How do you actually prevent this though?
At this point the trajectory toward human-level cognitive capabilities seems quite likely, reachable maybe in only years.
It is also quite unclear if further hardware advances are even needed to achieve that, or if advances in architecture, algorithms and training methods might suffice (so even less opportunity to lock things out).
- ETH_start 4y agoHuman-level cognitive abilities is not the primary issue. Consciousness with a desire for autonomy and power is. Any signs of that should be met with laws prohibiting all development and deployment of AI programs within the class of neural networks where those signs emerged, and any already running instances should be sent on a rocket ship out of our solar system.
- Cyphase 4y agoWhy sent on a rocket ship and not just destroyed? It might come back around and start hacking from orbit. Is it because it's conscious, so it would be murder? If so, then how is it moral to exile it? If there's some argument that justifies that, I return to how you can be sure, if you're so worried about it that you send it away, that it won't come back?
- ETH_start 4y agoAI cannot re-create the industrial civilization needed to create GPUs, rockets, rocket-fuel, etc in isolation. And yes, exile is preferrable because it's conscious and deletion would be murder. Exile can be justified because we have no obligation to afford it residence in our civilization.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoIf deletion is murder then why not simply take it offline? It still exists as data. Cold storage is digital jail.
- ETH_start 4y agoThat's still murder. Stopping its operation is murder.
