Description
Robot Souls: A New Approach to Programming AI. The design of Artificial Intelligence is plagued by two major challenges: aligning robots with human values and preventing them from becoming rogue. One potential solution lies in examining how humans address these issues, which may involve rethinking the role of emotions, intuition, and other seemingly irrational properties in AI development. These "irrational" properties are not as random as they seem. They emerge from a deeper source code that makes us human and fosters reciprocal altruism, essential for humanity's survival. In Robot Souls, author Eve Poole explores the emergence of ideas about consciousness and the soul, placing these concepts in the context of AI development. By foregrounding this "junk" code, Poole argues that it is time to re-examine how we program AI, offering a fresh perspective on the future of artificial intelligence.
