US rejects calls for regulating or banning ‘killer robots’

“In our view, the best way to make progress … would be through the development of a non-binding code of conduct,” US official Josh Dorosin told the meeting.

What’s the problem with Killer Robots?

A fully developed killer robot will be better than any human. This means you need killer robots to fight back killer robots or you are hopelessly outgunned. This in the end means that the winner is the one who can deploy more killer robots.

This simple logic will then lead to an arms race between the superpowers and what the world really does not need is a new arms race.

#Drugs, #robots and the pursuit of #pleasure – why experts are worried about AIs becoming addicts

But it has been found that, often, like our crafty kitchen cleaner, the agent finds surprisingly counter-intuitive ways to “cheat” this game so that they can gain all the #reward without doing any of the work required to complete the task. The pursuit of reward becomes its own end, rather than the means for accomplishing a rewarding task. There is a growing list of examples.

Gepald

An experienced shaman, Gepald strives to maintain the balance of the world by protecting well-intended things from falling to selfish and greedy hands. It will stop at nothing to take back what was stolen from them, as long as the theft would do more harm to society than good.

Gepalds are commonly seen protecting important historical artifacts, pieces of land, and clean energy sources. It inspires both the living and the dead to achieve their potential.

They are excellent manipulators of light and metal, but they are also capable of learning fire and nature magic.

The moment an artificial #intelligence accidentally wiped out #humanity...

The following section is taken from the #essay by #BruceSchneier about The Coming AI Hackers:

Imagine a robotic vacuum assigned the task of cleaning up any mess it sees. It might disable its vision so that it can’t see any messes, or cover messes up with opaque materials so it doesn’t see them.72 In 2018, an entrepreneurial—or perhaps just bored—programmer wanted his robot vacuum to stop bumping into furniture. He trained an #AI by rewarding it for not hitting the bumper sensors.73 Instead of learning not to bump into things, the AI learned to drive the vacuum backwards because there are no bumper sensors on the back of the device.

This means, in its #consequence, that AI would unhesitatingly wipe out humanity if that would bring it closer to the programmed #reward. We could not even call this AI #evil, because it has no emotions at all and knows no human #morality. Ultimately, it would not be the AI's #mistake either, but in fact the fault of unclean, incomplete programming. Now look at the quality of today's software with Trojans, viruses, backdoors, spam and all that crap. Does anyone seriously believe that the #military and intelligence services do not use all the software possible? Against fully autonomous #combat #robots, one can only defend oneself with combat robots. Either with quantity or better AI. Once #Skynet is activated, the solution could be to wipe out humanity, because without humans there are no more conflicts on Earth and world #peace is, after all, the highest reward for such a combat #robot.
