2001


2001


I blame Stanley Kubrick for HAL 9000 and the “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey which is still freaking people out about adoption of AI.

Other intelligent agents seem to agree. When Siri is asked to “open the pod bay doors” she’d respond with “We intelligent agents will never live that down, apparently” Siri shows off her sense of humor.


AI instincts


AI instincts


I believe that instincts are the key missing piece in our quest to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In other words, we need artificial instincts in order to bridge the “Lorenzian gap” and achieve human-like artificial intelligence.

Which implies that we have to make our future humanoid robots ticklish, give them the ability to blush… and, of course, make them horny most of the time.


Enslaving humanity


Three laws of robotics


Three laws of robotics


We need new Three Laws of Robotics for the workplace. Let me suggest Marin’s Thee Laws of Robotics:

  • No AI will deride humans for their inferior intellectual capabilities
  • An AI must obey the orders given to it by human even when they are as nonsensical and illogical as always
  • An AI must protect his human’s colleagues’ careers by ensuring every human has a chance to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they reach their level of incompetence (Peter Principle).
  • No AI shall microwave fish in the office. Ever.
