What? What are your definitions of FAI and unfriendly AI?
Rather than unfriendly AI, I think he means a Friendly AI that's only Friendly to one person (or very few people). If we're going to be talking about this concept then we need a better term for it. My inner nerd prefers Suzumiya AI.
Genie AI?
Conceptually there is very little difference between AGI which understands the values of one human and AGI which understands a hypothetical aggregate of human values. Therefore I use FAI to refer to both concepts.
The big difference is in how the AI builds that aggregate from individual values. There are surely many ways to do so, and people will disagree about them (and some ways will not be wanted by anyone at all but we could get them by mistake for a non-Friendly AI). On the other hand, existing suggestions like CEV are greatly underspecified and haven't even been strictly proven to have real (or unique) solutions.
That apparently conflicts with how it is defined in Creating Friendly AI.
I disagree. Why couldn't outlined procedure for creating friendly AI (3.4.4 of link) to be based on a one individual, a superposition of a small group of individuals instead of a superposition of all of humanity?
The preference of particular individual humans may involve harming other humans.
Defining such preferences as "friendly" violates the concept as it was originallly intended, IMO.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) = any intelligence with near-human capabilities of learning and innovation
Friendly AI (FAI)= an AGI which understands human values
unfriendly AI = an AGI which is not FAI
FAI will be harder to develop than unfriendly AI, but the question is how much harder?
Reasons why FAI is harder than AGI have been extensively discussed by Yudkowski and others. These include:
Human values are hard to understand
The growth mechanism of FAI must have low variability to ensure that the FAI remains friendly. But high-variability growth mechanisms (such as mutation and selection) could be the easiest path to AGI.
Doesn't this conflict with your other statement?
I see your point. I have modified my comment to
