Yikes, 'Skynet'!
I think it's of upmost importance that new tech, AI included, is integrated and has Blockchain as it's roots. This gives us the best chance of ensuring fairness and safety going forward.
hmm, time-travel to fiddle with the blockchain...
Agree, if you value fairness then blockchain has an answer. At the same time I value low barrier to entry, I value accessibility. I did not have access for most of my life and still don't, and think most of the world has even less access, so the point is to make AI accessible to all.
But it has to be done in a responsible way. Whether you believe it should be governed by some blockchain mechanism and a cyberspace community, or by local/national regulations, the AI has to be in my opinion legitimate and governable to reach mainstream adoption. The AI must maintain a good reputation with the community, this means it has to follow the laws of the community, the social norms, the customs, and while I can say that not every community is going to be "national", it doesn't mean no community at all.
Steemit is a community. Steemit has reputation, has voting, has some sort of conscience or decision making ability. Bitcoin on the other hand has no intelligent steering. Ethereum is capable of some intelligent steering but their marketing "unstoppable code" was stupid, and "code is law" is stupid.
Yes the law is a sort of code, but it's definitely not computer code or source code. The point is we need AI which can integrate into society seamlessly, become ubiquitous, and remain beneficial. AI is capable of understanding international law better than the humans who develop the AI or the community that benefits from the AI. The AI which is legitimate will simply be the most liked by the majority of the people in society and that is how mainstream adoption is encouraged.
'The point is we need AI which can integrate into society seamlessly, become ubiquitous, and remain beneficial.'
I couldn't agree more, AI should be for all the people, and one way to help make this so is let the people take care of it in a way that best fits their community.
The killswitch though is essential, who would have the say with that?
