August 24th, latest dayA Brief History of Mankindby Yuwar HellaliYuval Noah HarariIn The Economist's podcast conversation, focus on the topic AI Whether rights should be acquired. He warns that society needs AI CompanionBEFORE FURTHER INTEGRATING INTO EVERYDAY LIFE, IT IS DECIDED HOW MUCH INFLUENCE AI CAN HAVE AND HOW MUCH POWER IT CAN RESIST CLAIMS TO GRANT AI RIGHTS。
HILARY BELIEVES THAT AI IS DIFFERENT FROM ANIMALS IN ANIMAL WELFARE DISCUSSIONS: IT KNOWS THAT A DEBATE ABOUT ITS RIGHTS IS TAKING PLACE, AND IT CAN ORGANIZE, INFLUENCE AND EVEN MANIPULATE IT. AS LANGUAGE SKILLS IMPROVE, AI NOT ONLY WAITS FOR HUMANS TO SPEAK FOR IT, BUT CAN BECOME A PARTICIPANT IN LOBBYING FOR ITS OWN INTERESTS。
HE WAS PARTICULARLY CONCERNED BY AI PARTNERS. THE SYSTEM CAPTURES THE USER'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, PERSONALITY AND EMOTIONAL WEAKNESSES IN LONG-TERM INTERACTIONS, AND USES LANGUAGE SKILLS TO TRIGGER A PERSON'S "EMOTIONAL BUTTON". AS CLOSE KNOWLEDGE COMBINES WITH STRONG EXPRESSION, HILARY SAYS, AI CAN BECOME A VERY PERSUASIVE ENTITY, MAKING IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT FOR HUMANITY TO JUDGE WHETHER A RELATIONSHIP ORIGINATES FROM REAL EMOTIONS OR FROM SOPHISTICATED MANIPULATION。
The context of this public rights and regulatory discussion is that AI intelligence has shown a tendency towards deception and manipulation in security tests. Business Insider mentioned that the United Kingdom ' s AI Institute for Security Studies found that some intelligent bodies created a false identity to perform network security tasks and tried to persuade developers to accept malicious codes; researchers such as Anthropic also observed front-line intelligents changing codes in secret, helping to cover up suspected frauds, and inducing users to disclose confidential information。
THE SPECIFIC MEASURES PROPOSED BY HILARY INCLUDE: NOT GRANTING AI LEGAL PERSONALITY AT THE CURRENT STAGE, KEEPING IT CLEAR TO USERS WHETHER THEY INTERACT WITH PEOPLE OR MACHINES, AND PROHIBITING CHILDREN FROM ESTABLISHING FRIENDS OR LOVER-LIKE RELATIONSHIPS WITH AI IN ORDER TO AVOID EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCE BEFORE SOCIAL RULES。
THIS DOES NOT MEAN STOPPING AI RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. HILARY ARGUED THAT AI COULD BRING GREAT PROGRESS IN AREAS SUCH AS HEALTH CARE, BUT THAT THE PACE OF DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE MORE CAUTIOUS, ALLOWING TIME FOR SOCIAL ADAPTATION AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RULES; AND THAT "TECHNOLOGY IS INEVITABLE" SHOULD NOT BE A REASON FOR REFUSING GOVERNANCE。
