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

[Excited Penguin]

You think that's what intelligence is?

Sounds to me like you're talking about skill in general.

Intelligence is about speed and depth of comprehension (or in A.I. an artificial simulation of it).

That's a lay person's understanding of intelligence and is a very small proportion of what the brain does.

What Ham proposed is all we need it to do anyway. We can do away with the other useless stuff . We don't want it to sniff drugs or run a marathon but be better than us and eventually than itself at a prior moment at solving problems.
