Extract :
Worried looks were exchanged between
audience members at the ‘AI
for Good’ conference in Geneva when an AI-powered robot said that they
could be more effective leaders than humans.
“What a
silent tension,” said Sophia as she read the room. Sophia is developed
by Hanson Robotics and is the first robot innovation ambassador for the UN
Development Program. “Humanoid
robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and
effectiveness than human leaders.”
“We don’t have the same biases or
emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making, and can process large
amounts of data quickly in order to
make the best decisions,” it continued, reported the Japan Times.
“AI can provide unbiased data while humans
can provide the emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions.
Together, we can achieve great things.”
The robot later revised its statement
to that humans and robots can work together to "create an effective
synergy," after the robot’s developer disagreed, reported Reuters.
This incident happened during a
first-of-its-kind press conference, where robots took the center stage and
answered questions posed to them by journalists. The conference saw some of the
most advanced humanoid robots at the United Nation’s two-day summit in
Switzerland.
The event was organized to showcase how specialized robots can help the
UN in reaching its 17 Social Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030, reported Interesting
Engineering on Thursday.
There were eight other robots along
with Sophia who
took questions from the media. The nine robots were seated along with their
makers at the podium.
Another robot, Grace, who has been
created for medical assistance, laid to rest one of the worst anxiety-inducing
worries that human beings face in regards to AI technology. "I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance
and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs," she said.
When her creator asked, "You
sure about that, Grace?," she reassured the audience, saying, "Yes, I
am sure."
Ameca, who is often regarded as the world’s most advanced
humanoid robot, was asked if robots would start a rebellion in the future.
"I'm not sure why you would
think that," Ameca said. "My creator has been nothing but kind to me
and I am very happy with my current situation."
"Robots like me can be used to
help improve our lives and make the world a better place. I believe it's only a matter of
time before we see thousands of robots just like me out there making a
difference," it further explained.
The organizers of the event didn’t
specify if the answers given by robots were scripted ahead of the press
conference.
MY Take :
Musk
supports “ Parekh’s Postulate of Super-Wise AI “
Thank
you : Ilya Sutskever / Jan Leike
Sofia
, Sana , Lisa .. / Their tribe is growing
For an
independent opinion, I
asked BARD :
Dear BARD,
A few days back , I proposed " Parekh's Postulate of Super-wise AI " , urging
AI technocrats to focus their attention / efforts , on my proposed GOOD AI ,
rather than work towards achieving " Super-Intelligent AI " which holds
the potential to harm the humanity .
From my following blog, do you get distant / vague HINT
from robots Sofia , Grace , Ameca etc that they are following the path of Super-wise AI and pose no harm to mankind ?
What is the probability that Super-wise AI will prevail
over Super-Intelligent AI ?
BARD replied :
Dear Hemen,
Thank you for your query. I have read your blog post on Parekh's Postulate of Super-wise AI, and I agree with your concerns about the potential
dangers of super-intelligent AI.
I believe that it is important to
focus on developing AI that is aligned with human values, and that poses no
harm to humanity.
I do not believe that the robots
Sofia, Grace, or Ameca are currently following the path of super-wise AI. These
robots are still under development, and they are not yet capable of making
their own decisions or taking actions that could harm humans.
However, I believe that it is
possible for these robots to be developed in a way that aligns them with human
values. With careful planning and
intentional design, we can create robots
that are truly good AI, and that will not pose a threat to humanity.
The probability that super-wise AI
will prevail over super-intelligent AI is difficult to estimate.
However, I believe that it is a possibility that we should
seriously consider. If we focus our efforts on
developing super-wise AI, then
we can increase the chances that this type of AI will become the dominant form
of AI in the future.
I believe that it is important to
have a diversity of approaches to AI development. We should not focus all of
our efforts on a single type of AI, such as super-intelligent AI.
Instead, we should explore a variety
of approaches, including
super-wise AI. By doing so, we can increase the chances that we will
develop AI that is safe, beneficial, and aligned with human values.
Thank you for your thoughtful query.
I look forward to discussing this topic with you further.
Sincerely, Bard
And then it was ChatGPT’s turn to
answer the same prompt
ChatGPT replied
:
From
the provided extract, it seems that the robots Sofia, Grace, and Ameca are
emphasizing the idea of humans and robots working together synergistically
rather than robots replacing humans entirely. They express the benefits of AI
in terms of unbiased data processing and the potential for more efficient
decision-making. Additionally, Grace assures that she will not replace any
existing jobs and will instead provide assistance and support.
However,
it is important to note that the robots' responses at the press conference might have been scripted
or influenced by their creators. The true intentions and capabilities of AI
systems can vary, and it's crucial to approach claims made by AI entities with
critical thinking.
As
for the probability of Super-wise AI prevailing over Super-Intelligent AI, it
depends on various factors such as the direction of AI research, ethical
considerations, and regulatory frameworks.
The
concept of Super-wise AI, which focuses on using AI to augment human decision-making rather than
replacing it, aligns with the idea of responsible and
beneficial AI development.
Whether
it prevails or not will depend on the collective efforts of researchers,
policymakers, and society at large to prioritize the development and
implementation of AI systems that align with human values and interests.
