| 总结: | Will artificial intelligence (AI) dethrone the human as the premier exemplar of intelligence? How critical is intelligence to our sense of what matters—to our religious traditions, to our most deeply held beliefs, to our understanding of our place in the cosmos? Recent advances in AI raise serious challenges to our understanding of these and other ultimate questions. It is argued that while current AI systems excel at a kind of calculative rationality, deeper levels of human judgment remain far beyond technical implementation. To understand the situation, though, requires rejecting the traditional framing of the debate in terms of a “human” versus “machine” dialectic. Instead, we need to develop a nuanced map of intelligence’s kinds, in terms of which to ask what kinds of intelligence AIs have at the moment and are likely to have in the future, and what kinds people have now and what kinds we are likely to develop in the future. |
