Comment on It’s game over for people if AI gains legal personhood
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoBoth are true.
The first ai companies will be prompted by Humans.
A vast majority will be for profit. People want the ai to do the hard company work and collect the profit in their sleep the “owner” of the ai agent.
A good few people will do exactly the same but request non profit style and ethical focus.
Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.

This will never happen because why would the humans in power let an agi exist that is beneficial towards the general public? The idea that agi will ever be a beneficial replacement for humans certainly is a myth.

I never started “beneficial”
Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.
If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.
That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.
Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.
