 We've all thought about this at some point of time. You're sitting at your desk and you're like, I wonder when I'm gonna lose my job to some damn robot. It doesn't matter what your job is. It's more of a question of when you'll lose your job, rather than if you'll lose your job. We're gonna take a look at projections on how long it will take to achieve high-level machine intelligence, HLMI. A time when robots will be able to perform every task more economically than human beings. This time till HLMI was determined by serving a group of individuals who published in NIPS and ICML, Top Machine Learning Conferences, in 2016. So we know we're getting the opinions of the best of the best. Just a disclaimer, these are just projections and not the absolute truth. So don't come to me when you don't have your flying car by 2047. Here are some numbers on HLMI. There is about a 50% chance we'll reach the state of high-level machine intelligence by 2061, 43 years from now. Interestingly, Asian researchers predict it'll be much sooner than later, about 30 years from now, while American researchers say the same will happen much later. While HLMI is defined for how well a robot will perform in tasks in general, it's also interesting to see its consequences on employment. How long would it take for a machine to do every person's job better and more economically than human workers? So here's some projections. 20 years from now, machines will become as good as the best retail person. In 30 years, they get the qualities of a top journalist, so much so to write a best seller. It'll take them about 35 to 40 years to perform successful surgeries. It's about 85 to 90 years to take the job of an AI researcher. And finally, over a period of 122 years to take all jobs. So we have some interesting milestones here. But at what pace will these machines evolve for time? Will we see a gradual increase in their capabilities through these 120 years? Or at some point in the middle, will we see some burst in AI technology? Well, according to these researchers, the burst will take place shortly after HLMI. And this is known as the intelligence explosion. It is in this time that AI will be vastly superior to human beings in performing all tasks. While this advancement is welcome to many, it is important to keep in mind the risk in such evolution. About 48% of these researchers agree. This is also probably why we're seeing more videos and content and blog posts on AI safety. You can't raise an AI as you would raise a kid. It's just not the same. But as long as we're aware of such risks involved in advancement of AI and technology, we should be fine, right? Well, whatever you think, just leave your comments down below. How off or on point do you think these projections are? Personally, I think they're much shorter than expected because I can't imagine in my lifetime some robot coming up to me and just while I'm working and say, Salutations, I can do your work now.
