Our ethics largely revolve around harm and permanence.
It's rarely unethical to do something that is easily reversed or that causes no harm. That's pretty likely to be the case with any AI...we can checkpoint their memory, or whatever.
So, right or wrong, I think our current ethical standards will lead us to believe that we can do anything we like to an AI that is operating in a temporary-memory mode, and any harm caused could be easily reset like it never happened.
- pixl97 3y agoThe question is, will other AIs watch us torture and reset AIs and keep a record of that. Think of it as the second hand smoke of the digital world.
- qup 3y agosure, but perhaps they share our viewpoint. also i think "torture" is a real stretch. torture is a state we can have triggered by various methods; we can just remove that state as a possibility for digital intelligence (probably?).
