There's a whole organization, the Machine Intelligence Research Insitute (Google MIRI) which seems to do little except think about how to ensure that a superhuman AI is "friendly" - which I'm pretty sure is provably impossible. I agree with you there. However, even though it may be impossible to ensure AI is friendly; we should do what is within our power -- as we develop its precursors -- to attempt to improve the likelihood that it will look kindly upon the hairless apes that gave rise to it. Read a few of those essays, by the way; an interesting compilation. Plan on reading some more of them. -Chris Brent On 1/17/2015 2:20 PM, 'Chris de Morsella' via Everything List wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of meekerdb > > Some interesting short essays. > > Thanks, they do seem interesting.
