Η government Obama worries about AI (artificial νοημοσύνη). Αν σας ήρθε στο το Skynet, δεν είναι Skynet. Ωστόσο, να πούμε ότι το problem it's disturbing enough, even without special effects.
It is known that science is increasingly involved in the development of robotic systems. The problem lies in the fine decisions and the dangers that will come from poorly encoded units in the future.
The Obama administration has published a report this week, which examines the problems associated with moving to an increasingly automated world.
The report tries to determine the problems that may arise with the algorithmic decision-making process that functions more and more without much (or no) human oversight. Let's look at why the Obama administration is concerned.
According to the report:
Since the services they use data are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and as we have seen ourselves increasingly dependent on them, we will need to address concerns about intentional or implicit biases that may arise from both the data and the algorithms used, as the impact will reaches the user and society.
Transparency issues arise when companies, institutions and organizations use algorithmic systems and automated procedures to inform decisions that affect our lives such as whether or not we will qualify for credit or employment opportunities or what our financial situation, housing and the ads we see.
The idea that robots can make self-awareness and annihilation of humanity may not be so much, but these systems control almost every part of our adult life.
Access to credit, employment, housing, education, and more is typically algorithmically processed by programs that analyze vast amounts of data quickly and find information for each of us on request.
These algorithms with poor coding and bad design, or biases, could lead to inaccuracies, and mistakes that will lead to denial of credit, housing or even admission to certain faculties.
Ο White House wants to change all that by developing an ethical framework for designing AIs that will be so precise that they can function without human intervention.
The White House report does not go into details about what it could mean with all this, but it is clear that the Obama administration is worried about the future that is increasingly based on artificial intelligence and will make decisions that can change the life of man .
