Is it Really Possible to Program “Humane AI” Systems?
Fortunately, there are those in the industry of developing and programming AI systems who are keenly aware of the dangerous limitation of the simple “Three Law” approach to ethical AIs. They are The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI), founded in 2000 for the pursuit of ethically enhanced intelligence by creating humane AI. SIAI believes the ethical and significant enhancement of intelligence will help solve contemporary problems, such as disease and illness, poverty and hunger, more readily than other philanthropic causes. Now these are some folks with true foresight. In order to escape the Colossus fate, it is in our best interest to find a way to imbue a genuine humanitarian ethos into our AI creations.
