We already handle this with humans, groups, corporations, and governments.

Designing AI Objectives: Alignment Challenge vs Human Nature
By
–
You are right.
AI systems are much easier to align because we get to *design* their intrinsic objectives.
We don't get to do this with humans. We only get to modify objectives slightly through education. -
Designing AI Intrinsic Objectives for Common Good Alignment
By
–
Kids have human nature and drives hardwired in their intrinsic objectives. With education, we can merely modify these objectives slightly.
For AI systems, we get to *design* their intrinsic objectives. This makes it *much* easier to align AI to the Common Good than it is to align -
Aligning AI with Common Good Easier Than Nature Modification
By
–
It is much, much easier to align AI with the Common Good, than it is for children and animals.
the reason is that we can't "hack" human nature. We can only modify it through education.
We can "hack" animal nature through selective breeding (which is pretty brutal).
We can -
Superintelligent Sociopaths: Existential Risk Assessment
By
–
– The proportion of sociopaths in society is way larger than 1 in a few million.
– If society is robust to sociopaths, why can't it be robust to artificial sociopaths?
– What makes you think that we will actually build super-intelligent sociopaths?
– We have super-intelligent -

AI Education Risks: Baby Hitlers in Nuclear Physics Classes
By

I made that point during the Munk Debate in response to Max Tegmark (who is a physics professor at MIT): "Why aren't you worried that some students in your nuclear physics class could be baby Hitlers?"

Human-Level AI Technology Not Yet Invented

I know this is X and comments often turn to insults, but I would encourage you to try to understand the argument instead of hiding your lack of understanding behind accusations of dishonesty and ill intent. Technology to reach uuman-lavel AI has *not* yet been invented, pretty

Open AI Research and Debunking AI Doomsday Prophecies
By
–
An interview of me in the Financial Times in which I explain the reasons for supporting open research in AI and open source AI platforms.
I also explain why the widely-publicized prophecies of doom-by-AI are misguided and, in any case, highly premature. -
Regulation Strategy: Product Safety vs Research Freedom
By
–
Incidentally:
– I am not anti-regulation.
– regulating the deployment of *product* is useful to guarantee safety. – but I'm very much against regulating research and development.
– and I'm very much against regulations that would make open source AI illegal or difficult.
