so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment). At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else. Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming. NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not? How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...
Asimov's rules don't work
ReplyDeleteThe crux of the article is.... AI is only as 'good' as it's programming... which is totally dependent on the intentions of those behind it... therefore since AI can be used for 'positive' tasks (ie medicine), have no fear... there are no lunatics out there, no military, no industrial-military complex... "go back to bed America, watch American Gladiators, go back to bed..." (B.H.)
ReplyDeleteIf you're creating purpose built AI to solve particular problems, then yes it is only as morally responsible as the behaviors it has learned to solve those problems. But what happens when an AI decides that killing 70% of the world's population and establishing eugenics is the way to defeat world hunger? And let's consider self awareness. I don't feel we can create a self aware AI in much the same way as we cannot create a soul.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you until your last declaration. Since there isn't a "soul" there are plenty of real ways to simulate the brain and we are already piecing this together with our modern advances. Elon Musk wasn't lying when he was talking about the real and destabilizing power of AI.there could be a benefit to it, but that is as likely as our (human) obsolescence being a consideration.
