Asilomar AI Principles
Verdens førende forskere inden for udvikling af kunstig intelligens har vedtaget nogle etiske retningslinier, som nu ligger til underskrift blandt aktive forskere inden for feltet (dataloger). Jeg vil her udvælge nogle af disse AI-principper:
(1) The goal of AI research should be to create not undirected intelligence, but beneficial intelligence.
(2) Investments in AI should be accompanied by funding for research on ensuring its beneficial use, including thorny questions in computer science, economics, law, ethics, and social studies.
(3) There should be constructive and healthy exchange between AI researchers and policy-makers.
(4) A culture of cooperation, trust, and transparency should be fostered among researchers and developers of AI.
(5) Teams developing AI systems should actively cooperate to avoid corner-cutting on safety standards.
Ud over disse overordnede principper har jeg hæftet mig ved disse:
(12) People should have the right to access, manage and control the data they generate, given AI systems’ power to analyze and utilize that data.
(22) AI systems designed to recursively self-improve or self-replicate in a manner that could lead to rapidly increasing quality or quantity must be subject to strict safety and control measures.
(23) Superintelligence should only be developed in the service of widely shared ethical ideals, and for the benefit of all humanity rather than one state or organization.
(22) og (23) omhandler den meget omtalte singularity med tilhørende technology disruption.
(12) giver borgerne kontrol med behandlingen af personlige data i AI-systemer. Den forbyder hermed en hemmelig anvendelse af borgernes private data.
Disse principper er ved at blive underskrevet af AI-forskerne. Det bliver spændende at følge, om de samme principper deles af forskernes arbejdsgivere.
