This post is now at -3 -- since it has 0 comments and will be invisible to most users, I hazard a guess as to why this is happening it in case the feedback is useful.
People don't even manage to recognize all of terms in their utility function that are relevant to a single decision. How in the world do you plan to explicitly do this for all circumstances, averaged over all of humanity? Trying to explicitly spell this out by intuition-pumping does not seem like an awesome strategy to input Friendliness into an AI -- you know that you will seriously screw something up, since you know that you/discussants will miss something.
Basically, the fact that you seem to think that just throwing actions/contexts out there and attaching numbers is in any way productive gives me the impression that you have no idea how hard codifying human values actually is, and the resulting discussion won't be very productive until you do. See complexity of value.
I'm sorry if this comes across as rude or condescending; I'm attempting to prioritize clarity over niceness in the time that I have available to write this, given that I think sub-optimal feedback may be better than none at all in this case.
I am tapping out of the conversation at this point.
How will we know if future AI’s (or even existing planners) are making decisions that are bad for humans unless we spell out what we think is unfriendly?
At a machine level the AI would be recursively minimising cost functions to produce the most effective plan of action to achieve the goal, but how will we know if its decision is going to cause harm?
Is there a model or dataset which describes what is friendly to humans? e.g.
Context
0 - running a simulation in a VM
2 - physical robot with vacuum attachment
9 - full control of a plane
Actions
0 - selecting a song to play
5 - deciding which section of floor to vacuum
99 - deciding who is an ‘enemy’
9999 - aiming a gun at an ‘enemy’
Impact
1 - poor song selected to play, human mildly annoyed
2 - ineffective use of resources (vacuuming the same floor section twice)
99 - killing a human
99999 - killing all humans
This may not be possible to get agreement from all countries/cultures/beliefs, but it is something we should discuss and attempt to get some agreement.
