I am of two minds.
On one hand, I understand how a non-evil person could think this way. If one assumes that AI will eventually become some level of superintelligence, like Jarvis from iron Man but without any morals and all of the know-how, then the idea of allowing every person to have a superintelligent evil advisor capable of building sophisticated software systems or instructing you how to build and deploy destructive devices would be a scary thing.
On the other hand, as someone who is always been somewhat skeptical of the imbalance between government power and citizen power, I don't like the idea that only mega corporations and national governments would be allowed access to superintelligence.
To use metaphors, is the danger of everyone having their own superintelligence akin to everyone having their own AR-15, or their own biological weapons deployment?
- mitthrowaway2 2y agoI think the scenario where only governments and mega corporations have access to super intelligence offers at least an extra three months before human extinction. So, that's arguably a benefit.
