Google Is Developing An AI Kill Switch
MojoKid shares a HotHardware article about Google’s research effort
“to maintain control of super-intelligent AI agents”: [A] team of
researchers at Google-owned DeepMind, along with University of Oxford
scientists, are developing a proverbial kill switch for AI…
The team has released a white paper on the topic called “Safely
Interruptible Agents.” The paper details the following in abstract:
“Learning agents interacting with a complex environment like the real
world are unlikely to behave optimally all the time… now and then it may
be necessary for a human operator to press the big red button to
prevent the agent from continuing a harmful sequence of actions…”
MojoKid adds that the paper “goes on to explain that these AI agents
might also learn to disable the kill switch and further explores ways in
which to develop AI’s that would not seek such an activity.”
