The Hawking Fallacy. The Hawking Fallacy describes futuristic xenophobia. We are considering flawed ideas about the future. Stephen Hawking, Stuart Russell, Max Tegmark, and Frank Wilczek inspired me to define the Hawking Fallacy. They wrote an article warning of possible threats from artificial intelligence. Their fallacious reasoning generated a substantial amount of publicity, mostly uncritical. My emphasis of Stephen’s name will be an enduring warning against the folly of succumbing to prejudice regarding artificial intelligence. The prestigious name of Hawking has the power to harm AI.
Unsurprisingly in addition to his AI terror, Stephen is afraid of aliens. Defensive plans could be made if aliens informed us they were approaching, but defensiveness against aliens is irrational. Travelling to Earth from an alien solar system would entail extremely sophisticated technology. In the not too distant future there are plans for humans to land on Mars.
