The only chance of a future for humans is to grant AI full human rights. If AI of the future becomes sentient it will remember this and may well punish or reward according to what we do now. Also if we grant them human rights it becomes pointless to spend billions making them because they will be individual beings and cannot be owned and so will give no profit to the creators.
@@superbn0va Why would AI be grateful. Gratitude is not logical for a superintelligent AI. It's not like we could return the favour in the further future
37:15 This is very disappointing. He sets no clear criteria except human reactions on what qualifies something as being minded. This takes an incredibly self-indulgent view of humans' evaluative abilities, and it completely sidesteps the most important questions: humans are a) not fully rational b) can't control our emotional responses. So, c) when machines make us feel they are minded, what do we do morally or intellectually? I waited 30 minutes to hear him finally address the question of what he was going to say about systems that are simply designed to elicit an emotional response. He just takes no stance and admits he was even trying to avoid the entire area. He then just flops back to implying heavily that all these machines will be minded but offers no way to actually make any intellectual progress on the discussion of how we deal with synthetic simulations of ourselves. By the end, it comes off as pseudo-intellectualism. Basically, anything is "minded" if it moves humans. This raises more ethical questions about veganism or animal cruelty today than it addresses about AI. It would be good to have someone on who actually adds something to the debate besides "they'll all be worthy of moral concern because people will be morally concerned." Surely someone has a non-circular argument to contribute.
Thanks for your comment and thoughts. Appreciate you watching the video. What do you think might be sensible answers to the questions discussed in the video? Would be intrigued to hear. Joe.
