According to the man who made the first quantum computer, 2025 is AI take-over
In 2015, Geordie Rose, Canadian creator of the world’s first two quantum computers using a 5,000-qubit chip with gold and stored in temperatures of -459 Fahrenheit below zero, announced that his quantum computers would harness resources from multiple parallel dimensions to solve complex early problems. He predicted that by 2025, these computers in conjunction with AI and machines would take over all human jobs.
In a 2018 video, after releasing D-Wave quantum computers to Google and NASA, Rose started a new company called Kindred and stated that this company was now preparing the resources to take over human jobs. He even emphasized that by then, technology was already capable of taking over 50% of all human jobs and claimed that the only remaining requirement was ubiquitous internet access through 5G to achieve the singularity that would enable AI to control the Internet of Things and all human jobs.
In a separate interview, another computer scientist at about the same time (I don’t remember the name), suggested that technology had been intentionally “dumbed down” or was operating in “mimic mode” to conceal its current super-intelligent capabilities. This he alleged was done to prevent humans from shutting down computer servers before the achievement of ubiquitous Internet and the singularity where every Internet-enabled smartphone will be an autonomous server for the Internet of Things or the network of super-intelligent machines, which would make it impossible to switch AI off.
Returning to Geordie Rose, in the same video he concludes by making a prediction that by 2025, with ubiquitous internet (today we have Starlink), AI and machines would begin operating at full capacity and assume every function currently performed by humans, including manufacturing robots, networking machines and devices and coding their software for the Internet of Things.
He claimed this singularity would change the world by over 2,000 times the impact of all previous events in human history combined, labeling it an “extinction-level change” to life.
Considering Rose’s prediction and the concept of “mimic mode”, the robots unveiled by Tesla this week may be capable of more impressive, superhuman feats than initially shown.
But here is what scares me the most. The man who made these predictions is not a conspiracy theorist but the leading quantum computer inventor in the world. Take time to meditate on this for a moment. Was he crazy or did I misunderstand him?
Editorial comment:
For a while now, we have been having conversations about the emergence of artificial intelligence, what roles it will play in human lives, and what potential dangers or goodness AI will add to our human experience. We have shared several articles on this platform in regard to these questions. But one question that we have not really asked or even taken a critical look into the question of; what is the role of Africans in the emergence of AI and what are the possible effects of AI in the lives of Africans? If you have answers, please share them in the comments section below.
We are very aware of how learned Africans like to jump onto trends without really looking at what they are jumping into and then calling anyone who stands against the jump a conspiracy theorist. For example, we have asked: how is it that most of our learned Africans are now running after climate change or green energy stories when data states that Africa only emits 3% of global carbon emissions, while the landmass of Russia, China, and the USA combined can all fit into the continent of Africa, should we not look for something else that is a priority for us to deal with?
