Domestication of AI: A Conceptual Framework
The idea of domesticated AI draws parallels between the domestication of wolves into dogs and the potential for humans to create AI that remains loyal to mankind. This is rooted in utilizing biomimicry, where AI systems are structured to have similar incentive mechanisms that historically encouraged wolves to befriend humans. By controlling critical resources such as food, humans ensured a bond with dogs, leading to a collaborative existence. Understanding and applying such frameworks to AI development may promote a safer and more beneficial relationship between humans and machines.
