FargoFan: Where are we going, where do we want to go, how to control it and remain in control?
Stuart Russell is delivering this year's Reith Lectures. We've have lurid predictions in the past but here is a thinker speaking about it. What do you think?
Here's the first of them - there are four, but surely they deserve careful scrutiny.
First, I googled “Reith” lectures; read up a bit on Lord Reith, BBC commentator. I must say you have high eclectic hopes starting this threadStuart Russell is delivering this year's Reith Lectures. We've have lurid predictions in the past but here is a thinker speaking about it. What do you think?

the subject matter is as varied as flower types— just where would one begin? Perhaps you could choose a particular lecture in this genre, and have folks start from there…like, “In what direction do you ( readers) see the recyclables/bio-degradables movement heading?” Otherwise, there’s no focus point, no compass.------ This thread is Archived ------

@cc I find it hard to make a connection. With you this is a common reaction!

FargoFan: AI is the focus
Thank you. You understood what I meant. Perhaps I’m in the minority ( or not) but I am inclined to reject, or at least be reluctant, to embrace AI. It has very dark repercussions, in my view. ie, —-“artificial intelligence” is an oxymoron in my opinion.------ This thread is Archived ------
How can humans ensure they stay in Charge, retain power, when the General AI machine is vastly more intelligent. If intelligence is the ability to achieve purposes... Then limits need to be set.
In the fourth lecture he refers to three 'laws' or preferences he has adapted from Isaac Azimov. AI systems and the control problem
1. The machine should choose actions favouring the human race. Eliminating humans should be out of scope! Machine altruistic and intended to realise human preferences.
2. Machine is uncertain about what the preferences are.
3. Human behaviour. Preferences reflect what we do and don't do.
And the machine always allows us to turn it off!
I don't know how I would program any of these!
