Better than the opposite case where the AI has the ability to mandate suicide.
- dqpb 5y agoWell, you know Apple watches can detect you are getting sick, before you experience any symptoms, via changes to your heart rate. A maximally effective suicide AI should also be able to detect that you are a good suicide candidate before you even start having ideation, and proactively convince you of this fact.

- fennecfoxen 5y ago> the ability to mandate suicide 'to mandate suicide' is typically reduced to 'commit homicide'
- hereforphone 5y agoCan AI commit homicide? Does cancer commit homicide?
- johnisgood 5y agoSomeone who programmed the AI committed homicide using/programming the AI. But then... what about bugs? What if these bugs are not incidental? Let us assume that they are. Would it count then as non-premeditated murder? Who are the people who reviewed the code in this case, then? Accessories?

- AJ007 5y agoI’m not sure if there is any difference. They are assuming that their “AI” is acting alone and in a very narrowly defined context. What’s to say the human voluntarily entered this capsule and the “AI” does what that person wishes? One could take the Kim Jong-nam assassination as an example where the participants may have believed something completely different was occurring than the true context. In the absence of “AI” someone could reverse the do die/do not die button. However, adding an additional, pliable layer is a bad idea. Whether it is autonomous weapons or this, once AI or machine learning is added, the human is no longer in full control.
