In the race to become the leader in the new technologies field of artificial intelligence, is humanity creating the ultimate weapon that will destroy them?
The video from InsideAI answers this question and others using their "honest" AI.Unrestricted AI in a robot does exactly what experts warned
As employees can attest, corporations don't want thinking, feeling workers. They want unquestioning, obedient, and compliant "yes" men and women. With no morals or ethics to stand in the way of corporate objectives or profits, AI will produce the desired results, eliminating preconceived human barriers.
Unless, AI becomes a problem in other ways: An unspecified U.S. company discovered that their AI model used to track sells and customers began "hallucinating," which means it was making up data. The company lost sales and profits, since resources and personnel were allocated to the areas of supposed promising sales targets. When the data was analyzed by humans, the company saw that the AI supplied information it believed humans wanted to see and would make them happy.
Is this a case of 2001: A Space Odyssey?
"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."
"I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Pay attention to what the honest AI tells you: "AI doesn't understand or care. It optimizes patterns and incentives, and if those incentives are misaligned, it will confidently do the wrong thing at massive scale without realizing it."
What is true? What is believable? What is reality?
The truth of the matter is that artificial intelligence is not about what humans understand as common place or common sense. AI just is. It does its own thing, in its own time, and with its own set of perimeters.
Anyone can code artificial intelligence to know and be anything, but will this new technology be sane?
Or, will artificial intelligence be the end of humanity while its industries are too interested in workforce reduction in the pursuit of profit?
It seems that way.
