Wozniak believes that artificial intelligence that could take over the creative thinking of the people, is the force with which will have to fight.
"I agree with Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, who said that the future of humanity can be grim. Sooner or later, like-minded people a device conceived to facilitate our lives will begin to understand that they are better. Who will then become the management company - slow man or machine?" - Said Wozniak.
Previously, its concern over the emergence of intelligent machines were of British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and successful entrepreneur, founder of SpaseX and Tesla Elon Musk. Last likened the work on artificial intelligence with an appeal to the demon. "As in the stories where the characters of holy water draw a pentagram and cause it. They are confident that they can control the demon, but it did not work" - said Musk. He is of the opinion that the machine must be limited, not giving them complete freedom of development.
Steve Wozniak, in turn, said that in relation to the thinking machines sees itself as being inferior. "Will we become gods, or, conversely, take a seat pets? Or down to several degrees below, turning to artificial intelligence to something like ants? I do not know for sure, "- he added.
Steve Wozniak is one of the most important figures who have launched Apple. Together with Steve Jobs, he founded and created computers Apple I and Apple II. In 1981, Wozniak had an accident on his plane. As a result of the crash, he received retrograde amnesia for the first time decided not to return to work at Apple, where he was vice-president in charge of research and development. 12 years after the founding of the California Corporation, February 6, 1987 Wozniak once again retired from Apple, this time for good.
Wozniak is still listed employee at Apple, and even receive a salary, as if it was a stake.
