all the atoms in the universe, including those in our own bodies, into metal clips. Criticized for the extravagance of its purpose, the mechanical mind could be excused because it was trained by observing its creators. In recent decades, human intelligence has achieved an unprecedented expansion of the species thanks to the use of ingenuity to, with terrifying homogenizing efficiency, convert other living beings into food to sustain more humans and into products to make them happy. more pleasant life. That species, whose ancestors had critical moments in which there were just over a thousand individuals, it already represents 36% of all the mammals that exist. Another 60% are animals like cows, raised to feed people, and only one 4% are wild animals.
