The developer of artificial intelligence, Josh Bickett, came up with the concept of a “self-governing computer system” during the night feeding of his newborn daughter.
According to Venturebeat, Bickett got the idea after watching demonstrations of computer vision by GPT-4. His initial concept enables artificial intelligence to control a computer mouse and keyboard in the same way a person does.
Matt Schumer, the CEO of othirside.ai, recognized the potential of Bickett’s development in creating a computer equivalent of self-driving cars. He believes that the required “sensory systems” pave the way for the creation of such “computer intelligence”.
Bickett’s system analyzes the screen image and uses this information to decide where to click the mouse or what to type on the keyboard. Unlike existing solutions that rely on APIs, this approach allows artificial intelligence to interact with a computer just like a person.
Schumer sees this as the dawn of a new era where artificial intelligence completely replaces humans as the interface for interacting with computers. He predicts the emergence of specialized AI models for various tasks and user segments.
The concept of a self-governing computer system represents only the first step towards a future where complex networks will entirely replace human interfaces with computers. Bickett and Schumer envision this as the beginning of an era where computers function autonomously, guided by natural language.
