Positive Computing in Artificial Intelligence

The rise of artificial intelligence

Over the past half-century, artificial intelligence has grown rapidly in terms of both computational power, application, and mainstream usage. As written by Zhongzhi Shi, and observed by many others, "Artificial Intelligence attempts simulation, extension and expansion of human intelligence using artificial methodology and technology."[1]

Superintelligence possibility

A possible outcome of future computer science and computer engineering research is an Intelligence explosion. I. J. Good described the first superintelligent machine as "the last invention that man need ever make," because of the vast influence it would have on our species. Indeed, Nick Bostrom, in his book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, proposes the common good principle according to which superintelligence should be developed only for the benefit of all and based on widely shared ethical ideals.

Potential solutions

Malo Bourgon, COO of MIRI, stated that the AI community should consider best practices from the computer security community when testing their systems for safety and security before they are released for wide adoption. Government legislation, business practices, and stronger education of AI and its consequences to society are also proposed.[2] These solutions implement the principles of positive computing into AI, making sure that it serves humanity in a positive way.
