Brandon Rohrer, Tim Finin, Pat Hayes on 2012

This AI Prediction was made by Brandon Rohrer, Tim Finin, Pat Hayes in 2012.

Predicted time for AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

(Hover for explanation)Types of advanced artificial intelligence: AGI (AI that can perform many tasks at a human-level), HLMI (more advanced AI that surpasses human intelligence in specific areas), and Transformative AI (AI that could significantly impact society and the world)

Assuming no global catastrophe halts progress, by what year would you assign a 10%/50%/90% chance of the development of roughly human-level machine intelligence? […]Brandon Rohrer: 2032/2052/2072Tim Finin: 20/100/200 yearsPat Hayes: If by ‘human-level’ you mean, the AI will be an accurate simalcrum of a human being, or perhaps a human personality (as is often envisioned in science fiction, eg HAL from “2001”) my answer would be, never.

Opinion about the Intelligence Explosion from Brandon Rohrer, Tim Finin, Pat Hayes:

that probability do you assign to the possibility of a human level AGI to self-modify its way up to massive superhuman intelligence within a matter of hours/days/< 5 years?[…]Brandon Rohrer: < 1%Tim Finin: 0.0001/0.0001/0.01Pat Hayes: Again, zero.

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

Experts were asked to predict the year when there would be a 10%, 50%, and 90% chance of developing human-level machine intelligence assuming no global catastrophe. Brandon Rohrer predicted 2032, 2052, and 2072 respectively. Tim Finin predicted 20, 100, and 200 years respectively, while Pat Hayes believed that human-level AGI would never be achieved.

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

What probability do you assign to the possibility of human extinction as a result of badly done AI?[…]Brandon Rohrer: < 1%Tim Finin: 0.001Pat Hayes: Zero. The whole idea is ludicrous.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Experts were asked about the probability of human extinction due to poorly designed AI. Brandon Rohrer assigned less than 1%, Tim Finin assigned 0.001%, and Pat Hayes assigned zero, stating that the idea is ridiculous.
