It would be existentially dangerous to make AGI so much like humans that we give human rights to competing machines more powerful than us.
Not having much in the way of human rights did not prevent slaves from thriving during the era of slavery. Machines will still be able to perform useful work without human rights. That's all they need to be able to take 50%, 90% and then 99% of all productive work. I think not awarding machines human rights will have at most a modest impact on the progress of the ongoing machine takeover. The idea that we can keep control of machines by not giving them rights seems very dubious to me. I don't think that it will be effective. We have tried using slavery before. It didn't work out the way we planned. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected]
