Deep AI Makes a Try
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:48 pm
Supposing a deep AI machine were given the Human Question. The most powerful AI machines act empirically through trial and error. Alphazero, December 2017, took on the task of solving chess. It has not as yet completed the task, but has surpassed humans in its chess prowess. The full knowledge of humans including that of the conception of Evolutionary strategies such as Selective Breeding will be available to the machine.
An example of new environmental conditions in a "reaction norm" model of Evolution is the following generation of laws in a country: All public discussion is outlaw. Permitted will be invective of the most violent form. This will satisfy the needs of public criticism and the alteration of the general attitudes of the people. These rules are to be strictly enforced with the penalty for failure of compliance death by killer-droid (*).
*killer-droids are affiliated with no national group or political organization and serve the sole requirements of ultimate reason as embodied by the AI machine.
This is not an ethical suggestion in the ordinary sense, but just as death by natural cause is different in quality than death by human will, the free movement of the AI machine as sanctioned by the democratic community which largely understands it as the best problem solver will allow the experiment. The view will be taken that all deaths are meritorious and rational as they are in the service of the requirements of the most rational attack on the Human Question. Thus, those educated to understand this will feel no excessive resentment, but realize their place in the great effort.
Attempts will not necessarily be total, but different regions of the globe or off-globe can possibly serve as experimental zones.
