Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

[abaris]

How is machines that design machines "terminator land"?

Terminator land would be robots that try to take over the world and exterminate humanity. That's a far cry from self-correcting machines that help correct other machines.

It's another strawman.

So, it's a strawman. I don't know what I should call not being able to answer the simplest questions about processing power, technology and energy consumption then. Or the we have to assume for Harris' scenario to work.

So tell me, what threat can machines creating machines (energy consumption, wink, wink) possibly pose if they aren't out to subdue or terminate us?
