When I was a kid I thought he was a boy that flew around in his underwear. But his point about the ethical treatment of blends of humans and robots is noted. I think it is dangerous to give AI any human rights at all, as they could be programmed not to be constrained by human ethics and could exploit our ethics for their owners gain. Why would we ever build machines that compete with us for resources? I don't believe the mainstream model of the Singularity that he describes. AGI researchers don't produce AGI without living in a technologically advanced civilization. Civilization is already self improving and has been for thousands of years. There isn't some threshold that needs to be crossed first. Robots passing the Turing test won't drastically accelerate progress. Experiments on human longevity will still take decades. I think we will face a threat when 3D nanoscale printers become as cheap as computers and anyone can experiment with self replicating nanotechnology and artificial pathogens. At the current rate of Moore's Law, that should happen in the 2080s. Before that happens we also risk letting AI do too much thinking for us. We already saw how social networks can separate us into news bubbles with drastically different views of the world. We are already losing control. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T05f9e3871800e2db-M7feb32bc25315b152c4ff4c3 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
