Australia must join a globally co-ordinated campaign to ensure the safe development of AI, which is reaching a critical phase that could have disastrous consequences.
i’m still in the melanie mitchell school of thought. if we created an A.I. advanced enough to be an actual threat, it would need the analogous style of information processing that would allow machines to easily interpret instruction. there is no reasonable incentive for it to act outside of our instruction. don’t anthropomorphise it with “innate desire to keep living even at the cost of humanity or anything else.” we only have that due to evolution. i do not believe in the myth of stupid super-intelligence capable of being an existential threat.
