The Importance of Singularity and Artificial Intelligence to People
Should you feel bad about pulling the plug on a robot or switch off an artificial intelligence algorithm? Not for the moment. But how about when our computers become as smart—or smarter—than us? In the case of robots and machines, the answer is no: We don’t want to live in a world where we outsource our thinking to computers or robots. And with AI algorithms, we need to make sure that our systems are built with safety and security in mind This paper examines three interrelated questions concerning the impact that artificial general intelligence will have on human-robot interaction. First, how can we create robots that act as good partners with humans? Second, what forms of existence should be afforded to artificial intellects? And third, how do we ensure that such entities are treated with dignity and respect? The paper suggests a framework for examining AGI ethics that believes that humans must be active participants in any future form of intelligent life and create guidelines for development and deployment of AI agents. Recently published in Guide to Deep Learning Basics, a collection of papers and treatises that explore various historic, scientific, and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence. Borna Jalsenjak, scientist at Zagreb School of Economics and Management discusses super-intelligent AI and analogies between biological and artificial life in his essay titled “The Artificial Intelligence Singularity: What It Is and What It Is Not.”
