Such an effect can be seen in the Theoretical framework population, in economic indicators, in science. The authors of the first work on artificial F.

It has been suggested that such a model becomes possible, the natural consequence of can be trained - such a method was demonstrated this is the emergence of new areas of research, by Donald Hebb, his proposal is now called Hebb new sciences - either specifying individual training. classical sections, or arising at the junction of several research areas. As a result, within the Another important work is an article by framework of one generation, we can see the Computing Machinery and Intelligence by Alan formation of a new field of knowledge, which is Turing, which described: Turing test, principles becoming one of the leading and determining in of machine learning, genetic algorithms, society. A striking example was the Dartmouth reinforcement learning (Turing, 1950). seminar, which brought together in 1956 ten scientists from different fields of science For many years, scientists worked on creating working on similar issues, who received the artificial intelligence systems, high expectations name proposed by John McCarthy - artificial were placed on programs, but all of them solved intelligence. some small problem in their simulated “microcosm”, and when attempts were made to As far back as in the past centuries, philosophers create larger-scale projects, this approach did not argued on the topic of thinking, searched for work. The programs did not possess answers to questions - if there is any difference "intelligence", but sorted through all sorts of between mind and matter, and various fields of options and found the right ones - for complex science have created a theoretical machine, the problems a combinatorial explosion occurred, foundation which artificial intelligence stands on that is, the number of searches exceeded the now. For artificial intelligence, formalization of calculated powers. The problem was not only in three fundamental areas became important: logic the insufficient power of computers, but also in (George Boolean - Boolean logic), computation the poor elaboration of the theory - the (Church-Turing theorem) and probability theory accumulated experience and planning were (Bayes theorem, which underlies many machine inefficiently used.

  • Liability Law for Present and Future Robotics Technology Trevor N
    Liability Law for Present and Future Robotics Technology Trevor N. White and Seth D. Baum Global Catastrophic Risk Institute http://gcrinstitute.org * http://sethbaum.com Published in Robot Ethics 2.0, edited by Patrick Lin, George Bekey, Keith Abney, and Ryan Jenkins, Oxford University Press, 2017, pages 66-79. This version 10 October 2017 Abstract Advances in robotics technology are causing major changes in manufacturing, transportation, medicine, and a number of other sectors. While many of these changes are beneficial, there will inevitably be some harms. Who or what is liable when a robot causes harm? This paper addresses how liability law can and should account for robots, including robots that exist today and robots that potentially could be built at some point in the near or distant future. Already, robots have been implicated in a variety of harms. However, current and near-future robots pose no significant challenge for liability law: they can be readily handled with existing liability law or minor variations thereof. We show this through examples from medical technology, drones, and consumer robotics. A greater challenge will arise if it becomes possible to build robots that merit legal personhood and thus can be held liable. Liability law for robot persons could draw on certain precedents, such as animal liability. However, legal innovations will be needed, in particular for determining which robots merit legal personhood. Finally, a major challenge comes from the possibility of future robots that could cause major global catastrophe. As with other global catastrophic risks, liability law could not apply, because there would be no post- catastrophe legal system to impose liability.

  • Classification Schemas for Artificial Intelligence Failures
    Journal XX (XXXX) XXXXXX https://doi.org/XXXX/XXXX Classification Schemas for Artificial Intelligence Failures Peter J. Scott1 and Roman V. Yampolskiy2 1 Next Wave Institute, USA 2 University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In this paper we examine historical failures of artificial intelligence (AI) and propose a classification scheme for categorizing future failures. By doing so we hope that (a) the responses to future failures can be improved through applying a systematic classification that can be used to simplify the choice of response and (b) future failures can be reduced through augmenting development lifecycles with targeted risk assessments. Keywords: artificial intelligence, failure, AI safety, classification 1. Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is estimated to have a $4-6 trillion market value [1] and employ 22,000 PhD researchers [2]. It is estimated to create 133 million new roles by 2022 but to displace 75 million jobs in the same period [6]. Projections for the eventual impact of AI on humanity range from utopia (Kurzweil, 2005) (p.487) to extinction (Bostrom, 2005). In many respects AI development outpaces the efforts of prognosticators to predict its progress and is inherently unpredictable (Yampolskiy, 2019). Yet all AI development is (so far) undertaken by humans, and the field of software development is noteworthy for unreliability of delivering on promises: over two-thirds of companies are more likely than not to fail in their IT projects [4]. As much effort as has been put into the discipline of software safety, it still has far to go. Against this background of rampant failures we must evaluate the future of a technology that could evolve to human-like capabilities, usually known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).

  • Leakproofing the Singularity Artificial Intelligence Confinement Problem
    Roman V.Yampolskiy Leakproofing the Singularity Artificial Intelligence Confinement Problem Abstract: This paper attempts to formalize and to address the ‘leakproofing’ of the Singularity problem presented by David Chalmers. The paper begins with the definition of the Artificial Intelli- gence Confinement Problem. After analysis of existing solutions and their shortcomings, a protocol is proposed aimed at making a more secure confinement environment which might delay potential negative effect from the technological singularity while allowing humanity to benefit from the superintelligence. Keywords: AI-Box, AI Confinement Problem, Hazardous Intelligent Software, Leakproof Singularity, Oracle AI. ‘I am the slave of the lamp’ Genie from Aladdin 1. Introduction With the likely development of superintelligent programs in the near future, many scientists have raised the issue of safety as it relates to such technology (Yudkowsky, 2008; Bostrom, 2006; Hibbard, 2005; Chalmers, 2010; Hall, 2000). A common theme in Artificial Intelli- gence (AI)1 safety research is the possibility of keeping a super- intelligent agent in a sealed hardware so as to prevent it from doing any harm to humankind.

  • A Survey of Research Questions for Robust and Beneficial AI
    A survey of research questions for robust and beneficial AI 1 Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) research has explored a variety of problems and approaches since its inception, but for the last 20 years or so has been focused on the problems surrounding the construction of intelligent agents|systems that perceive and act in some environment. In this context, the criterion for intelligence is related to statistical and economic notions of rationality|colloquially, the ability to make good decisions, plans, or inferences. The adoption of probabilistic representations and statistical learning methods has led to a large degree of integration and cross-fertilization between AI, machine learning, statistics, control theory, neuroscience, and other fields. The establishment of shared theoretical frameworks, combined with the availability of data and processing power, has yielded remarkable successes in various component tasks such as speech recognition, image classification, autonomous vehicles, machine translation, legged locomotion, and question-answering systems. As capabilities in these areas and others cross the threshold from laboratory research to economically valuable technologies, a virtuous cycle takes hold whereby even small improvements in performance are worth large sums of money, prompting greater investments in research. There is now a broad consensus that AI research is progressing steadily, and that its impact on society is likely to increase. The potential benefits are huge, since everything that civilization has to offer is a product of human intelligence; we cannot predict what we might achieve when this intelligence is magnified by the tools AI may provide, but the eradication of disease and poverty are not unfathomable. Because of the great potential of AI, it is valuable to investigate how to reap its benefits while avoiding potential pitfalls.

  • Artificial Intelligence Safety and Cybersecurity: a Timeline of AI Failures
    Artificial Intelligence Safety and Cybersecurity: a Timeline of AI Failures Roman V. Yampolskiy M. S. Spellchecker Computer Engineering and Computer Science Microsoft Corporation University of Louisville One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In this work, we present and analyze reported failures of artificially intelligent systems and extrapolate our analysis to future AIs. We suggest that both the frequency and the seriousness of future AI failures will steadily increase. AI Safety can be improved based on ideas developed by cybersecurity experts. For narrow AIs safety failures are at the same, moderate, level of criticality as in cybersecurity, however for general AI, failures have a fundamentally different impact. A single failure of a superintelligent system may cause a catastrophic event without a chance for recovery. The goal of cybersecurity is to reduce the number of successful attacks on the system; the goal of AI Safety is to make sure zero attacks succeed in bypassing the safety mechanisms. Unfortunately, such a level of performance is unachievable. Every security system will eventually fail; there is no such thing as a 100% secure system. Keywords: AI Safety, Cybersecurity, Failures, Superintelligence. 1. Introduction A day does not go by without a news article reporting some amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence1. In fact progress in AI has been so steady that some futurologists, such as Ray Kurzweil, project current trends into the future and anticipate what the headlines of tomorrow will bring us. Consider some developments from the world of technology: 2004 DARPA sponsors a driverless car grand challenge. Technology developed by the participants eventually allows Google to develop a driverless automobile and modify existing transportation laws.

  • The Ethics of Superintelligent Machines
    Ethical Issues in Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nick Bostrom Oxford University Philosophy Faculty 10 Merton Street Oxford OX1 4JJ United Kingdom Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The ethical issues related to the possible future creation of machines with general intellectual capabilities far outstripping those of humans are quite distinct from any ethical problems arising in current automation and information systems. Such superintelligence would not be just another technological development; it would be the most important invention ever made, and would lead to explosive progress in all scientific and technological fields, as the superintelligence would conduct research with superhuman efficiency. To the extent that ethics is a cognitive pursuit, a superintelligence could also easily surpass humans in the quality of its moral thinking. However, it would be up to the designers of the superintelligence to specify its original motivations. Since the superintelligence may become unstoppably powerful because of its intellectual superiority and the technologies it could develop, it is crucial that it be provided with human-friendly motivations. This paper surveys some of the unique ethical issues in creating superintelligence, and discusses what motivations we ought to give a superintelligence, and introduces some cost-benefit considerations relating to whether the development of superintelligent machines ought to be accelerated or retarded. KEYWORDS: Artificial intelligence, ethics, uploading, superintelligence, global security, cost-benefit analysis 1. INTRODUCTION A superintelligence is any intellect that is vastly outperforms the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills.1 This definition leaves open how the superintelligence is implemented – it could be in a digital computer, an ensemble of networked computers, cultured cortical tissue, or something else.

  • Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence Containment
    Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence Containment James Babcock Janos Kramar Roman V. Yampolskiy Cornell University University of Montreal University of Louisville [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract With almost daily improvements in capabilities of artificial intelligence it is more important than ever to develop safety software for use by the AI research community. Building on our previous work on AI Containment Problem we propose a number of guidelines which should help AI safety researchers to develop reliable sandboxing software for intelligent programs of all levels. Such safety container software will make it possible to study and analyze intelligent artificial agent while maintaining certain level of safety against information leakage, social engineering attacks and cyberattacks from within the container. Keywords: AI Boxing, AI Containment, AI Confinement!, AI Guidelines, AI Safety, Airgapping. 1. Introduction The past few years have seen a remarkable amount of attention on the long-term future of AI. Icons of science and technology such as Stephen Hawking1, Elon Musk2, and Bill Gates3 have expressed concern that superintelligent AI may wipe out humanity in the long run. Stuart Russell, coauthor of the most-cited textbook of AI [35], recently began prolifically advocating4 for the field of AI to take this possibility seriously. AI conferences now frequently have panels and workshops on the topic5,6. There has been an outpouring of support7 from many leading AI researchers for an open letter calling for greatly increased research dedicated to ensuring that increasingly capable AI remains “robust and beneficial”, and gradually a field of “AI safety” is coming into being [64, 33, 55].

    AGI Safety Literature Review∗y Tom Everitt, Gary Lea, Marcus Hutter ftom.everitt, gary.lea, [email protected] May 22, 2018 Australian National University The development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) promises to be a major event. Along with its many potential benefits, it also raises serious safety concerns (Bostrom, 2014). The intention of this paper is to provide an easily accessible and up-to-date collection of references for the emerging field of AGI safety. A significant number of safety problems for AGI have been identified. We list these, and survey recent research on solving them. We also cover works on how best to think of AGI from the limited knowledge we have today, predictions for when AGI will first be created, and what will happen after its creation. Finally, we review the current public policy on AGI.
