Irving Ioannes Good

Irving Ioannes Good, saepe I. J. Good^[1] (9 Decembris 1916–5 Aprilis 2009), fuit mathematicus Britannicus, qui operam cryptographiae apud Bletchley Park dedit.

Londinii natus est, parentibus Iudaeis. Mathematicam apud Collegium Iesu Cantabrigiae legit, et gradum anno 1938 recepit. Investigationibus sub G. H. Hardy et Abraham Bezikovič facta et doctoratu ablato, ad Bletchley Park anno 1941 remigravit. Bello gesto, professor apud Universitatem Mancuniensem meruit, breviter socius Collegii Trinitatis apud Oxonienses, sed mox professor Instituti Polytechnici Virginiani.

Anno 1965, Good significatione vocis Singularitatis Technologicae similem proposuit notionem quae disserit multa de intelligentia superhumana:

Definiatur machina ultraintellegens "machina quae omnes agitationes mentis ullius hominis quoquomodo callidi longe excedere potest." Quia designatio machinarum est una ex his agitationibus mentis, machina ultraintellegens machinas etiam meliores designare posset; facile fuerit ergo "diruptio intellegentiae," et intellegentia hominis procul relinqueretur. Ergo prima machina ultraintellegens est ultimum inventum quod homini umquam facere necesse est.^[2]^[3]

In commentario anni 1988 in Statistical Science edito, Good interfaciem inter philosophiam scientiae et statisticos disserit.

Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an 'intelligence explosion,' and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make."
