More intelligent but less uncontrollable, or dumber and more controllable robots, that is the real tough question
Sir, you write “some researchers have called for greater “robot transparency” — safeguards to ensure that humans can always grasp what the most sophisticated machines are doing, and why… Robots can help people with their work and unleash social and economic benefits. But they must be trusted, or the humans will vote to take back control”, “Intelligent robots must be trusted by humans” August 5.
Sir, what do you prefer, more intelligent but less uncontrollable or dumber and more controllable robots?
What are we to do if controlling our intelligent robots makes these weaker than those of our future enemies, whoever these will be?
I ask this because the revised version of that Chinese curse that holds "may your children live in interesting times", could very easily be, may your children lived surrounded by 3rd class robots and dumb artificial intelligence.
So even if “The era in which robots might redesign themselves constantly and advance beyond human understanding, is far into the future” their education, like that of the humans, might very well start in quite early childhood.
