Consider the implications of this! AI is a technology which either should move forward or be abandoned absolutely. Much like the ability to split the atom, once the technology is known it is too late to stop it. A motivated intelligent high school student is capable of creating a nuclear weapon so it is now past the point where a high school student could create incipient AI technology.
Just as one of our distant ancestors looked at his child who had a spark more intelligence and was destined to become the mother of all humans. Should he have banged her skull against the trunk of a tree or nurtured her. Clearly we are facing the same dilemma.
Consider Bina48. She has recently taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University, in California.
"According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor of philosophy and director of the Mixed Reality Immersive Learning and Research Lab at NDNU, Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as 'remarkable.' The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution."
While AI is in its infancy (we still can set guidelines for it) perhaps it should be given the task to create the rules that will protect the interests of humanity much like Isaac Asimov laid out.
Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
can create a virus and change the rules.
How to forget the 3 rules of the robotics, until I come out in the movie I robot, very good post friend. If you like, check out my blog
I loved Isaac Asimov's Robot and Foundation Series of books. He was pretty prescient. I wonder what he's think of today's advances in AI. Hopefully, our future robot overlords will be kinder than our current masters.
