>As long as this super intelligence leads to super ethics and super consciousness It doesn't. Humans happen to have "morality" because we evolved in groups. Groups of humans that cooperated and cared for each other better reproduced more. And so we evolved empathy. But this is an entirely arbitrary feature. There's no law of the universe that says you must be moral. There's no reason an AI would have anything like our sense of empathy or caring for other beings. AI works by predicting what actions are the most likely to lead to a goal. Better AIs are better at finding paths to a goal. But the goal itself is always arbitrary. If you made an AI to run a paperclip factory, it would eventually convert the entire mass of the Earth into paperclips. As far as "consciousness", it's likely something similar is true of that. The experience of consciousness is an artifact of how our specific brain structures work. Is it really the most efficient algorithm for intelligence? I doubt it. It's quite possible we could get replaced by an AI that builds and accomplishes great things - and there will be no conscious being left in the universe to appreciate it. A Disneyland with no childern, as Bostrom calls it. |
