If we do have any control over
it, how can we hard code our nobler selves into a new version Three Laws of
Robotics? The evolutionary advantageous urge to co-operate, our empathy
(leading to altruism, care for others, love), the value we place on trust (and
our innate ability to sense deception).
These are not questions of the
far future. If we believe there is something worth protecting about humanity
now is the time to consider it.
No-one and nothing survives the
process of evolution indefinitely. We are in the unique position of both
creating our replacement and having an opportunity to set its behaviours for
the future.
The challenge when trying to
set rules for behaviour though is the huge cultural weight shaping our view of
wrong and right. That view varies from culture to culture and through time.
Do we have the right we have to set the rules for how our replacements must
behave?
Or should we leave it to evolutionary forces among competing super-intelligences?
We have that choice.
