Nick Bostrom on AI Takeover - Dictionary of Arguments
I 115 AI Takeover/Bostrom: (…) let us suppose that there is a machine superintelligence that wants to seize power in a world in which it has as yet no peers. (1) Pre-criticality phase: The seed AI is able to improve its own intelligence. In its early stages, the seed AI is dependent on help from human programmers who guide its development and do most of the heavy lifting. As the seed AI grows more capable, it becomes capable of doing more of the work by itself. I 116 (2) Recursive self-improvement phase: Now when the AI improves itself, it improves the thing that does the improving. The AI develops the intelligence amplification superpower. (3) 3 Covert preparation phase: (…) the AI develops a robust plan for achieving its long-term goals. (In particular, the AI does not adopt a plan so stupid that even we present-day humans can foresee how it would inevitably fail.) I 117 (4) Overt implementation phase: when the AI has gained sufficient strength to obviate the need for secrecy. The overt implementation phase might start with a “strike” in which the AI eliminates the human species and any automatic systems humans have created that could offer intelligent opposition to the execution of the AI’s plans. >Ethics/superintelligence/Bostrom, >Norms/Bostrom, >Risks/Bostrom, >Technology/Bostrom, >Goals/Bostrom, >Ethics/Yudkowsky._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
