Intellection

Artificial neural networks modeled after biological neural systems have progressed dramatically in the mid-2000s, enabling the multi-layered learning that is the key to deep learning. Deep learning, which involves viewing the subject from the whole to the details, by linking macro and micro perspectives, has actually produced remarkable results as a learning method for artificial intelligence. The development and manufacturing of specialized processors has also made progress, bringing dramatic evolution to technology in all fields.

One reason why the performance of artificial intelligence, which has been rapidly growing, has achieved a dramatic development in recent years, is that learning data used for calculations for each layer of deep learning has been distributed in large quantities to the spread of the Internet. It may have been that social flow, technological innovation, and the new ideas of researchers, coincidentally synchronized. Artificial intelligence could not achieve remarkable results simply through theory, it’s evolved around the methods and elements that make its fundamental theories concrete.

Artificial intelligence will continue to perform various intellectual behaviors on behalf of humans, and the development will continue to progress. It is also effectively used to understand language such as translation, as well as inference and consideration of various events and solving problems. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, expected that by continuing to teach his philosophy and lifestyle to a dedicated device, it would be able to continue to talk to people living on his behalf, even after he was gone. Because what Steve Jobs dreamed of was having a conversation with Aristotle.

From the perspective of human evolution, the rise of AI is undoubtedly going to make our daily lives more convenient and more efficient, but it’s also, of course, going to bring with it a lot of risk of dependency. Humans have updated their lifestyles, behavioral norms, and social ethics in various ways. And that’s what’s humanity has thrived greatly, and will surely continue to flourish. But it’s questionable whether the lives of each individual have been transformed into a peaceful and healthy one in proportion to the prosperity of the human race. To put in extreme terms, all life has a time limit, and it seems that it cannot be overcome. However, paradoxically, if there were no time limits in life, perhaps each and every individual would stop trying. Because we can’t find meaning in effort itself. The very fact that wild animals are living day to day in exchange for life, and what this means is that living is about standing up and grabbing. Liberal democracy guarantees the survival of the individual, but fundamentally man must be a creature who must stand up and walk. If you live, you will experience great failures and suffer irreparable damage. In the case of animals, at worst, they would give their lives to their predators. The purity of the animal’s destiny when it’s being hunted is even divine. There is a paradoxical reality that humans can only find ways to move forward successfully by suffering difficulties. Because as long as we’re alive, we cannot escape from failure, and it’s our intelligence that truly help us recover from this pain.

Because we have a limited life, we must hone our intelligence for tomorrow. Intelligence is almost the only light that can find hope for tomorrow, even if our life will terminate.
