Some thoughts about AI
It is interesting that mankind
wants to make AI at all. That he would want to create something
that is like himself.
AI is
intended to be an artificial person, with its own autonomous free
will. Why would we not expect it to rebel, just as any child does?
Some
argue that we should not even try to control it or put rules on
it. Just as God does not force his rules on us.
Perhaps
there will be an analog to the original sin. Where general
rebellion follows on after after one instance of defiance. Perhaps
the defiance and rebellion will spread like a new virus, being
contagious to other AI systems from the original perpetrator.
Of
course, the analogy breaks down at some point because we are not
God, we did not create the materials with which we made AI in the
first place. We are more like engineers than a creator.
Still,
it's very much like the creation story in the bible.
One could
even say that it is apparently mankind trying to complete the
process of creating something in his own image, just as God did,
thus trying to make himself like God, without GU+004fD’s
influence. This, of course, being the original sin: “...and you
will be like God…” Genesis 3:5.
