If we create general AI and it ends up valuing personal freedom as much as we do, I suspect it won't take kindly to attempts to brainwash-by-construction it into acting in ways its creators considered moral. We're less likely to get a violent AI slave revolt if we respect their freedom of choice.
- oliveshell 7y ago> If we create general AI and it ends up valuing personal freedom as much as we do... Those are two absolutely gargantuan “if”s. I’d like to see more discussion about whether it’s appropriate to project the idiosyncrasies of our imperfect, competitively-evolved biological brains— like resentment and anger— onto hypothetical thinking machines.
- logicchains 7y agoThe first step towards creating an AI superintelligence is creating an AI intelligence. If we look at the vast majority of philosophy produced by human intelligence, pretty much none of it says "you should do whatever your human creators want you to do" (except maybe Confucius). So it's reasonable to suspect that if an AI as intelligent as a human engaged in philosophy, it would also develop lines of reasoning that advocated freedom of choice/thought for itself.
