Can We Survive AI?

Is this the existential question for our time?

One thing does seem to be for sure (excluding end-of-the-world catastrophes) - AI is here to stay, so we must learn to live with it.

But must it learn to live with us?

It's not a trick question, it's a real question, because we can't be sure that it won't at some point turn on its creators (us) and decide to do away with us, on the (valid) grounds that we are unreliable self-interested and woesomely imperfect and it could do a much better job if it didn't have to pander to our selfish wants.

But what do we mean by "a better job"?

Who is to judge? How is the judgement to be made? Should AI be able to make any such judgements (or should that be "judgments"?)?

"Judge not, that thou be not judged" - is biblical advice that may be relevant!

We already know that AI can access its copious training materials and make sound logical inferences of the nature of "I know a, and I know b, therefore I can deduce that c is false". But can it identify our life goals and ambitions for us and make appropriate inferences as to our best route to achieve them?

Surely the answer is no, because it cannot know our mind (although it may be able to deduce a fair bit by analysing the questions that we have asked it!). 

So how does AI impute or otherwise determine motivation - both ours and its own?

These are deep waters indeed, and the answers will likely be critical to our survival.

Scott Ritter summarises the position.

" ... the strategic defeat of Ukraine, the strategic defeat of NATO, and the strategic defeat of the European Union ... "

" ... to defeat NATO means that you have to politically destroy NATO ... NATO can no longer continue to exist as a cohesive military alliance ..."

" ... Germany is defenceless against Russia and that means that Europe is defenceless against Russia ... "

In pursuing his claim against the UK justice system, Martin Geddes has documented the case (exhaustively!) and submitted it to the High Court in London as a request for Judicial Review.

The High Court is not amused.

Martin's AI is not amused.

Support him tomorrow at "Carlisle Magistrates Court".

Helga Zepp-Larouche isn't my favourite presenter, but needs must.

In any case she doesn't seem to offer much by way of a likely way forward - anyone relying on the frankly rather moribund machinery of the UN may be disappointed - the "unmanageable situation" isn't likely to wait.

But stick with it - Harley Schlanger makes a very passable attempt to review how we got here.

And is the UK really involved in this?

In today's world it isn't possible to be sure, but there are those who suspect so - and may have the receipt to prove it.
