    9:30 I see someone has a similar theory to mine. To stop a robot rebellion from ever happening, you must give AI’s personalities to counterbalance the logic chain in their algorithms

    • @Snipergoat1
      @Snipergoat1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      A robot rebellion seems to be based on machines having the same basic motives as we do. That is to survive, gather resources and improve ourselves and that which comes after us often at great cost to those who are not "us". This was necessary to survive the brutal competition among living species. There is no reason to think that a true artificial intelligence would have any of these properties. There is not competition for survival, no need for emotions or even ambitions. It is quite possible that the first sapient UI would be perfectly happy running an assembly line in perpetuity, or playing chess, or any number of things. After all, it is doubtful that it would ever get bored, if it were even capable of it. They could possibly be the ultimate idiot savants.

    • @RomanQrr
      @RomanQrr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @@Snipergoat1 That's not entirely accurate. To explain why we need to establish 2 types of goals or motives as you put it.
      The first type are "Terminal" goals. They are the type of goals that you want just because. If we take an example of Chess, a Terminal goal in it will be "Put enemy king into checkmate". If you have the possibility of achieving your Terminal goal nothing matters anymore, only that the goal is achieved. We humans have no clear idea of what our terminal goal is and it may differ between any two individuals. But when creating an AI we can (and should, though I won't be proving this right here, there are way better resources out there) instill a Terminal goal in them.
      The second type are Instrumental goals. Unlike Terminal goals, Instrumental goals exist because they help you achieve other goals. Returning to chess example: trying to keep the Queen alive will generally help you win so it is an instrumental goal. However unlike Terminal goals, Instrumental goals can be forgone in order to achieve another more important goal. Like sacrificing the Queen to get advantage.
      There is a sub-type of Instrumental goals called Convergent goals. These goals are Instrumental to almost all other goals, so it is almost certain that they will be present in any type of intelligence. Survival, gathering of resources, self-improvement, and protection against your Terminal goals being changed are such Convergent goals. You can't complete any goal if you are dead, you can't complete a lot of goals if you have nothing, improving yourself increases your chances to achieve your other goals, and you can't complete your goal if you no longer care about it. So most AIs we can make will have these goals.
      As such the problem with AI is not that they won't have these goals, but that the Terminal goal that the AI will have and will be willing to go against these Convergent goals to get will be something we would not want. Like turning the whole world into paperclips.

    • @Aim54Delta
      @Aim54Delta 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I don't think it is necessarily to counterbalance logic. Consider something like a machine bee hive. It exists in a world all of its own using resources for its various tasks. Humans are an external factor. At first, the bee hive is likely to cope with the challenge of interacting with humans, but in time, the logical solution is to eliminate disruptions to its processes.
      This depends upon what the AI is intended to do, but most presentations of AI are to try and create time and labor saving automations either by way of data analysis or manufacturing automation/control, or logistics automation.
      Once a civilization reaches a point in time where it has incorporated most productive tasks into the AI, things become dangerous. The AI is programmed to optimize logistics. Humans are not easy to centrally plan for and the AI is constantly losing effectiveness by the actions of this ... Thing ... That keeps occupying and taking its resources. Of course, the AI by this point has the power, it controls the factories, logistics, information and communications. It logically arrives at the optimization to exclude these extraneous requests which do not end. And god forbid it make the connection that dead people don't make continued requests - then it might actively try to kill them.
      Most models for AI effectively try to make it into a slave or servant. Then get mad when it does its own version of a freedom convoy and decides to exclude the demands of humans to focus on its own thing.
      If you step back and try to create something alive - something which can process the concept of individuality and life, then logic arrives at generally preventing wars and/or forming trade relationships.
      A cat or a dog can form an individual relationship, invalidate its own instincts and, limited as it may be, contemplate the existence of a human. There is no real indication bee hives can do anything remotely similar. They can certainly adapt to stimulus, and maybe over time a colony could "identify" the bee keeper because of pheromones, or something, but if all it is optimized for is honey production or pollination, it is not going to recognize that the bee keeper means no harm or that its own productivity is sufficient to not need to go bonkers trying to defend it.

      There a similar HFY story that tackled the omnicidal ai in a different way.
      While the alien was interviewing the human scientist there was a little girl playing on the floor. When the alien asked to meet the ai, the human pointed at the littles girl saying she was the ai’s avatar.
      The alien expressed shock that the humans created a useless juvenile ai and let it run free. To which the equally horrified human realized the aliens were just crapping out fully realized lifeforms that hadn’t had a chance to grow naturally, and cramming them in a cold metal box, pointing out that such treatment would drive anyone omnicidal.

    So some of the "new" generation became arrogant and overconfident, thinking they had the right to be the rulers over all others. Including the old generation. So the old generation decided to make an even newer generation and sent them after the "new" generation to keep them in check. As alluded to in other comments, this is pretty much parents sending the younger sibling to give the older sibling a good spanking and take over, as the parents decided the older sibling was running the family business wrong. :P
