Great! Thanks for the link.
Shulman has (and cites) some really good ideas, but the question remains: is anything being done about this? Is anyone actually working on developing a protocol for international regulation of artificial intelligence, or on selling the idea of Brin's Transparent Society to decision-makers, or on programming a shield AI?
At this stage I would avoid doing that. The more you try to convince those with power that they should make rules against AI the more they are going to think that creating an AI is something they need to do!
I am pretty sure that the government knows the score - or at least that the NSA do.
I'm sure they do. The important thing is what additional promotion can achieve. Will it make a leader think he needs to cooperate with the enemy and make treaties? Or it will make them more inclined to add a trillion or two to the NSA budget?
Yes indeed, the government seems to explore all promising technologies, and even some that are not so promising
