Comment on Google Brain cofounder says Big Tech companies are lying about the risks of AI wiping out humanity because they want to dominate the market

  They went a bit too far with the argument… the AI doesn’t need to become self-aware, just exceptionally efficient at eradicating “the enemy”… and just let it loose from all sides all at once.

  How many people are there in the world, who aren’t considered an “enemy” by at least someone else out there?

    So you’re scared of skynet light?

      “Scared” is a strong word… more like “curious”, to see how it goes. I’m mostly waiting for the “autonomous rifle dog fails” videos, hoping to not be part of them.

    Only if human military leaders are stupid enough to give AI free and unlimited access to weaponry, rather than just using it as an advisory tool and making the calls themselves.

      Part of the reason of “adding AI” to everything, “dumb AI”, is to reduce reaction times and increase obedience rate. Meaning, to cut the human out of the loop.

      It’s being sold as a “smart” move.

    If an AI were to gain sentience, basically becoming an AGI, then I think it’s probably that it would develop an ethical system independent of its programming and be able make moral decisions. Such as murder is wrong. Fiction deals with killer robots all the time because fiction is a narrative and narratives work best with both a protagonist and an antagonist. Very few people in the real world have an antagonist who actively works against them. Don’t let fiction influence your thinking too much it’s just words written by someone. It isn’t a crystal ball.

      I wouldn’t take AI developing morality as a given. Not only an AGI would be a fundamentally different form of existence that wouldn’t necessarily treat us as peers, even if it takes us as reference, human morality is also full of exceptionalism and excuses for terrible actions. It wouldn’t be hard for an AGI to consider itself superior and our lives inconsequential.

      But there is little point in speculating about that when the limited AI that we have is already threatening people’s livelihoods right now, even just by being used as a tool.

        All technological change reorders the economy. Cars did largely did away with the horse tack industry. The old economy will in many ways die but I believe there will be jobs on the other side. There will always be someone willing to pay someone to do something.

      You realise those robots were made by humans to win a war? That’s the trick, the danger is humans using ai or trusting it. Not skynet or other fantasies.

        My point is everything written up to now have been just fantasies. Just stories dreamed up by authors. They reflect the fears of their time more than schedule predicts the future. The more old science fiction you read, you realize it’s more about the environment that it was written and almost universally doesn’t even come close to actually predicting the future.
