Why AI is a dangerous dream
- lawfulfalafel 17y agoI believe this man has let the past failures of AI give him a dark view of its future.
- roundsquare 17y ago> There is no way for any AI system to discriminate between a combatant and an innocent. Eh? Why not? Your saying you can't use some sort of NN algorithm trained on past videos of combat situations to learn this? I realize that we'd need to be VERY sure before we deploy anything, but its definitely possible.
- clistctrl 17y agoHow does a human do it now? I imagine it would be a lot more like that.
- dmm 17y agoA human doesn't do it with a computer.
- roundsquare 17y agoI don't know if we could do it the same way, but we could possibly learn things from how humans do it now. E.g. if one metric is "is the person holding a gun?" then machine vision software to identify guns might be useful.
- billswift 17y agoI thought this might be something like Eliezer's arguments against developing a GAI until it could be made provably Friendly AI, instead I just got an argument exactly like the ones in 1903 that said heavier than air flight by men was impossible - go back and read some of them, some of the arguments were almost identical. Some of the arguments are currently true, but some of them amount to "I can't do it, and no one else has done it, therefore there must be some fundamental reason it can't be done".
