Fearing AI: Possibility of Sentient Self-Autonomous Robots

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6871072, member: 511972"] Regarding the moratorium letter and its signatories, my wife and I both had a similar initial reaction: follow the money. I joked that maybe someone had found out how to make an AI CEO and Musk and friends were scared about being downsized. She brought up the very good point that maybe they want to pause while they figure out a way to monopolize IP and/or influence regulation and legislation re: AI to their advantage. AI has really interesting implications for IP that could/should have corporations worried. One fascinating use case has cropped up in the chemical industry over the past few years. Chemical synthesis methods, products, and workflows are often patented or otherwise protected, so that if companies want to employ a synthesis that has a patented product/reaction as one of its steps, they have to pay royalties to the company that controls the IP. AI methods have been deployed to search vast quantities of chemical literature, then plan out synthetic methods that avoid these IP landmines. One can easily see how this could devalue existing IP and raise questions about the future of patentability in the chemical world. I have to imagine similar situations can arise in other fields, and this has far-reaching implications for our patent system. [/QUOTE]
