While Artificial Intelligence was born prematurely in an era that treated it with skepticism, it overcame the challenges and now boasts of a present where machines perform highly specialized tasks. A few decades more and we may have Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – machines that are capable of human-level performance on full range of tasks that at present we only can tackle.
But have we accounted for what this progress entails? The future prospects of AGI have led to a marked divide in the scientific community. On one hand, we have the Progressive Scientists who support AGI, and on the other we have the Ethical Scientists who consider the flight to be as perilous as that of Icarus. The Progressive Scientists have maintained a cavalier attitude towards the fear expressed by the Ethical Scientists and have dismissed it as the fear of “unknown”. They realize little that this doubt stems out, not from what is unseen but out of what exists. A look at the history shows that humans are themselves far from being reliably human-friendly. We do many terrible things to each other and to many other sensitive creatures with whom we share the planet. If super-intelligent machines can’t prove to be a lot better than us, we’ll be in deep trouble. We’ll have powerful new intelligence amplifying the dark sides of our own fallible natures. Given how catastrophic the consequences could be, the disdain with which the Ethical scientists view the future of AGI does not seem misplaced.

Water is pumped into the completely empty tank at a constant rate through an inlet pipe. At the same time, there is a leak at the bottom of the tank which leaks water at a constant rate.

In a certain linguistics school there are totally 250 students. Of those 250 students, 40 percent study French as a foreign language, 30 percent study German as a foreign language and 50 percent study Spanish as a foreign language.

A book shop sold a set of Harry Potter books to a book collector for 40 percent more than the store had originally paid for the books. When the collector tried to resell the books to the store, the store bought it back at 50 percent of what the book collector had paid. The shop then sold the book again at a profit of 70 percent on its buy-back price.

A chemical factory produces two kinds of unnatural amino acids: acid A and acid B. Of the acids produced by the factory last year, \( \frac{1}{3} \) were acid A and the rest were acid B. If it takes \( \frac{2}{5} \) as many hours to produce acid B per unit as it does to produce acid A per unit, then the number of hours it took to produce the acid B last year was what fraction of the total number of hours it took to produce all the acids?
