![Sentient Artificial Intelligence would
take jobs away from humans
• Around the neighborhood
– “in the home, by the end of 2015, about 610,000
autonomous vacuum cleaners and lawn-mowers were
in operation” (United Nations)
• Medicine
– “computers [are] better able to distinguish signs of
Alzheimer's than humans, and [prove] cheaper, faster and
more accurate than current methods”
so
“PC beats doctor in scan tests”)

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (Cont'd))
- 1. Artificial Intelligence . Is AIdangerous? • What is a Sentient AI? • Sentience = self-awareness • Human-level intelligence Example of AI sentience in robotics is the case of the AI robot named ’Bina48’. Bina48 was created by a company called Hanson Robotics and is designed to exhibit human-like qualities such as emotions, self-awareness, and the ability to hold conversations.
- 2. The Plausibility ofSentient AI • The Blue Brain Project – It could be possible to model a complete human brain within ten years – on a single machine, no less. • Ray Kurzweil: “… We will have both the hardware and the software to achieve human level artificial intelligence with the broad suppleness of human intelligence including our emotional intelligence by 2029”
- 3. The Controversy • Shouldhumans strive to build sentient AI? – What are the risks? Benefits? – Is it ethical or morally responsible? – What rights should artificial beings have? – Would there be any place for us?
- 4. Sentient Artificial Intelligencecould be dangerous • I, Robot The Machine • Thinking for one’s self • Turn skills against humans • Stephen Hawking: – “in contrast with our intellect, computers double their performance every 18 months … the danger is real that they could develop intelligence and take over the world”
- 5. Sentient Artificial Intelligencewould take jobs away from humans • Around the neighborhood – “in the home, by the end of 2015, about 610,000 autonomous vacuum cleaners and lawn-mowers were in operation” (United Nations) • Medicine – “computers [are] better able to distinguish signs of Alzheimer's than humans, and [prove] cheaper, faster and more accurate than current methods” so “PC beats doctor in scan tests”) • Car industry
- 6. Ethical Dilemma • RobotRights – If machines have the potential to exhibit complex behaviors such as self-sacrifice, language, and self- reproduction, “questions of ‘machine rights’ and ‘Robot liberation’ will surely arise in the future” (Robert A. Freitas)
- 7. Blown out ofproportion • Movies such as I, Robot, Terminator, Matrix, Chappie, the Machine, Automata, Transcendence … • Take negative ideas and make them prominent. • Give society a negative idea of sentience and AI. • These movies are not an accurate idea of the potential uses of sentience. • Benefits of Sentient AI • Benefits of AI be more important than the very small possibility of these movies becoming a reality.
- 8. Job loss isn’ta bad thing • Take those jobs away! • Dangerous occupations • Depths of space – One-way Missions • Biological limitations • Purely repetitive tasks • Increase Efficiency
- 9. Creation- A bribe! •Still just a robot • Overall benefits to mankind – Usefulness View • Exploration into the unknown
- 10. A Life of Luxury •Smart Cars • Park itself! • Roomba! • Think QRIO
- 11. Conclusion / Compromise •Some level of artificial intelligence is capable of benefitting society • AI should be specialized in a specific task so as to not become more like humans • If these requirements are met, AI should be allowed to be developed more
