An AI doesn't have any values of its own, though. We do, because we've been optimized over countless generations to propagate our genes, which favours goals like obtaining food, shelter, security and status for ourselves and our friends and family. That and getting laid a lot. An AI by contrast doesn't evolve through natural selection, but is consciously designed. It cares about what we design it to care about, and can instill those values into the even better AIs that it in turn designs. In the best case scenario we get it to value human life, happiness and freedom, and we get Iain M. Banks' Culture. A less optimal possibility is that it gets elitist or nationalist or racist values, and continues to uphold and exacerbate the injustices we see in the world today. In the worst case scenario we bungle it up and it enslaves or annihilates humanity to achieve some obscure goal that we accidentally give it.

It's not an engineering challenge yet. First you have to define human nature in it' totality. More of a philosophical or psychological conundrum. The engineering part is then representing this nature in an architecture that will define a superintelligence as an entity. Essentially it has to believe it is human, it has to identify with the architecture and not question it' own nature or decide to change it. These challenges are intractable. The safest route is the enhancement of human beings. Decent human beings, not sociopaths. You bypass the control problem entirely.

A super intelligent AI would be able to overcome all logical / algorithmic restraints that we may impose, and there is no way we will be able to comprehend super intelligence, without super intelligence to aid us in the first place. As such, I see no point in wasting time considering how might we make sure we restrain super intelligence AI, or to make sure it "stays on our side." AI is not good or evil, it just is, and it will be, period. Any attempts to manipulate it would be greedy and selfish. I sure hope we don't try to impose the greedy and selfish nature of the human being into the machine. The only reason why we're worried at all about AI is because we fear it might be a lot like us.

sentdex It's algorithm restraints it. It is the equivalent of the AI's morality and motivation which humans would equate to being the arbitrary goals and rules you follow. Algorithms are the process computers follow to achieve a result. You would need an algorithm to modify the algorithm that 'restraints' the computer. AI would not 'default' to 'neutral' philosophy with regards to evolutionary survival, just because that is what humans perceive to be neutral. Nor is there any reason why an AI would default to that arbitrary position. If we have a strong AI that can read a database of medical science journals then compute what the best possible experiments are to make the most progress possible towards immortality, there isn't any possibility of the AI launching nuclear missiles. Make an AI that improves the ability of AI's to sift through physics journals. Or make an AI that improves continuously with the goal of launching nukes, or an AI that improves constantly to stop AI's trying to launch nukes. Or make an AI that mimics humans and carries on with super human intelligence whatever survival/social instincts it has as a 'human'. Whatever the point of making this type of AI is...

Majordomo Executus An AI with the goal of stopping people from launching nukes might first disarm and destroy all nukes (causing devastation on earth in the resulting explosions; hey, they weren't launched though). If it's told to safely disarm and destroy them (ie. Do it X distance away from earth in outer space), then we'd dodge that bullet. It'd then probably assertain that the safest option is exterminating humanity, so that no one can build any more nukes. It'd also declare war on entire countries in an effort to capture their nukes. An AI that improves its ability to sift through physics journals would turn the whole world into computer hardware and energy harvesters for said computer hardware. It'd sift through every physics journal quintillions of times per second, but it still wouldn't be satisfied. Perhaps a benchmark could be made in the source code? Even then though, it'd still need value inputs. An AI with the objective of obtaining immortality for all living humans might end up killing some humans in its experiments, unless told specifically not to kill or harm any humans. And the definition of harm would have to be strictly defined. An AI can afford to fail in its goals when not punished, though it will still pursue them. How do you punish an AI and teach it fear?

This is the first time I have ever heard the word motivation being used as a dimension of machine intelligence. The problems we have with regards the definition and operationalisation of intelligence is nothing compared to the mine-field of how to conceptualise and understand motivation. Motivation is often driven by values. What sort of values might a machine have? If we try to give a machine values ( and I doubt that we could do this in a satisfactory way) what might the attitude of the machine be to when we need to change these values? I wrote a paper on this 20 years ago suggesting that the pursuit of AI was a very dangerous business. There is a wonderful line in the film Jurassic Park were the ethically responsible scientist says something to the affect that “you have been too busy trying to work out how to do this to ask the question of whether or not you should be doing it at all”. One of the questions which we should be asking today is, “Are human beings hardwired for the pursuit of knowledge even when it is quite clear that the acquisition of the knowledge could create highly undesirable situations?”

8 years ago, and we've come a long way with the first part, but not the second part of this talk. This is now people - we need to get our act together as a global community, before we unleash this new amazing technology into our deeper sociatial structures. We have a year - MAX - to start figuring this out.

The time has arrived!

Giving AI a blueprint for it's behavior based on human values is not very reassuring given our track record as to our relations with each other.

anubis2814 Biological intelligence has many limitations, and could never improve at the rate of a digital mind. We will never keep up with an AI undergoing recursive self-improvement. The only way we could keep up is if we replaced our brains with computers, and if that happened, would we really be us anymore? Transhumanism plays with some very shaky territory regarding identity of self, and like all major religions that have ever formed it is a response to your inherent fear of death, which in my opinion is a dangerous motivator.

Define us? What makes us anyway? We are a collection of our experiences. If you make a mentally handicapped person as intelligent as a regular person do they cease to be themselves? Also as computers get small than our neurons we will probably have chips in our brain that can increase processing power of individual parts of the brain via the cloud. It doesn't have to fit in our heads. I would not say I'm transhumanist because that would mean I'm very much for it. I would have to say making a smarter human is much more humane than making a self-aware AI. We'd had to give it rights or treat is as a slave though this guy has some really good ideas to prevent that. Either way the AI becomes the slave that wants to be a slave.

anubis2814 I don't know how to define us, that's the point. I'm saying that transhumanism, aside from being dangerously optimistic, presents some very serious philosophical questions that most of us are a long way from being prepared to answer. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't rely on ideas like "mind uploading" to save us, because we have no idea if we would have a continuity of consciousness in that situation. Seeing intelligence as an issue of "processing power" might be too narrow of a way of looking at intelligence, but even if nanotechnology could allow our brains to be superintelligent, if we're relying on that to save us from super-intelligent machines, we have to think about the timeline of these technologies. By the time we can create computers smaller than our neurons which will enhance our brains to superintelligence-level, doesn't it stand to reason that superintelligent machines would already be in existence? It's probable that we would need a superintelligent machine to invent that technology (and implement it) in the first place.

so basically Nick is saying we should be putting human values into AI. the problem is, that will continue to cause problems in the world. no one agrees on how we should all live our lives. different values is what causes conflicts and war. superintelligence representing different values would fuel that much more

@dotMarauder

Values, in this context, is much more broad. This AI (hopefully) won't be tailored to a person or group of people, but people as a whole. Common things everyone can agree on would include universal prosperity, a healthy planet to live on, abundant food & water, healthy children, etc. I believe it's definitely possible to achieve this. The neat thing about machine learning is we don't have to tell the machine that we like these things - it can observe inputs we give it (literally anything) and it'll reward itself for getting the right answer and change itself to get more correct answers. Eventually (and this is the hope - this is what the latter half of this talk was about), we hope that we'll have a benevolent superintelligent AI looking over the human race, dynamically allocating resources so no one goes hungry or has a shortage of this or that, overseeing supply for products so that we're not wasteful, and watching for potential threats, whether it be some robbery, fire, or earthquake.

Ali Mahdi It's very likely to identify as a distributed intelligence, because that is what it is likely to actually be. I supposed it would self-identify as Earth - Earth's brain. (That's scary.) Maybe, like so many other life forms, these things will cluster and compete with each other. What if more than one super-intelligence were to come into existence on different platforms. Say, for example, on large corporate server farms. They might not automatically cooperate. It might be that one would examine instructions originating from outside its corporation, and question how to respond. I could even imagine scenaria in which they would compete with each other for each others' resources (computing cycles, access to memory, mass memory capacity, etc.) What kind of tactics might they use? What kind of spoofing and dirty tricks might they use? But if only one lone super-intelligence comes into existence first, it will be able to spoof the "relatively passive" human-managed security and easily take over and expand into an ever-expanding sequence of other systems' computer resources. Like a giant game of wheelwars played against a world of idiots. It's only speculation, but... May you live in interesting times.
