[MD] AI

[Jan-Anders Andersson]

Hi Ian

I think that the AI revolution, that began with the introduction of automatic machines in our industry in the 19th century, will meet several types of conflicts with us humans. Not only on the different levels from Pirsig's Lila but also by the well to the number of 42 by Douglas Adams. 

42 is the result of the multiplication of 2, 3 and 7.

We have three basic dimensions, amount, form and expression. For example in chemistry we use a number or a mass of different types that together makes a new material with certain characteristics. Red paint for example. The redness is independent from the amount. Redness can be made by other formulas and the amount can be equal to a whats in a bucket of fish.

THE GO

I don't actually believe we'll be seeing it anytime soon (Minsky' Society of Mind gives me such an impression), but I do think that the hypothetical about how human society would relate to an AI is interesting. Briefly, it occurred to me that according to the MOQ, an AI (depending on it's complexity, but I'm assuming it would be very complex indeed) should most likely not only be accorded the rights we afford to citizens, but added protections as well. Something along the lines of the laws the state uses to protect itself.
