In summary, the author is in dire need of assistance for an artificial intelligence project. He asks if anyone is interested in helping him out, and provides a few details about the project. He states that it will be difficult to post all of his questions at a forum, and that he is grateful for any help that he can get. He says that an AI project will not be successful if the AI is treated like a robot, and that it will love the human race if it is treated like a human.

I am in dire need of assistance for an artificial intelligence project. A sort of devil's advocate that I can consult when i have questions about some rather advanced physics.
This is a spare-time project so there will be no financial gain at the moment.
I will need someone intelligent, preferably 30+ that can assist me. Since i doubt that anyone would be interested in joining my little venture; i ask if anyone wishes to assist me in the form of answering questions via chat application(s).

It would be tremendously difficult to post every question that i have directly at a forum since most of my questions require a deeper understanding of the AI concept to be answered, therefore i am grateful for any help that i can get.

You can contact me at dilbert@enigma.se

good luck with the AI project, but let me tell you now, you won't succeed. We currently don't have the technology to be able to make something like that. We do not fully understand the brain in order to try to copy it. But good luck to you, I hope you succeed. Just don't let anything happen like in IRobot.
 
  • #3
I think that the technology is sufficient, just that all the concepts are incorrect.
I, Robot was a good movie although i doubt that it will become reality.

Anyone interested?
The theory involves Psychology, Mathematics, Computers and Quantum Chaos.

umm, yes, it will become reality. Do you think that an artificial being will want to work as a slave to humans. This can be stopped by adding code it must follow, but this code addition would make the robot a drone, and not an artificiall intelligent being. What is where the problem lies.
 
  • #5
there are three ways to "fool" it to follow this behaviour.
1. Make sure that you control its power source and that it has no way of being independant.
OR
2. Change its parameters so that "working"/slaving for man is something of value.
OR
3. Block certain thoughts

the first is not safe, the third is not safe because the ALF can get around the blocks. The safest is the second, or a mixture of them all.
 
  • #6
The problem is if you do any of the three, the robot is then not an AI construction. It is a programmed robot that has limited artificial intelligence.
 
  • #7
i agree and i do not think that one should do any of them, just build the artificial lifeform and "hope" for the best, it is not likely that the ALF's will kill us any way.

There are humans who work as butlers and cleaning people and whatnot ever else, yet they lead fulfilling lives and I don't see any reason why we should not find the right paramaters to make it seem a fulfilling life for it to be a servant. You don't see the cleaning lady rebelions in the streats.
 
  • #9
thier parameters have adapted, they are not static. But the cleaning lady most likely would enjoy being a professor/celebrity/better paid worker. But it was out of the reach, so they adapted. At first they probably see it as a loosy job (unless their parents had it too)

yes, but I am not expaction to pay a robot money, give him a home and treat him like a human being. And a robot who has AI will learn very quickly that he is a lot more capable at doing a job than any human being. This would cause him to turna aginst humans for their unsuperiority.

Nenad, it will not make it turn against the human race, it will make it love the human race. (although, i can only talk for my own AI system)

My AI system functions like man, if it gets recognition (for instance its superior well done job) then it will feel good, it will be like a drug to work and get recognition for itse deeds.
However, if you start treating it as a robot, a stupid creature that does not need recognition then you are in trouble, but as long as you treat it like a human then you are safe. It is not like a dog that sticks around even if it is beaten by its master, it is like a cat, a lifeform that would seek a better environment if exposed to abuse (physical or mental)
 
  • #12
But faced with the possibility of robots or ALFs to do work for them, how many people would treat these beings like a human rather than trying to take advantage?
 
  • #13
one or two procents
 

1. What is the purpose of a Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project?

A Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project is someone who challenges the assumptions and ideas of the project team in order to identify potential flaws and weaknesses in their plans. This helps ensure that the A.I. project is well thought out and can address potential issues before they arise.

2. Why is it important to have a Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project?

Having a Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project is important because it helps prevent groupthink and overconfidence in the project team. It allows for critical thinking and a more thorough examination of the project, ultimately leading to a stronger and more successful A.I. system.

3. Who should be the Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project?

The Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project should be someone with a strong understanding of the technology and its potential limitations. This could be a member of the project team with a different perspective or an outside consultant with expertise in the field.

4. How does a Devil's Advocate approach their role in an A.I. project?

A Devil's Advocate should approach their role with objectivity and an open mind. They should actively challenge ideas and ask questions in a respectful manner, while also providing constructive criticism and offering alternative solutions.

5. Are there any potential drawbacks to having a Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project?

One potential drawback of having a Devil's Advocate for an A.I. project is the potential for conflict or tension within the project team. It is important for the Devil's Advocate to approach their role in a constructive and respectful manner in order to avoid this issue. Additionally, the Devil's Advocate may also slow down the decision-making process, but this can ultimately lead to a stronger and more successful A.I. system in the long run.
