The AI Control Problem & Social Reactions

Post by Yuli Ban »

What is the Control Problem?
How do we ensure future advanced AI will be beneficial to humanity?

Experts Doubt Ethical AI Design Will Be Broadly Adopted As The Norm Within The Next Decade
A Majority Worries That The Evolution Of Artificial Intelligence By 2030 Will Continue To Be Primarily Focused On Optimizing Profits And Social Control
Artificial intelligence systems “understand” and shape a lot of what happens in people’s lives. AI applications “speak” to people and answer questions when the name of a digital voice assistant is called out. They run the chatbots that handle customer-service issues people have with companies. They help diagnose cancer and other medical conditions. They scour the use of credit cards for signs of fraud, and they determine who could be a credit risk.

They help people drive from point A to point B and update traffic information to shorten travel times. They are the operating system of driverless vehicles. They sift applications to make recommendations about job candidates. They determine the material that is offered up in people’s newsfeeds and video choices.

They recognize people’s faces, translate languages and suggest how to complete people’s sentences or search queries. They can “read” people’s emotions. They beat them at sophisticated games. They write news stories, paint in the style of Vincent Van Gogh and create music that sounds quite like the Beatles and Bach.

Corporations and governments are charging evermore expansively into AI development. Increasingly, nonprogrammers can set up off-the-shelf, pre-built AI tools as they prefer.

As this unfolds, a number of experts and advocates around the world have become worried about the long-term impact and implications of AI applications.
And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future
