SAFETY ISSUES REGARDING ADVANCED AI

Emotional intelligence in AI AEI. In Ex Machina, a tech firm employee, Caleb, wins a lottery to participate in a Turing test with Ava, a new artificial intelligence developed by his boss. Ex Machina demonstrates why there can be no Turing test for emotions or emotional intelligence in AI AEI. Once a robot is advanced enough, it will be nearly impossible to discern whether it is merely simulating Emotional intelligence in AI AEI as an actor or an actual emotional being. Robots don’t actually feel emotions or have Emotional intelligence in AI AEI—yet—but they can appear as though they do. A person’s response makes a robot’s emotions “real.” If a robot can make a human feel something, then what the robot feels (or doesn’t) is moot. If an advanced and apparently emotional robot smiles at you and says, “I love you,” or “I feel happy,” would you believe it? Since it’s impossible to prove robots don’t have genuine emotional intelligence in AI AEI experiences, it’s your choice. It is time to imagine not merely AI but also, and even more significantly, what we here call AEI: Artificial Emotional Intelligence. We need AEI rather badly because our emotional frailties dwarf our incapacities in raw mathematics or data management. We make extremely poor decisions about how we should manage relationships.
