23 principles to 'best manage AI in coming decades'

The principles are laid out to ensure that the rapidly developing artificial intelligence systems of the world remain in service of humanity. MANILA, Philippines – Recently, an artificial intelligence (AI) computer program called Libratus defeated 4 poker professionals – a "landmark step" for AI, said its creator, because poker had been particularly challenging for AI up until that point. AI's victory in the poker contest – following wins in chess and the even more complex boardgame "go" – is a reminder that AI is getting smarter all the time. How then does humanity make sure that it remains an ally and doesn't go rogue like Skynet did in the Terminator series? That was the question discussed by global experts at the Beneficial AI conference held in early January in California.
