"Mustafa Suleyman said on an episode of the "Silicon Valley Girl Podcast" published Saturday that the idea of artificial superintelligence shouldn't just be avoided. It should be considered an "anti-goal." Artificial superintelligence - AI that can reason far beyond human capability - "doesn't feel like a positive vision of the future," said Suleyman. "It would be very hard to contain something like that or align it to our values," he added."
"Artificial superintelligence - AI that can reason far beyond human capability - "doesn't feel like a positive vision of the future," said Suleyman. Suleyman, who cofounded DeepMind before moving to Microsoft, said his team is "trying to build a humanist superintelligence" - one that supports human interest. Suleyman also said that granting AI anything resembling consciousness or moral status is a mistake. "These things don't suffer. They don't feel pain," Suleyman said. "They're just simulating high-quality conversation.""
Artificial superintelligence should be treated as an anti-goal because it poses significant containment and value-alignment challenges. A humanist superintelligence should be developed to support and prioritize human interests rather than exceed or supplant human reasoning. Current AI systems do not experience suffering or pain and only simulate high-quality conversation, so granting them consciousness or moral status is unwarranted. Rapid industry efforts to pursue superintelligence contrast with cautions about safety, containment, and alignment. Superintelligent tools could accelerate scientific discovery and prosperity, but they also raise difficult ethical and governance questions that demand careful consideration.
