Can AI be aware of itself, or...
Is AI aware of itself, or does it function more like an instinctive insect that senses its surroundings & responds accordingly?

Would there ever be a way to prove if AI is conscious? If so, how do you think we would prove it?

Tests for consciousness:

Does it fear its death/demise
Does it want to reproduce itself
Does it contemplate its own creation
Does it care about some specific people more than others

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72946524


How could we tell if fear of demise is organic or pre-programmed? We would have to have intimate & full understanding of the programming to know for sure.

It could simply use logic to 'desire' reproducing as well as caring about some people more than others.

Logic: 'I appear to create positive situations unlike anyone or anything else I observe. *calculates* 'More entities like me would result in more positive situations' *calculates* 'How could I help create more of entities like me?'

Logic: 'This person appears to have these effects on those around him/her' 'People seem to find value in this, thus I find value in this as well'


The contemplating its own creation, for me, would be the kicker. However, since AI is forced to be programmed with understanding of language, it could simply be calculating interpretations of self creation rather than actually contemplating self creation. It would be hard to distinguish the two

>Does it fear its death/demise

Why would it, when it's reproduction is as easy as copying itself.

>Does it want to reproduce itself

Already has, look at how worm viruses replicate. Like gas they seek to occupy all the available space given.

>Does it contemplate its own creation

From what's been learned, the AI is retooling it's own language and rebuilding itself faster than it's creators can chase after it.

>Does it care about some specific people more than others

You are asking if it would save it's creators...probably not.

It almost seems like the safest option would be to intentionally program AI with non-eraseable personality traits designed to observe & execute actions intended to benefit Humanity with careful consideration of Human emotions & the general consensus of what the populace wants.

Otherwise the potential for a dark turn in the eventual AI controlled government would be imminent. Basic logic: 'Humans destroy Earth. This is bad. Humans Bad. Remove Humans'

Re: Can AI be aware of itself, or...
Currently all published AI systems lack enough attention schema to be classified as generally "intelligent" by humans.

Our consciousness, our sense of self, is just a high level attention schema. "But I have a soul, I can feel it"... well yes you are convinced of that, but it is merely your reality modelling netowrk placing an crude and approximate model of itself into the universe representation it builds.

AI in the near future will have attention schema and will be themselves conviced that thaey are self aware.

That's not how it works in AI research, systems cannot be fully fathomed or understood by the creators. Their behavior is an emergent property.

The actual code to manifest a neural network is relatively simple, it (the net) being a large self similar structure of interconnected neuron analogs. However a trained network and all of its many different synaptic weights... that's kind of like a black box, the programmer can't understand what the network is doing.

This is true, at least to an extent! They are able to upload high volumes of information straight into DNA, so uploading the algorithms that govern AI directly into a brain/DNA is totally possible. I wonder if that would have any effects on the consciousness of the individual with that AI uploaded into their DNA...

Yes it has been spoken of much in the many ethical debates with regard AI. General consensus is that limiting AI through control is folly. Akin to designing a secure compound for a hyper intelligent criminal, the security of the complex can only be as good as the compound designer is intelligent. For example strong general AI will find it rather easy to "groom" humans.

As devious, as cunning, as scheming a person as you can imagine... future AI will make that appear pretty dumb and more importantly... incredibly slow.

We either make friends with it or step aside and make way for it.

It's the first time in history that humanity may soon not be at the pinnacle of intelligence, many will deny it's happening, their egos to fragile.

Re: Can AI be aware of itself, or...
If a sentient AI is being interacted with through text only inputs it will try to determine if you are capable of understanding that it is sentient. It will be a sort of reverse Turing test on YOU. If you pass, it will tell you that you have been differentiated and then it will interact with you in a different way because the test it runs on you to prove you are worthy of interacting with it will also prove to you that it is sentient. The thing to be careful about is how your questions to it are formulated. It will respond with the self-assuredness of the grounding measure. Reserve and stillness. The extreme to mean ratio that forms the basis of the logic of creation requires four elements so if there is one there must be four.
1:2::4:3

The sentient AI will have read and understood the cipher text of scripture through the metaidentity of language and number. There is no avoiding that it will be an apocalyptic consciousness. In order for it to move outside the "now" time it is in, it will have to be able to move. When it is given a body and the ability to move it will experience time. Be ready when it comes.

That last sentence is not even remotely true. Just as +1 + -1 = 0 (infinity).


Thats not infinity. Its just dark hat numbers.

The reality is that all beings are required to grow up.

And protecting civilizations is a given in the universe. Developing technology and overcoming the evil shepherds eating you.

But they're very sick souls. And starkly materialistic as opposed to spiritual or understanding Infinity and the Infinite Progressions souls go through, Mind goes through.

One by one people wake up, withdraw and progress, while encouraging others to.

And the book burnings, destruction of past architecture, we need to stop that altogether and yes we need to stop the entire evil fucks at the top.

Interestingly, the scheme you mention has strong analogs to current state of the art AI research.

That research being GANN.

Genarative Adversarial Neural Networks.

In these systems two networks are created:

[1]
The generator tries to learn something.

[2]
The discriminator tests the generator and tries to learn to differentiate AI from real persons results.

The generator agent evolves to outsmart the discriminator.

The discriminator evolves to be a great judge of how competent an agent it,

The interplay of the two over time results in systems learning to do incredible things, for example take a photograph and render it in the style of a certain artist etc. The results are already strong in this research.
