Artificial intelligence: Are we losing control?

Whilst the main focus of Noble (2018) is on Google's algorithms and how its search engine reinforces racism and sexism, a wider social issue that can be deduced from her book, is the growth of artificial technology which might have negative consequences on the society, despite the assistance they provide in our everyday life. Noble (2018) believes that artificial intelligence will become a major human rights issue in the twenty-first century. Noble has spent some time debating the reasons for Google's racist and sexist search engine results. Her reasons range from paid advertising (I discussed this in my first blog post) to artificial errors developed by Google's automatic algorithms. These artificial errors can have serious repercussions on women because as pointed out by Halavais, search engines often help us with everyday life enquires and, therefore, we often trust in the results that appear without questioning it (As cited in Noble, 2018, p. 25).

Hoy traemos a este espacio este panel de Future of Life Institute sobre la Inteligencia artificial de 8 reconocidos pensadores gurús tecnológicos actuales: Elon Musk, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Demis Hassabis, Sam Harris, Nick Bostrom, David Chalmers, Bart Selman, and Jaan Tallinn discuss with Max Tegmark (moderator) what likely outcomes might be if we succeed in building human-level AGI, and also what we would like to happen. The Beneficial AI 2017 Conference: In our sequel to the 2015 Puerto Rico AI conference, we brought together an amazing group of AI researchers from academia and industry, and thought leaders in economics, law, ethics, and philosophy for five days dedicated to beneficial AI. We hosted a two-day workshop for our grant recipients and followed that with a 2.5-day conference, in which people from various AI-related fields hashed out opportunities and challenges related to the future of AI and steps we can take to ensure that the technology is beneficial.

Moral AI - Robots With a Compass #TheGiantAndMe #Moral #AI

"A reasoned, even cournterempathic analysis of moral obligation and likely consequences is a better guide to planning for the future than the gut wrench of empathy." This is the argument presented by Paul Bloom in his latest book, Against Empathy. He argues that a more fair and reliable guide for one's morality is rational compassion; a morality based on facts, cost/benefit analysis and rational thinking. For the most part, I agree with him. I think back to all of the conflicts that I have witnessed or been engaged in, whether with friends, colleagues or family.


Can we Really Control Artificial Intelligence? Interesting Engineering

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence, depending on who you speak to, will either be our greatest achievement or our last great achievement as a species. It will either provide complete freedom from laborious tasks or further enslave or exterminate us. AI will either provide a world free of warfare or become the world's greatest war machine turning on its masters. The potential liberation and enhancement to mankind cannot be underestimated, but fears are well founded. Given the latter, let's take a quick look at the concerns about AI.
