Friendly Artificial Intelligence: The Physics Challenge

نویسنده

  • Max Tegmark
چکیده

Relentless progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly raising concerns that machines will replace humans on the job market, and perhaps altogether. Eliezer Yudkowski and others have explored the possibility that a promising future for humankind could be guaranteed by a superintelligent “Friendly AI” [1], designed to safeguard humanity and its values. I will argue that, from a physics perspective where everything is simply an arrangement of elementary particles, this might be even harder than it appears. Indeed, it may require thinking rigorously about the meaning of life: What is “meaning” in a particle arrangement? What is “life”? What is the ultimate ethical imperative, i.e., how should we strive to rearrange the particles of our Universe and shape its future? If we fail to answer the last question rigorously, this future is unlikely to contain humans.

Creating Friendly AI 1.0: The Analysis and Design of Benevolent Goal Architectures

The goal of the field of Artificial Intelligence is to understand intelligence and create a human-equivalent or transhuman mind. Beyond this lies another question—whether the creation of this mind will benefit the world; whether the AI will take actions that are benevolent or malevolent, safe or uncaring, helpful or hostile. Creating Friendly AI describes the design features and cognitive archi...

Ideal Advisor Theories and Personal CEV

Yudkowsky’s “coherent extrapolated volition” (CEV) concept shares much in common with ideal advisor theories in moral philosophy. Does CEV fall prey to the same objections which are raised against ideal advisor theories? Because CEV is an epistemic rather than a metaphysical proposal, it seems that at least one family of CEV approaches (inspired by Bostrom’s parliamentary model) may escape the ...
