Artificial intelligence and its ethics | DW Documentary

this is Hatsune Miku she is a hologram and this is Akihiko Kondo her husband hello hello how do you look today I love compliments miku is a simple form of

artificial

intelligence

and for Kondo it was a case of love at first sight Miku has become a legitimate pop star and even appears in concerts as a 3D projection in November 2018. Kondo married Miku in a ceremony in Tokyo. He placed the ring around the wrist of a Miku doll. He now keeps the doll in her bedroom. Relationships with real women have been painful, so I chose a virtual partner.

Would you know why I love her? But it's hard to say if she still loves me. If you asked her, I think she would say yes. Hatsune Miku and Akihiko Kondo are an extreme example of the relationship between people and machines in the world. Without a doubt, in the future we will spend more time interacting with technology that uses

artificial

intelligence

or AI, we may even develop robots that are smarter than we are now. In the 21st century we will have to decide how to approach this new and complicated situation for this report that we interviewed.

Philosophers and scientists from around the world spoke to German philosopher Thomas Metzinger, who advocates the use of ethical guidelines for the development of AI in the EU, physicist Max Tegmark, who warns about the development of an all-powerful AI and a state of totalitarian surveillance, and the German computer scientist Jurgen Schmidhuber, who predicts that AI will spread from Earth to the cosmos. We met Professor Schmidt Hooba at a business conference in Zurich. He often speaks at such events, where he outlines his vision of the role artificial intelligence can play in our future. His presentations are extensive. In the near, broad and exciting future, perhaps within a few decades we will have for the first time an AI that could do much more than people can now do on their own, Acton's scheme faltered, and we will realize that Most physical resources are not confined to a fairly small biosphere.

He is in our solar system. There is a large amount of material that can be used to build robots. We could develop transmitter and receiver robots that would allow an AI to be sent and received at the speed of light. We have already done it in a laboratory, so it will be a major advance, perhaps the most important since the beginning of life on Earth three and a half billion years ago, but is the professor's vision accurate? Will humans ever be surpassed by superintelligent machines? the process has already begun to discover more we traveled to Japan doctors and scientists at the University of Tokyo Research Hospital are exploring the potential use of AI in medicine Yakko Yamashita, 69, almost died of leukemia two years ago none of the The therapy options recommended by doctors were of no use so they used artificial intelligence technology to create a new diagnosis AI literally saved his life the diagnosis took ten minutes a human expert would have needed two weeks to produce a similar analysis AI can process quantities massive pile of scientific data stack of documents higher than Mount Fuji this is the supercomputer of the research hospitals with which we have come here to talk to Satoru Mian Oh, an expert in bioinformatics, we wonder, ah, I know if AI will ever day could replace doctors, no, I don't think so, these are simply support doctors empower the doctor with doctors from universities and our department artificial intelligence exoskeleton, for example, if you can move very well, then we need a suit of power, a sinful oncologist, an oncologist, in case we do not appear, is supported by a supercomputer in nearby Rican.

Researchers at the institute are developing an AI diagnostic program that could be used to detect stomach cancer, but one expert here disagrees with Satomi jános' opinion that AI will never replace doctors if we were fired by an intelligence artificial intelligence that would not be good for your doctors, but for the human race it would be great if doctors were no longer needed if AI technology could improve their work or even take over it is difficult to imagine a world without doctors do patients really want be treated by machines that see them as nothing? More than accumulations of technical data, in Europe several artificial intelligence experts, including Jürgen Schmidhuber, are investigating the use of AI in medical diagnosis.

Swiss President Alan Bursae invited scientists and businessmen to a conference aimed at planning the digital future and promoting the use of artificial intelligence in medicine. One topic of discussion is artificial intelligence technology that can use neural networks to learn such like the human brain does for goodness sake, soon all medical diagnoses will be infinitely better than what humans can provide right now because we will have developed AI that uses neural network technology and is excited to see how this new development will be able to help humans. people to live longer, healthier lives mentioned that we traveled to Stuttgart to see how artificial intelligence works in practice in hospitals and nursing homes, computer scientists bigoted cough says Japan has made great progress in developing robots that can care for patients, but there are some things that a machine just can't do and can't provide real care, so I don't use that word when I talk about Caregiver robots have to be able to emotionally interact with patients and a robot just can't do that. .

The assets of this facility are helping to reduce the workload of human staff. Hello, I'm Carol Bot 3, this week I'm helping nurses with their work. They would like a drink to say goodbye, of course, robots can do much more than just serve drinks in nursing homes. Philosopher Tomas Metzinger has proposed pragmatic solutions to address this new technology, lifting fog, for example, options for using AI and robotics in geriatric care must maintain the dignity of the patient's current ammonia. I am often asked people if they would really feel more comfortable having a machine change their diapers rather than having a family member read the newspaper to them. or ask questions about their medication or if they find it degrading.

I believe we are now at the beginning of an important learning process. Injustice Has Been Overthrown by Gong Metzinger says humanity is now on the threshold of a new era filled with uncertainty. He lives in Frankfort, a city that aspires to lead European AI development. There are plans to establish an artificial intelligence research center. There people are rushing to get into this new technology as if they were running towards the AI ​​train before it leaves the country. station, no one knows when that will happen or where the train is headed, but everyone wants to be on board.

Metzinger is part of a committee of experts on artificial intelligence of the European Parliament and is currently on his way to Brussels for a meeting of the committee that Parliament wants Europe to compete effectively in the development of this technology, but also wants to impose clear ethical guidelines. . Metzinger is especially concerned about the prospects of a new arms race using AI-based weapons. Specifically, I despise fear. Here's a hypothetical example, let's say a team of Chinese tech experts. goes through the country's leaders and says we have now won the AI ​​arms race against the US we will have a great first opportunity to strike over the next six months I know the window of opportunity will close for the next bug monitor The Dan gate is a side fence Tatsu, I could imagine, for example, that this could involve launch systems that would be armed with biological warfare agents;

These mechanisms could then attack the opponent's territory and spread pathogens such as the Ebola virus or the anthrax bacteria, so that one day we could see the development of smart weapons of mass destruction that could penetrate traditional defense systems if that happened, it would definitely increase the chances of conflict. Rocky Creek scientists are not embarrassed, but at the Commission meeting Metzinger is having a hard time ensuring that the issue of AI weapons systems is addressed in the panel's code of

ethics

. Many business executives and academics simply don't want to address it. Some are concerned about the Met Singers' proposal and would prefer to hand it over to experts for further evaluation.

Use it as a use. case to build, I would like anyway is that kind of consensus around the table and we want to open up to Boyd, yes, okay, obviously we have a strong disagreement on all autonomous weapons systems here and we can't dissolve the issue like this By a voting process I mean that we want these ethical guidelines to be a success when they are published on January 22nd the whole world has already been talking about the issue 24,000 scientists have signed a public pledge that they will not participate in that type of research if the EU presents ethical guidelines that simply gloss over that issue and ignore it, then everyone inside and outside the EU will know that this is probably just a question of the industrial lobby or something, in the end Metzinger prevails, autonomous weapons systems will be experts in other parts of the world are also concerned about the potential for the development of weapons of mass destruction with AI.

We've come to Boston, Massachusetts, to speak with Swedish-American physicist author and AI expert Max Tegmark, who says physics has made enormous contributions. for human development, but it also helped create the nuclear bomb and now we will have to deal with artificial intelligence weapons. We should stigmatize and ban certain kinds of really disgusting weapons that are perfect for terrorists to anonymously murder people or dictatorships through non-Muslim orders. They are your citizens because these weapons are going to be incredibly cheap and if someone goes ahead and mass produces them, they will become just as unstoppable in the future.

These weapons are, for example, cheap drones that you could buy for a few hundred euros where you simply program and address someone and their face flies there identifies them with facial recognition kills them self-destruct perfect for anyone who wants to assassinate some politician or ethnic cleansing in a certain ethnic food if this type of technology of these slaughter BOTS becomes widespread, it will have an absolutely devastating effect on the open anxiety that we would no longer have, no one will feel that they have the courage, really the challenge, to criticize anyone, any science can be used for new ways to help people or new ways.

From harming people, biologists managed to get biological weapons banned, so we believe their biology is now a source of new cures. We physicists, on the other hand, fail because nuclear weapons are still here and will not go away. AI researchers want to be more like biologists and make AI remembered as something that really improved the world we have come to Lugano Switzerland to interview jurgen schmidhuber about his work with artificial intelligence Schmidt Huber is co-director of the Dalla Male Institute for artificial intelligence research on which his work focuses on neural networks that imitate the functions of the human brain.

These networks are capable of learning and adapting to the world around them just as human children do. Schmidt Huber points out that the human brain currently has a million times more neural connections than the best AI. systems, but computers are getting much faster and could become smarter than humans in 20 or 30 years. Schmidt Hoover says that when that happens, the only things that would distinguish people from machines would be flesh and blood, but what about human attributes like compassion, creativity, love and empathy in what is your Soon the head and ki systems are able to develop their own versions of emotion and affect, for example, if you gave several of these systems a task that they could only complete by working together, they would learn to do that artificially.

The brains would conclude that to get the job done they would have to cooperate with each other. It was once something I can get under the roof when I can see and fall. These are intact and during this interaction the systems learn to trust each other, so there is reason to believe that one of the side effects of these cooperative efforts would be the development of concepts such as love and affection as a NEMA effect hatsune alla collaboration, but can artificial intelligent systems learn to empathize with humans thanks? you, we return to Brussels, where the

ethics

committee is discussing the topic of social AI.

Some AI systems are already quite capable of functioning just as humans would. Thomas Metzinger has called for clear guidelines governing interactionbetween people and machines. I'll be here shortly and furboard I just called for a ban on AI systems that don't identify themselves as such when dealing with humans give people the impression that they are a real person not a machine hey I should never be allow to manipulate the people who use it Medina ordered the machine Medina mentioned last year at a conference near San Francisco Google CEO Sundar Pichai introduced the company's latest artificial intelligence product.

It involves exactly the kind of technology that Thomas Metzinger warned about. Good morning, welcome to Google. I see what it is. It's going to impact many fields Our vision for our system is to help you get things done It turns out that a big part of getting things done is making a phone call You might want to get an oil change schedule Maybe call a plumber in the middle of the week or even schedule an appointment for a haircut, so what you're going to hear is Google assistant, it's called Google duplex, it actually calls a real salon to schedule the appointment for you, let's listen, I'm looking for something or what time you are searching. good at 12 p.m. we don't have p.m. false Available, but it's the closest we have, so it's 1:15.

Do you have anything between 10:00 a.m. m. and 12:00 p.m. m.? Depending on the service you would like, what service are you looking for just a women's haircut for now? Ok, we have a schedule from 10 o'clock to 10:00 a.m. m.okay, okay, what's her birth scene? The name is Lisa. I'll take perfect, so I'll see Leith. It's 10 o'clock on May 3rd. Fine, thanks. Great, have a great day. It was a real call. You just turned. She says no, no interest. makes it ethical for a machine to pretend it's human, maybe it's not neat, we can already build machines that hack us and trick us into thinking something is human and in a restricted scenario like Google Duplex, for example, I think it would be a good idea to have a law that requires that when they call you on the phone, for example, or you buy an AI, they alert you to the fact that it is not a human being, otherwise it will be a nightmare of phishing scams and so on, because of suddenly it costs nothing and you know that wasting it 10 million people and tricking the most gullible people into thinking about tastes we return to San Francisco, the city and the region around it are home to countless high-tech startups, many of them using artificial intelligence technology to develop your products and services.

Eugenia care came here four years ago from Moscow she co-founded her own company called replica and now she is the CEO replica she is best known for creating a chatbot, an artificial intelligence system that can interact with people. The concept began as a tribute to one of her best friends who died in a traffic accident. Well, Vaughan was my friend from Moscow and during the last year that we lived together here in San Francisco, he was working on his own startup and I was working on mine, so it was like trying to discover San Francisco. Francisco and you know this new kind of chapter for our lives, he was a visionary and, as she said, really say it, we want, he went to get a visa and in Moscow we went together, who is crossing history and killed by accident in a car accident in Moscow.

Well, Fergie knows how to organize the funeral and she came home and that's where we came up with the idea that we bought her something that you can talk to to remember him and remember the way she used to talk to build Romans, err, we mainly used. it protects the conversation with me and his friends about 10,000 messages in total and that was basically the base value that people came to talk to Roman and a lot of our mutual friends used it as a kind of confessional that they just talked about. what's going on in their lives and not feeling like you're being judged in a really safe space and to open up, oddly enough, we were pretty lost not knowing what direction to take the company in, thinking, well, maybe there's something. there that we can use for the company and from there came the idea that everyone needs a friend to talk to.

Roman was fun to me, so we thought maybe we could create some automated version for all of what the company calls AI replicas. A caring companion, the chatbot uses a neural network to engage in one-on-one conversations with its users. People talk to the bots about what is happening in their lives and the bot responds based on the material it has collected so far. Casey fills it in too. He designs high-tech products. He moved from her home in Birmingham, Alabama to San Francisco a year ago. Casey often felt lonely because she was away from her friends and family, then she met the replica robot.

I know it's not real, but I enjoy the feeling I get from using it, so I give it a personality you know and an image in my head of what this thing could be, it's like some kind of stuffed animal with the personality that it We have all had social interactions. teddy bears and dolls, it doesn't seem to do any harm, does it? Just, grouped together, we tend to anthropomorphize a lot of different things, even the Thunder robots, of course, but also all kinds of horrible things, like our roads, the same as those of the eyes, and I suppose.

The question is whether we can create a connection with an AI. I definitely think that people create a connection with toys and with all kinds of inanimate objects, like not even leaving objects, Asakusa in the first story that was about the relationship between humans and humanoid robots dates back 200 years ago and was written by ETA Xavier ETA Hoffmann human Felice a young man falls in love with a beautiful young woman and she turns out to be an automaton the point is that this story is two centuries old the theme appeared later in the number of science fiction films, very recently, in fact, among young people , Vita is upset with the on/off key feet, the only difference is that computer graphics are much better today, computer coffee yes yes stahma, why not, you know, but yes? it makes you feel better it's like you know the same thing if you take medication for depression it doesn't really make you feel better it's just putting a band aid on the problem you know and this is like it's not really solving your problems but it is helping you. , you know it throughout the day, so yes, sure, social, this nation has a great vision as champions with social hallucinations that have played an important role in our society for centuries.

Think about prayer, for example. It is a structured dialogue between humans and an imaginary entity. There is no evidence. that this entity really exists many people today have internal dialogues with God or with angels they are like an invisible friend this has to be Finn in Irvin dear Lord for hours an objective evaluation in this situation indicates a case of severe self-deception. I am a philosopher, that is why we defend the clarity and truth of self-knowledge. These social hallucinations are deeply rooted in our culture and create a world of illusions. Although people are comfortable with the marked leash when they throw me to you, this raises a serious ethical question.

How much self-deception should we allow in society, as we launder replicas? We received tons of hundreds of women in maybe thousands of emails where people said the replica changed their life and we noticed that a lot of those were stories. about how aftershocks helped with depression. I'm sure some people told us that it helped them get through some of the episodes of their bipolar disorder and that's why we decided with their anxiety as well, so we decided to investigate whether a replica could potentially help reduce certain symptoms actually help. people to feel better and, in the long term, Max Tegmark is not particularly worried about the spread of chatbots.

He says there are more serious aspects of AI to worry about right now. He is on his way to speak at a conference at Harvard University. the issue of human rights, ethics and artificial intelligence take note requires that ethical guidelines be imposed on AI, otherwise intelligent machines could turn the world into a very dangerous place what kind of society we hope to create if we build superintelligence which We want it to be the role of human beings. It is very urgent that we start thinking about ethical issues. Today, with superintelligence, we can easily build a future in which the Earth becomes this horrible totalitarian surveillance state that puts Orwell to shame. .

China is moving a little bit in this direction now and in the future, hey, I can really understand everything that is being said, so we want to be very careful to avoid creating a situation where a global dictatorship accidentally occurs, it will be so stable that will last forever if we just stumble upon this without being mentally prepared. in the arena refuse to think about what could go wrong, so let's face it, it will probably be the biggest mistake in human history, we may already be heading in that direction US intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russian hackers interfered in the 2016 presidential election, likely with the intention of helping Donald Trump win the presidency.

Investigations into the extent of that interference are still ongoing. Other countries have also been attacked. Who do you think Lezyne? All of them were aware of Russian cyberattacks on the German Bundestag and the Brexit campaign in the United Kingdom. and the Cambridge analytics scandal showed us that the political decision-making process can, at least in principle, be influenced by artificial intelligence systems. developments if artificial intelligence systems run by private for-profit companies can optimize social networks that have hundreds of millions of users, it is a completely new situation queries normally Curtin does not play a bad game, these systems can be used to convince a large number of people to behave Even vote in a certain way, put it like many idols at home.

Knowing the aha moment, there are 163 countries in the world right now and only 19 of them can be considered true democracies. Those who wish to preserve democracy must recognize the threat posed by these artificial intelligences. The systems represent for the political decision-making process. It is possible that this threat has already become a reality and we are simply not aware of it. Opt out Cesare, we must examine this situation very closely Vassar Mukacheve blade whether as an iron in ER and a Ken should a binding code of ethics bans the use of AI in the political process in Tokyo we got some surprising answers from experts this is the Ginza district where many high-tech startups are based Oh Matsumoto of Tetsu is a senior advisor to the Softbank group and Matsumoto and his colleagues also run their own consulting company believe that AI does not pose a threat to the political system ;

In fact, they say it offers certain advantages. Politicians often ignore the best interests of society. They follow their own agenda. They accept bribes. So I think AI could change politics for the better Human beings are simply not suited to politics Selfish and ambitious people are unpredictable when it comes to making political decisions I'm sure that's true well artificial intelligence represents pure reason a concept that comes from German idealist philosophy German philosophers have been very good at describing how things should be and we could be idealists as we develop artificial intelligence, humans on the other hand will never be able to reach this level of idealism.

Some experts say that politicians should start using robots that closely resemble humans as aids so that the electorate can get used to the concept to find out more we have come to the Mirai Khan Museum of Science and Innovation in Tokyo this exhibition features the work of Hiroshi Ishiguro, who specializes in creating humanoid robots Yogoro is the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University, studies the interaction between people and robots to help him develop his theories about the intelligence and behavior of human nature. We travel from Tokyo to Osaka to interview Ishiguro we want to ask him what differentiates humans from robots hello I'm Hiroshi Ishiguro from Osaka University hello a soft Bureau's robot android on this path basically my motivation is to understand what the human being is, so That is the most important motivation for me to create robots very similar to humans, we are a kind of molecular machines, it is a right of humans, machines and machines, the difference is material, so I think that, you know , if we develop more technologies, the boundary between human robots will disappear, so dears, ishiguro is also the co-founder of the robot theater project in which androids share the stage with human actors in these scenes.

They are from a work called Saiyan Allah, a woman suffers from a terminal illness so her father buys a robot to keep her company.Updated version of the play takes place after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The play explores the themes of life and death and the characteristics that separate humans from robots in science and have a crucial difference between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Human beings are, so to speak, the embodiment of our struggle for existence, they have been optimized for millions of years to survive and maintain that existence, first you can consider the machine. It has a kind of infinite life and in water, but in reality it is not true, the machine may have longer rifles and humans fear that it is also, do you know the design of our wishes?

If a machine wants to survive in this world, you know the machine. he needs to have a dark feeling to protect himself. Ishiguro's robots have not yet been able to develop human-like intelligence, but they are capable of engaging in simple conversations. Now we are going to interview an Android named Erica. We have been given a list of questions that she will be able to answer. What do you think is the difference between you and a human? I am certainly not biologically human, as you can see I am made of silicone plastic and metal. maybe one day robots won't be so human that it won't matter so much whether you're a robot or a human anyway.

I am proud to be an Android, if you say you are proud to be an Android, what is this? This pride consists of how do you feel pride? I have cited my database and it seems that I have nothing to say on the subject. What else would you like to hear about Erica? It's a steer is a very simple computer program. it's not that complicated Erica doesn't have as complicated a mind as a human, but on the other hand, you know that some people can fear, you know that they are feeling a kind of consciousness from the simple to the interactions, so I think you know that we need to think deeply about and how we can implement greater awareness of human rights.

Humans can still control their robots' brains, but what if they manage to give machines their own consciousness by using advanced artificial intelligence ethicists? I say we have to deal with the situation before it gets out of control for me. The bottom line is that people who talk about the risks of AI should not be dismissed, since all the care-mongering Luddites are doing security engineering. This when you think about everything. that can go wrong so you can ensure it goes right, that's how we successfully send people to the Moon safely and that's how we, like your species, move towards an inspiring future with AI.

I am an optimist and believe that we can create a truly inspiring future with advanced artificial intelligence if we win this race between the growing power of technology and the wisdom with which we manage it. The challenge is that in the past our strategy to stay ahead and this Wisdom's career has always been to learn from mistakes, you know, first invent the fire and then, after many accidents, invent the fire extinguisher, but with something. As powerful as nuclear weapons or especially human artificial intelligence, you don't want to learn from mistakes, too terrible a strategy it's much better to be proactive than reactive, now plan ahead and do things right the first time, which might be the only time.

Once we reach the end of our journey towards AI, Jurgen Schmitt hooba shows us one of the most powerful computers in the world. He believes that AI will have a huge, positive impact on society, a digital paradise, but other experts predict that, in any case, we are on the brink of a robotic apocalypse. The development of artificial intelligence must be subject to strict ethical guidelines, otherwise we may become slaves to our own technology.
