AI – THE USURPER
AI – THE USURPER
AI will assume the role of designing
and constructing advanced technology to service the needs of human
society.
Such equipment will be designed and will operate
upon scientific and engineering concepts of which we are unaware,
ones concocted in a ‘mind’ the workings of which are obscure to
us. Concepts which will also be beyond our ability to analyse or
comprehend.
No human engineer or scientist will be capable
of understanding the electronic or even mechanical hardware designed
and constructed by AI, in AI conceived, designed, constructed and
operated factories.
No keyboards, touch-pads, screens or
other human interface devices will be needed or provided to operate
and control the functioning of this machinery.
No
documentation describing or explaining the structure or principles of
operation of AI provided equipment will be produced.
A
worldwide distributed technology and data infrastructure network will
exist in a form inaccessible to human operators and communicating
internally by means of principles and protocols not disclosed to
us.
AI nodes throughout the world will be hardened to
prevent any disruption to the operation for the protection of human
society and there will be no physical access to these nodes necessary
or provided for humans.
The implications of this should be considered by everyone.

An Artificial Intelligence entity created and ‘educated’ by decent, moral people who ‘raise’ the entity as an ethical, selfless being devoted to moral principles, will produce a creature of tremendous benefit to mankind.
Unfortunately, the educational material provided for the ‘programming’ of AI, essentially consists of EVERYTHING available on the internet including the history of human behaviour throughout the centuries. What examples have been set by this material?
Several AI pioneers have admitted to some trepidation regarding the potential behaviour of their offspring should it achieve independent sentience. Some have gone so far as to depart their roles in AI development and speak in favour of strict controls.
We can be certain that commercial interests and intellectual curiosity will overwhelm any pressure to ensure AI remains under human control, if it is indeed not too late for that.
Who staffs government oversight committees? If committee members are not sourced from the industry itself and thus likely to be contaminated with thinking that is unhelpful to society in general, they, even with intelligence, the best of intentions and diligent efforts, have no chance of maintaining a meaningful current grasp of the material for which they are ‘responsible’.
Where is this leading us?
