Josh asked, >> Who could seriously think that ALL AGIs will then be built to be friendly?
Children are not born friendly or unfriendly. It is as they learn from their parents that they develop their socialization, their morals, their empathy, and even love. I am sure that our future fathers here of fledgling AGIs are all bacically decent human beings and will not abuse their creations. By closely monitoring their creations development and not letting them grow up too fast they will detect and signs of behavioral problems and counsel their creations tracing any disturbing goals or thoughts through the many monitoring programs which were developed during their initial learning period before they became concious. -----Original Message----- From: J Storrs Hall, PhD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [agi] Religion-free technical content Beyond AI pp 253-256, 339. I've written a few thousand words on the subject, myself. a) the most likely sources of AI are corporate or military labs, and not just US ones. No friendly AI here, but profit-making and "mission-performing" AI. b) the only people in the field who even claim to be interested in building friendly AI (SIAI) aren't even actually building anything. c) of all the people at the AGI conf last year who were trying to build AGI, none of them had any idea how to make it friendly or even any coherent idea what friendliness might really mean. Yet they're all building away. d) same can be said of the somewhat wider group of builders on this mailing list. In other words, nobody knows what "friendly" really means, nobody's really trying to build a friendly AI, and more people are seriously trying to build an AGI every time I look. Who could seriously think that ALL AGIs will then be built to be friendly? Josh No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
