If the intelligence of artificial systems were to surpass that of
humans, humanity would face significant risks. The time has come to
consider these issues, and this consideration must include progress
in artificial intelligence (AI) as much as insights from AI theory.
Featuring contributions from leading experts and thinkers in
artificial intelligence, Risks of Artificial Intelligence is the
first volume of collected chapters dedicated to examining the risks
of AI. The book evaluates predictions of the future of AI, proposes
ways to ensure that AI systems will be beneficial to humans, and
then critically evaluates such proposals. The book covers the
latest research on the risks and future impacts of AI. It starts
with an introduction to the problem of risk and the future of
artificial intelligence, followed by a discussion
(Armstrong/Sokala/OhEigeartaigh) on how predictions of its future
have fared to date. Omohundro makes the point that even an
innocuous artificial agent can easily turn into a serious threat
for humans. T. Goertzel explains how to succeed in the design of
artificial agents. But will these be a threat for humanity, or a
useful tool? Ways to assure beneficial outcomes through 'machine
ethics' and 'utility functions' are discussed by Brundage and
Yampolskiy. B. Goertzel and Potapov/Rodionov propose 'learning' and
'empathy' as paths towards safer AI while Kornai explains how the
impact of AI may be bounded. Sandberg explains the implications of
human-like AI via the technique of brain emulation. Dewey discusses
strategies to deal with the 'fast takeoff' of artificial
intelligence and, finally, Bishop explains why there is no need to
worry because computers will remain in a state of 'artificial
stupidity'. Sharing insights from leading thinkers in artificial
intelligence, this book provides you with an expert-level
perspective of what is on the horizon for AI, whether it will be a
threat for humanity, and how we might counteract this threat.
