Far more than half of the nations are not democracies, and most nations are working on AI systems. He assumes training a superintelligence with the mores or ethics of an open, democratic society. The world is far too complex and thinking that figuring out a two player solution extends to a large society seems incorrect in its simplicity.Īlong with that simplicity, the book also misses how complex are our societies. For instance, while earlier talking about the limitations of AI systems only playing 2-person games, all of the utilitarian examples in the chapter were focused in two player games. Here is where I thought the book didn’t go into details it should have covered. Chapter 9 focuses on people and AI through the lens of utilitarian theory. I also had an issue with how some of the issues are described. This is where a lot of interesting question are asked, and it’s nice to see them but it’s also where the answers aren’t really addressed. I can quibble with what that means – and how we’d know – but an important question to ask is how humans can control those machines or at least prevent them from controlling us. Much of the second half of the book is taken up with what was mentioned in the previous paragraph: the super-intelligent AI.
