Journal Article
IF YOU THINK AI WON'T ECLIPSE HUMANITY, YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST A HUMAN
2021
Overview
If that is the case, then scary AI will continue to make great movie fodder, but will never actually arrive. Since that definition would not be especially useful in policy discussions about choosing the best track for development of the technology, this Article will use the following. Since 2012, the number of connected devices has increased from under 9 billion to over 50 billion.16 This figure includes devices that previously were not connected to the internet, i.e., not things like computers and smartphones.17 So, about the time when it became apparent that the internet was unsecure (if not unsecurable), the collective decision was made to connect all the things that make modern life possible-refrigerators, utility grids, thermostats, etc.-to the internet! In the case of AI, most of the dire scenarios sketched out take the form of either killer robots powered by malevolent AI or AI that becomes so advanced that, while not actively evil, simply determines people are too insignificant to be relevant and acts in ways that crush the human race.18 The concern about dangerous AI led experts in the field to release an open letter warning ofthe risks ofusing AI in offensive autonomous weapons \"beyond meaningful human control. In an interview about his position, Stephen Hawking warned that advanced AI might wipe out humanity.21 Hawking was worried less about actively malicious AI than he was about AI that might kill humans incidentally in pursuit of benevolent (or at least not malevolent) ends.22 Musk, on the other hand, seems to fear actively malevolent AI turning weapons or tools it controls on its human creators in a bid to terminate the species.23 The Muskian concern presupposes that, by design or otherwise, the AI has the ability to set or interpret its own goals.24 Perhaps the most effective way to address this concern is to ensure AI has no ability to directly control strategic weapons systems.
