The Conversation...
What are the justifications for asserting that superintelligence poses an existential threat to humanity?
Please enumerate the counter-arguments
Explore how ongoing AI development relates to these arguments.
What mitigation actions can be taken to address core concerns about the existential risk ascribed to superintelligence?
Would a combination of Ubuntu and Christian teaching, (for example in the Beatitudes), provide a realistic set of values and behaviour to be incorporated into Constitutional AI as a mitigating action to be taken to address concerns about existential risk ascribed to superintelligence?
Draft a sample "AI Constitution" based on these principles.
Expand on how to operationalize this in AI training and the give specific implementation steps.
Mock up a more detailed breakdown of reward functions
ChatGPT said:
Great choice! Let's dive into a detailed breakdown of reward functions aligned with the Ubuntu-Beatitudes-inspired AI Constitution.
Mock up a healthcare example with specific reward scoring of a conflict mediation use-case.
Fantastic! Healthcare is a high-stakes, sensitive domain, and applying Ubuntu-Beatitudes-inspired AI alignment there is crucial. Let's create a detailed healthcare decision scenario mock-up, with reward scoring and analysis, similar to what we did with conflict mediation.
By implementing value-aligned reward functions as shown in this healthcare example, AI can become a compassionate, humble, and ethically grounded partner, empowering human decisions without overriding them. This approach also avoids existential risks posed by cold, efficiency-maximizing AI systems that ignore human values.
