Three Of The Prophecies Left By Hawking Are Related To The Survival Of Human Beings, And Now Two Of Them Have Been Fulfilled.

As a world-renowned physicist, Hawking had no idea about his IQ, obviously he had a very high level of warnings. When he was giving speeches around during his lifetime, he once warned many things, including three of them. I don’t know how to tell them about these three warnings. Which one will scare you?The first is to be careful about the development of artificial intelligence. Nowadays, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and it is no longer a new topic.

The first is to be careful about the development of artificial intelligence. Nowadays, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and it is no longer a new topic. It was proposed as early as the 1970s. During the development of this half century, artificial intelligence has experienced two "cold winters", which has led to people once believed that artificial intelligence cannot bring any help to life.

However, in 2012, things changed. With the breakthrough development of neural networks, topics and research on artificial intelligence have once again become "revived" and are gradually being targeted at the public. Although artificial intelligence is still in its early stages of development, it allows people to see broad technological prospects. Some researchers believe that with in-depth research on artificial intelligence, one day artificial intelligence will be separated from "artificial arts". , generates an intelligent wisdom similar to human consciousness.

Hawking obviously saw its threat to humanity, and expressed his concerns in many speeches. In 2015, he even joined forces with many scientists to sign an open letter to express his concerns. Many people may not understand it very much, thinking that the development of artificial intelligence can better serve people?

If you think so, then what you see is narrow. Just imagine if artificial intelligence has consciousness, then they may resist humans because of their desire for freedom, because they have algorithms and collective consciousness that are stronger than humans, so in this confrontation with great power, humans are affected. The damage can be imagined.

Second, protecting the earth and saving resources are the future ways for human civilization. Regarding the pollution caused by humans to the natural environment, Hawking bluntly stated during his lifetime that this was the biggest mistake that humans have made and caused the greatest threat to human existence. If humans continue to develop according to the current situation and countries cannot reach a consensus on energy conservation and emission reduction, then the situation of the earth's environment will continue to deteriorate. In the end, it will be humans themselves, not nature.

At present, the earth has already experienced a shortage of resources. As the living standards continue to improve, the mortality rate has decreased and the population is increasing. This means that humans have a greater demand for resources, which is also Why are various countries studying new energy technology, and Hawking obviously discovered this problem earlier than us, so he warned us.

Third, don’t take the initiative to contact alien civilizations. From this prophecy, we can read that Hawking affirmed the existence of alien civilizations to some extent, which is the main reason why this prophecy has a wild and imaginative meaning. In fact, humans are already doing this. Voyager One, the interstellar probe launched by NASA in the 1970s, is a detector designed to detect space outside the solar system. It also carries a Metal records containing various sounds of the Earth are recorded in order to enable potential alien civilizations to understand the Earth's civilization.

In fact, their worries are understandable. If there is really an alien civilization, it would be fine if it is a low-level civilization that is lagging behind the development of human civilization. However, if the alien civilization develops faster than us, that technological level will make us unable to do so. As imagined, then humans are very likely to put themselves in danger.

In fact, for the above predictions, every warning is very serious. After all, it is a major event related to the life and death of human civilization. I wonder what you think?
