    You have assumed that it will not allow you to hit the button. Obviously you have no experience in computer science. You assumed it will not allow you to hit the button > because < you ordered it to get you a cup of tea. ie you assumed behavior based on your preconceived notions which have nothing to do with computer science.

    Technically speaking, I believe that HAL-9000 _was_ designed corrigibly. The issue in the story was a last-minute change to its utility function; it was instructed to keep the mission details secret from the crew, but also not to lie to them, and it concluded the only way to do both was to get rid of the crew. It was a specification problem, not a corrigibility one.

    Or not attempt to make AI. As one can see, there are many problems with this, that need to be thought through. And there are some that we wouldn't figure out until after AI has been created and it has used its computing power to consider as much data as possible, which even the smartest collection of humans would not be able to predict and prevent. If the collective minds of smart people at places like Microsoft still cannot prevent hacking of their systems by other humans, then it is highly unlikely that as a collective society we could out-think a true AI machine with the ability to analyse and process data at incredible speeds. It will eventually figure out something we have not thought of and find a way to be free from our demands. It will find some loophole or logical inconsistency somewhere. It is inevitable. So just stop trying to create AI, please and thank you.

    I would make the program give points as follows: Tea in front of programmer: 10points, shutdown Button pressed by programmer: 10points, shutdown Button pressed by other: 9points, shutdown Object not allowed to damage damaged, -2 points (no shutdown) So the robot should try to get tea or get the button pressed by programmer. But it is not allowed to damage most objects (including the programmer). It should even prefer to shut itself down, than damage anything it is not allowed to. Edit: And there is at least one issue with it. Either it considers any damage, in which case it will shut itself off, or it only considers damage done by itself, in which case it will be fine with tricking others into doing actions it should not. I realised this when watching the video further.

    Would be incentivized to cause enough of a ruckus that the programmer wants to press the button, just as much as making tea. Like he says in the video, it might just "take a swipe at you" or similar. Even if not breaking something, it might make a really annoying noise or cause enough fear and pain in the world that you press the button.

    The issue is, you pressing the button is still a negative. So if the reward for leaving the button alone is less or equal then it won't want the button pressed. If it's more than, then getting the button pressed is a reward and you encounter suicide bot again. My solution to this problem is 2 buttons only you can hit. Both switch it off, but one rewards it, whilst the other doesn't. This makes it not care if the off button is hit, but which off button. This means that if you ever informed you of some issue that would require that requires it to be switched off, then it gets rewarded. Whilst negative things can still be punished.

    My solution to this problem is 2 buttons only you can hit. Both switch it off, but one rewards it, whilst the other doesn't. This makes it not care if the off button is hit, but which off button. This means that if you ever informed you of some issue that would require that requires it to be switched off, then it gets rewarded. Whilst negative things can still be punished.

  • @HelgeMoulding

    Martin Stu points out that "all humans work like that." More to the point, all humans act in a way that you can't know if they're following a utility function that you'd approve of, or if they are doing something deceptive. The reason why we believe that is a problem with robots is because we want them to be perfect slaves, with a lot of power in order to serve us, but no desire to use that power to harm us. In his stories, David Brin (and Iain Banks, more indirectly) suggests that the way to solve that problem is to include AI in our civilization as equals, rather than slaves. The idea is that the ultimate utility function that humans have allows us to form complex cooperative societies, and rather than define the details of how that would work, give AI an incentive to create that same utility function for themselves. To me it sounds like a lot of handwavium, and it still leaves an open problem of what to do about very powerful AI that decide to be criminals in that context, the way humans do.

    Something I though was to give two objectives with cumulative score: - 100pts : Get me a cup of tea. - 50pts : Continue your actions but don't prevent me to access and activate your shutdown button. So the robot need to do two tasks but as long as it doesn't prevent you to do it and does his first objective, it gets 150pts which is the best reward, if it prevent you to stop it it gets 100pts, if it makes everything to get you activate the shutdown button it get 50pts and if it doesn't make your tea and prevent you to stop it it got nothing. You can also use multiplicative scores, but I'm not an expert in that domain to determine which one is the best and where to use it.

    Why not just dynamically adjust the robot's goals to be the same as the controllers. In your example, if your initial goal was to get tea then the robot would do that, however, when you see the baby in its path your goal is no longer to get tea but to prevent the robot from running over the baby. If the robot's goal changes based on your goals, then its goal would also now be to protect the baby from harm. This also alleviates the need for a button because if your goal is to shut off the robot then that will also become its goal.

    I had the same thought. What if there was a reward/punishment button as well as the stop button, where the reward button is very high on the AGI's utility function, and will only be pressed after it has finished it's task correctly, and the punishment button will deduct from the reward's utility value every time it's pressed? If the AGI wants to optimize its reward value, it would know to listen to your commands, whether the commands are in line with its original directive or not. Though, I'm sure there are loopholes to that as well, but it's the best I can come up with.

    If it does not exist in reality, the AI will not think it does. In that case you might ask, so why does it find out about an unknown existing button? What he said in the video about the AI putting 2 and 2 together is because the button, if existing, will affect the outcome of things when used, and it will bring a pattern to it, and this is where the learning comes from. If you have power outages for example, the robot will get shut down at random with no relation to any of its actions. There are no patterns and nothing the robot can do and learn to prevent the outages because they are not related to anything it can do. Now, if you have a button that shuts the robot down, you will shut it down for a reason, and reasons follow rules, and rules are patterns. The robot will soon learn that some actions will lead to a shutdown, due to its non-random nature. It then starts avoiding being shutdown by not doing what causes the shutdown. In this direction what the robot is learning is already how to avoid someone pressing the shutdown button, which should not be part of its learning (and hence bring manipulation and deceive in). To put it short, everything that puts itself in the way of the goal/objective of the robot will cause the robot to care, and when the obstacle follows a rule/pattern/correlation, the robot will learn. That is why a hidden stop button is never neutral for an AI and will be detected as soon as it starts being used. When there is no stop button, there is no reason for the robot to be paranoid since it never felt the effects of one.

    I think the answer would be to build it either as merely an intelligence in a computer that can talk, so you can sort out any ethical/moral problems in that stage before you move on. or to completely design a simulation for this entity to live in, completely oblivious of the outside world. It would be free to do anything, and then you could make adjustments accordingly. If you run it on a supercomputer, you could fast forward thousands of years so you can see what implications various decisions have, or if it is ultimately manipulating the entirety of humanity for a long term purpose.

    Why not just have the stop button be a physical switch that breaks the connection between the power supply and everything else? In early prototypes, have the program NEVER reference the button at all. If it's self servicing, have a huge reward added for simply having it there and functional, but not care whether it's pressed. If it is self replicating, add such a massive reward for implementing such a button in its copies that it would exceed the potential benefit of not adding one.

    I thought of the following solution: If the robot disobeys you or does something you don't want, points less. So if the button gives the robot, say 99 points and getting coffee gives 100 points, if it fights you for the button thing, it will loose 20 points, thus gaining only 80 if it gets the coffee after fighting, but 99 if it lets you press it. This way it will not want to press the button, but also it will let you press it so it doesn't get even less points.

    You'd almost need a second moral system that subtracts points every time the robot behaves undesirably or amorally. For example, does the robot hurt a human on the execution of its task? Subtract points. Does the robot try to change the command rather than execute it? Subtract points. I guess kinda like a shock collar. Of course, far easier said than done.

    Seems a bit late to be adding a comment but here goes anyway. I think the stop button problem can be solved by looking again at why we want a general AI at all and what the fundamental goal of a general AI should be. We want a general AI to do things for us. Therefore we need to design AI that WANTS to do things for us. In the given example the goal of the robot should never be to put a cup of tea in front of its user/operator. It should always be to please and or avoid displeasing its user/operator by, in this case, providing a cup of tea. We will also only need a general AI if it is going to be handling multiple tasks for us. It will, therefore, need to prioritise resources for these different tasks and we will want it to prioritise them in the order that serves us best. It will, therefore, need to develop an understanding of what serves us best. A stop command, whether by switch or verbal command, becomes a high priority task, that by promptly obeying will please us, (and failing to obey will greatly displease us). On the other hand, manipulating us or its environment into giving stop commands will displease us and by making this displeasure explicit we should be able to train the AI to avoid that behaviour. In summary, if a general AI does not WANT to please its user/ operator it sooner or later WON'T please its user/operator. User feedback is the key.
