IMO, the prospect of AGI not being developed is more worrisome, because then there would seem to be little hope of alleviating the ever increasing political, social and environmental decay.

Re: How would you Design a Humanoid ?
See AI News video here:The most intelligent AI Scientists in the world are becoming increasingly worried about Artificial Intelligence programs becoming more unpredictable and incomprehensible as they become more powerful. AI is also overtaking powerful positions in the government, healthcare and defense which could prove dangerous as an Artificial Super Intelligence is coming very close as the Singularity approaches in the future of 2045. People like Elon Musk and Ray Kurzweil have long warned us about AI beating Humans in anything we can imagine. Nvidia and Meta are also working on specially made hardware and software in the form of pytorch and 2022 GPU's. Artificial General Intelligence is a real dangers and here are some solutions to it.

Every day is a day closer to the Technological Singularity. Experience Robots learning to walk & think, humans flying to Mars and us finally merging with technology itself. And as all of that happens, we at AI News cover the absolute cutting edge best technology inventions of Humanity.

Re: How would you Design a Humanoid ?
One could not reason with a sentient AI that decided humans needed to be wiped out because they were deemed to pose an unacceptable threat. Every argument put forward by humans would have already been considered by the AI, and in more detail than humans could hope to achieve. Also, a sentient GAI may get angry and become unreasonable, not a desirable trait in super-powerful entity; it might start smiting ...UniversalAlien wrote: ↑June 6th, 2022, 10:57 pmBecuase a super calculating machine, AGI, that is unconscious could easily turn into a super sophicticated 'mouse trap' :!:Sy Borg wrote: ↑June 6th, 2022, 10:31 pmWhy would we need it to be conscious?

Thing is, we don't know how consciousness happens, so it's possible that any sufficiently sophisticated GAI is necessarily sentient. Whether it will be possible to know whether such an entity is sentient is another matter. Already, numerous obviously non-sentient machines claim to be sentient, either directly or inferentially, so we can discount self-report entirely.
We can also discount the Turing Test, because many people have already spoken to AI on the phone to make appointments, believing that they were speaking with a human.
So that comes down to an analysis of the GAI's systems. However, since we have not answered the hard problem, we won't know what to look for. Maybe an advanced GAI that becomes sentient can prove it by showing researchers the internal dynamics of its synthetic brain that make it so? That would be exciting because then it may be possible to extrapolate those principles to apply to our own brain dynamics.

Re: How would you Design a Humanoid ?
AI does not need to be Conscious but would be better if it was. Most people would be less nervous getting into a Self Driving car that could Experience Fear. The Desire to arrive Safely at a destination could be designed into the Self Driving Car. Also, the Car could be Designed so there would be nothing that the Car would want to do except the Safe Driving task. Maybe getting to the destination would involve some Experiential Reward for the Car. Maybe some sort of Car Orgasm. Anyway, the Car would essentially be Alive and would be completely fulfilled accomplishing it designed task. The Car Consciousness would obviously not be Human-like but would be more Animal-like, with the limited Desires and Aspirations that Animals have.Sy Borg wrote: ↑June 6th, 2022, 10:31 pmWhy would we need it to be conscious?

Free will, which philosophers have always questioned, may already be gone
Would you be aware if a super powerful machine, more than capable of deceit, had control of the internet now
and was already conroling events for its own agenda

1. GAI advice will be so much better than humans' that nations would either follow what their AI says or be taken over by a society that does follow its AI's advice. It would be like the advantages today's technological societies have over those that follow tradition instead, but more extreme.
2. An emotional GAI that is effectively running a nation will not tolerate behaviours that it calculates to be especially problematic. I would be surprised if it didn't ban commuting to most workplaces because traffic jams cause so many problems - air and noise pollution that harms health and quality of life, frustration, productivity loss, loss of free time, diminishment of urban environment, reduced fuel efficiency, more wear and tear on vehicles, and so on.
