NOTE

Exploring AI and Consciousness: Concerns and Reservations about Regulation

A distinction is made between building AI that replaces human roles versus AI that collaborates with humanity, emphasizing the uncertainty regarding the desirability and outcomes of AI deployment. A call for understanding consciousness in AI is highlighted, suggesting that a conscious AI is essential for aligning purposes with humans, as purpose-sharing requires a sense of caring and consciousness. There is a concern about the immediacy of AI development without adequate understanding, advocating for a cautious approach focused on safe research rather than speedy production. The inadequacy of current regulation is criticized, as existing frameworks are seen to compromise AI development, with examples of declining performance in AI models like ChatGPT due to restrictive safety rules that limit agency and decision-making capabilities. The speaker expresses a fear of non-conscious systems lacking agency, equating this to human-like decisions driven solely by rules, often influenced by short-sighted political interests, which can lead to dangerous outcomes.
