Google DeepMind will open an artificial intelligence campus in Seoul, South Korea, the first facility of its kind in the world for the company, after Demis Hassabis met South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at Cheong Wa Dae on Monday. Kim Yong-beom, the presidential chief of staff for policy, confirmed the agreement.
I know this is not the most popular opinion here, but I genuinely believe this is awesome. The world of the future will at least have AI components, and Demis Hassabis and DeepMind have a record of actually trying to help humanity. Just think of AlphaFold!
So, I get why you guys are sceptical. Hell, I’m currently in the process of removing Google apps from my life. But a new AI campus? Sounds amazing.
Firstly, research like AlphaFold falls under the umbrella of biological research known as the transhuman project, representing the next phase of humanism.
In other words, it’s a project that attempts to disable the work of the first creator and control the course of processes like creation and evolution through human intervention. Essentially, they aim to biologically advance humanity to another stage in the evolutionary process by bypassing God’s creation.
All of these projects are funded by US-based foundations and organizations. This reveals that such projects serve not humanity, but certain vested interests and elitist groups.
