Point of MIRI is making sure the goals are set up right, yeah?
I have a feeling MIRI folks view their point as... a bit wider :-/ But they are around, you can ask them yourself.
will presumably include human ability to override
So that there is a place for an evil villain? X-)
But no, I don't think post-Singularity there will be much in the way of options to "override".
We may have different ideas of Singularity here. I'm picturing one AI making itself smarter until it seizes control of everything. Ergo, its program would be a map to the future. Presumably someone retains admin on it from when it was a baby. That person is/can choose to be in charge.
If, by contrast, you are imagining a different Singularity without one overriding Master Control-esque program then I could see why you wouldn't think that there'd be an override capability. Alternatively, perhaps you think the AI that takes over would remove the override? Either would explain why we anticipate differently.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
