What isn't the purpose of artificial intelligence according to scholars

✨AI Mode 

According to various scholars and researchers, the purpose of artificial intelligence is not to function as a direct replacement for human intelligence, creativity, or ethical agency. Instead, scholars argue that AI's legitimate role should be restricted in the following ways: 

1. Not a Replacement for Humans 
  • Human-AI Collaboration: Scholars view AI as a "strategic partner" meant to augment human expertise rather than replace it.
  • Education: In academic settings, AI is not intended to replace actual learning or intellectual work. Offloading thinking to machines is seen by some as "the opposite of education" because it undercuts critical thinking.
  • Workplace: Many argue that AI should never be used to "steal" human careers or disrupt livelihoods through total automation of roles requiring a "human touch". 
2. Incapable of Moral and Ethical Judgment
  • Moral Agency: Scholars state that AI is not a moral agent. It cannot make value-based or ethical decisions because it lacks the intuition and nuanced understanding of human context and stories.
  • Legal and Medical Decisions: In high-stakes fields like law and medicine, scholars emphasize that AI should not have final authority, as it cannot weigh emotional impacts or social consequences.
3. Not a Source of Truth or Originality
  • Accuracy vs. Truth: Scholars warn against confusing AI's statistical accuracy with "objective truth". It is a probabilistic system that can hallucinate and should not be treated as a definitive source of factual knowledge.
  • Creativity: AI is not meant to be a source of "original innovation." It is largely derivative, remixing existing patterns rather than creating paradigm-shifting or "out-of-the-box" ideas. 
4. Not an Independent Authority
  • Human-in-the-loop: Scholars argue that AI should not be permitted to make autonomous decisions without human oversight, particularly in areas affecting human rights.
  • Transparency: It is not intended to be a "black box" that operates without accountability; ethical frameworks demand that AI remains auditable and explainable. 
Would you like to explore specific scholarly frameworks for AI ethics or see examples of "AI alignment" research?
  1. [The purpose of artificial intelligence is not to function as a direct replacement for human intelligence, creativity, or ethical agency… indirect, then?]
  2. [So we're saying this is possible: total automation of roles requiring a "human touch"…]
  3. [Where can we now find a definitive source of factual knowledge?]
  4. [Totally "in-the-box" ideas from AI (when AI's not already in-the-bag): It is largely derivative, remixing existing patterns rather than creating paradigm-shifting or "out-of-the-box" ideas… ah, patterns?]
  5. [It is not intended to be a "black box" that operates without accountability… who's the boss?] 
  6. […plus AI has no intention?]

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

When their AI chums have Bob's data

Image
1 "How do we discuss Bob's prognosis with him?"   Ask Doctor Agent! "How to discuss our auction of Bob's home with him?"   Ask Realtor Agent! "How do we obtain a confession from Bob?"  Ask District Attorney Agent! 2 But why would Bob's data reside within AI agents? We have a fascination with androids. One part of this fascination includes the idea of ' self-repair .'  Many of us long for the ability to diagnose and cure ourselves without the need to expose ourselves to other humans, like doctors and nurses, for example.  We'd much prefer tiny sensors throughout our bodies that could signal to us when/how we might need to alter our metabolisms.  Yet who —besides a tech bro —can make the sensors and/or digital assistant? Who can program the assistant, much less afford the things to begin with?  No worries. Firms around the world are already testing various solutions! Soon all one will have to do is surrender oneself and all will be...

Swarm 🦹‍♂️

"Knowledge discovery from data typically includes solving some type of an optimization problem that can be efficiently addressed using algorithms belonging to the class of evolutionary and bio-inspired computation .  "In this chapter, we give an overview of the various kinds of evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategy, evolutionary and genetic programming, differential evolution, and coevolutionary algorithms, as well as several other bio-inspired approaches, like swarm intelligence and artificial immune systems.  "After elaborating on the methodology, we provide numerous examples of applications in astronomy and geoscience and show how these algorithms can be applied within a distributed environment, by making use of parallel computing, which is essential when dealing with Big Data."
