Pausing AI Developments Isn't Enough. We Need to Shut It All Down
Am I naive about the ability of an AI to do anything other than respond to commands? At what point does an AI start functioning completely on its own, autonomously, out of control or beyond interaction with another system that can then shut that AI down?<p>Are we concerned that an AI would begin to spread like a digital virus? That seems unlikely to me, but maybe it could find ways to create a self-prepreservation duplicate of itself... Maybe. So what would keep us from just turning the switch off if we find that an AI is doing more than what we&#x27;re asking it to do? Again, I feel like I&#x27;m either being naive about this or I don&#x27;t really understand the threat of an AI beyond the control that humans still have on the systems that govern it.
