Quote by Agona Apell

“Our global definition of human success proves its practical value each time that the artificial intelligence (AI) industry agonizes about how to address the spectre of super-intelligent robots someday gaining the capacity to oust man from his pre-eminent position on earth and relegate us to subservience or, worse, irrelevance. Such fear will never materialize if the makers of these robots design them to gravitate to actions that align with the cause of human success in the context of our given definition. If, however, we persist in the folly that the definition of human success is arbitrary, then robots that adopt this stance of mind shall tend to inflict injury on society quite like likeminded people have hitherto done. In a nutshell, the world agonizes about what AI success will mean because the world has never defined what human success should mean universally. If we had such a definition, the concept of AI safety would not be problematic: it would automatically be aligned with the global definition of human success because AI success is a subset of human success.”
