Max Tegmark on Superintelligence - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 85 Superintelligence/Tegmark: A superintelligent AGI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours, we’re in trouble. People don’t think twice about flooding anthills to build hydroelectric dams, so let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants. >Artificial Intelligence/Tegmark. Ethics: The moral question of what these goals should be is just as urgent as the technical questions about goal alignment. Most researchers argue that if we end up creating superintelligence, we should make sure it’s what AI-safety pioneer Eliezer Yudkowsky has termed “friendly AI” - AI whose goals are in some deep sense beneficial. ((s) no source indicated). Tegmark: Intelligence isn’t good or evil but morally neutral. It’s simply an ability to accomplish complex goals, good or bad. We can’t conclude that things would have been better if Hitler had been more intelligent. Indeed, postponing work on ethical issues until after goal-aligned AGI is built would be irresponsible and potentially disastrous.
