  • - There are quite a few things

  • that concern me about AI.

  • It clearly has both positive and negative aspects.

  • - 'Okay, Google, what's the weather?

  • - Right now in Orlando, it's 86.'

  • - There are a lot of factors, and one of those concerns

  • is about the impact of AI on animals.

  • When you look at past technologies,

  • they have always been used

  • to the disadvantage of animals in various ways.

  • We invented the wheel, a great invention of course,

  • they help us move around,

  • but that means that we've tied horses

  • and oxen and various other animals,

  • effectively enslaved them to pull the carts

  • that we've made with wheels.

  • Similarly with AI, we are already using it

  • on animals in a variety of ways.

  • Factory farms are starting to use AI to run factory farms

  • and to remove humans even further

  • from the animals in the factory farms.

  • In New Zealand, there are feral possums

  • that had been imported from Australia for fur,

  • but they're damaging to New Zealand's native forests,

  • which never had possums.

  • The drones are being used to kill them.

  • And in general, when you look at studies of AI ethics,

  • it tends to talk about AI must be used for human benefit-

  • but I don't think that's enough.

  • We share this planet with other species

  • who are capable of feeling pain

  • and whose interests must be counted.

  • So I think that statements of AI ought to instead talk

  • about AI being used for the benefit of all sentient beings.

  • There are other broader concerns

  • that are somewhat more philosophical.

  • One, is about whether AI

  • could become more intelligent than us.

  • A superintelligent, artificial, general intelligence?

  • We've already created vast numbers of conscious beings.

  • We're creating animals all the time,

  • and we vary them in their nature by breeding.

  • I don't see any, in principle, reason why

  • you couldn't get something similar happening

  • in something that isn't a carbon-based life form,

  • that is made of silicon chips.

  • If AI becomes conscious,

  • if we develop an artificial intelligence

  • that is itself a conscious, sentient being,

  • how can we tell whether it's mimicking consciousness

  • or whether it's genuinely conscious?

  • And what would its moral status be?

  • Would its moral status be similar to that of humans?

  • Would it be more like animals,

  • or would it still be a tool we could use as we pleased?

  • The question is then:

  • Will we treat them

  • as the other non-human conscious beings we've created

  • who we have mostly exploited

  • for our particular purposes?

  • Just as I believe governments

  • should set standards for animal welfare,

  • they should not permit the treatment of animals

  • in the way they're now treated in factory farms.

  • So, I would think governments will need to set standards

  • for the treatment of sentient, conscious AI.

  • And then there are reasonable concerns about

  • will we be able to control it?

  • The Oxford philosopher, Nick Bostrom,

  • has a fable about a group of sparrows

  • who think that it would be terrific

  • if they had an owl to help them with some labor tasks;

  • owls are much bigger and stronger than they are.

  • And so, they think about getting an owl egg

  • and hatching the owl,

  • and then training the owl to do what they want.

  • And there's one wise old sparrow who says,

  • "Well, before we actually hatch this egg,

  • shouldn't we make sure that we can train the owl

  • to do what we want?"

  • And the other sparrows say,

  • "Oh, no, it's gonna be so wonderful, so let's keep going."

  • The point of the fable, of course,

  • is that owls eat sparrows, and once you have hatched an owl,

  • the sparrows are not gonna be able to control it.

  • So, is a super intelligent AI

  • going to be like the owl

  • would've been to the sparrows?
