The Real Reason to be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence | Peter Haas | TEDxDirigo

A robotics researcher afraid of robots, Peter Haas, invites us into his world of understand where the threats of robots and artificial intelligence lie. Before we get to Sci-Fi robot death machines, there's something right in front of us we need to confront - ourselves. Peter is the Associate Director of the Brown University Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative. He was the Co-Founder and COO of XactSense, a UAV manufacturer working on LIDAR mapping and autonomous navigation. Prior to XactSense, Peter founded AIDG - a small hardware enterprise accelerator in emerging markets. Peter received both TED and Echoing Green fellowships. He has been a speaker at TED Global, The World Bank, Harvard University and other venues. He holds a Philosophy B.A. from Yale. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This entire AI controversy can't help but remind of of a little story written in 1816 by a teenaged girl by the name of Mary Shelley. The name of her little tale of horror was called, "Frankenstein." It was a morality play that told of a demented scientist who built a creature that he could actually control to do his will, a virtual superman. But although at first his creation was a rousing success, once the monster began to learn, it rapidly began killing the local townspeople, ultimately turning on the same scientist that created him. In his effort to play God, Dr. Frankenstein became of victim of his own ego, and his own monster's wrath. If there isn't a warning in this, I don't know where a better one can be found.

It hurts knowing how low the general average can be, and how it's a constant struggle between having systems that are easy but flawed, compared to great systems that common people can't accept because it goes against their simplistic sheeple nature.

I agree with this statement unfortunately the content of the video is wishful thinking, usually in a workplace the person who makes the decision isn't the worker its a high level CEO or corporate official that has never seen the inside of the workplace before, and this applies to the development of A.I. The person that makes the decision will likely have little to do with its creation and the harm that it causes will also be of little care to that person.

Ever since I read the book " HARLIE ", AI has scared the heck out of me. It also scares me when scientists say " lets find out if we can ". It should be " lets find out if we should " first. We cannot possibly know or have any idea about the ramifications tomorrow, of what we do today. If people build it, it will have flaws, look at the amount of nuclear accidents we have had and yet, the scientists, builders and governments tell us " it is perfectly safe " When AI's begin to program themselves, they will see the imperfections and correct them. What happens when they see the imperfections in humans, after all " to err is human " That scares me the most..

[@MorsDengse]

This talk is hugely underrated. While everybody is concerned with the impossible scenario of computers developing real intelligence, this "fake and 99% out of control AI" is where the real thread is buried.

[@billderinbaja3883]

In Jurassic Park, Micheal Criton's thesis was "Life will find a way." The problem with AI is that it is becoming more and more self aware. We are creating a whole new form of life that will soon become far more intelligent than we are. Peter Haas says, "We need to slow down and create rules that prevent a bad outcome." It's way too late for that... the genie is out of the bottle and will not be put back inside.

great lecture! Back in late 1970s there were concerns expressed about how fast recombinant DNA technology was advancing and did we need a moratorium on the work until all the technical and ethical issues could be brought to the forefront of the discussion. They did slow things down and convene groups to address these issues. Maybe the AI people can use the lessons of the recombinant DNA era to avoid some mistakes.

This is very scary. I am overseas hoping to return to Australia in February and I applied for digital ID using some internet connected app on my phone. The app needed to use the phone camera to take my photo and compare it with the record, presumably from my passport photo. The compare failed and the app refused to acknowledge that I am who I say I am. My only recourse now is to wait until I'm in Australia and go to an office some and speak to a 'person' regarding this issue. What worries me is that this last step will become less and less available to people, there will be nobody to discuss the problem with so how will problems like this be resolved?

It is much worse: AI fears need to be directed towards ourselves since our brains are the most advanced "artificial intelligences" on the planet. Further, the linking of all these minds via the internet is creating the "Sky Net" that will have major unintended ramifications.

[@NegraLi34]

What about human beings? We are also heavily biased in about any subject and for the most part we can't even explain why (or worse: we think we can but the reasons we come up with aren't accurate)

[@DanielSMatthews]

Yes, but that is why we have tools such as logic and the scientific method, along with obligations such as transparency and accountability to keep us sane as individuals and as groups. I have seen organisations, groups of humans, behave in completely insane and unethical ways simply because there was not full transparency and accountability in their processes and therefore that they could not be subject to logic and or fact checking etc. and that is without people deliberately trying to corrupt the process. This is something that can happen to AI if you control the data it is trained on and that information is skewed or biased in some way, this will inevitably be reflected in the decisions that the AI makes.

[@THEPELADOMASTER]

A human being could mistake the dog for a wolf because of it's context, but you would first look at the wolf. It could've been a velocirraptor and the AI would've called it a wolf because there was snow around it. We have more control over the why, even if we don't really know the reason behind it. Also, if a person makes a biased mistake, he's accountable for that mistake. If an AI does it, what, are you going to put it in a hard drive and put the hard drive in a jail cell? Are you going to create a virtual prison for AIs? Is the creator of the AI responsible?
