I will do everything in my power to ensure that corporate-backed, ivory-tower, anti-philosophical, techno-enthusiast academics do not figure out some kind of formula to dominate the world of human affairs with their so-called "super intelligent machines". I'm not saying that this specific research group falls under this umbrella, but they are all credited as being associated with Facebook AI research, so take it FWIW. I do believe that a certain Elon Musk would back me up here: "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence. Increasingly scientists think there should be some regulatory oversight maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish. With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon. In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like yeah he's sure he can control the demon. Didn't work out." The classes of algorithms that are meant to directly interact with people in a way that appears authentically human must obviously be highly regulated, and I certainly agree that these kinds of regulations should be on par with international nuclear oversight bodies. It is always important to give end users the option to figure out for themselves how the algorithms that they interact with actually function. In order to encourage this kind of thing, I have been working on an online, distributed operating system concept for the past several years, and one of the apps is a simple, "Hello World" kind of an AI that goes by the name, Bertie. I am working on making the underlying system code (which is mostly JavaScript) completely editable by end users. They will be able to test out their edits in an application window inside of the web page, and will be able to share their changes with each other over the distributed, web-based filesystem that I am actively developing. If you are running Chrome, you can try out the OS by going to https://nacl-pg.appspot.com/ https://nacl-pg.appspot.com/. To see the AI app, just click on the Applications folder, and then click on Bertie's face. Alternatively, if you are feeling lazy, just click on the following link and the Bertie app will automatically open: https://nacl-pg.appspot.com/desk?open=Bertie https://nacl-pg.appspot.com/desk?open=Bertie.
