SHORT HORIZON. “The consensus among supporters on when machine consciousness will be achieved is between 10 and 20 years. While that is a long time, it should be remembered that this is shorter than the age of the mobile communications industry and, certainly at 10 years, is close enough for this technology to have an effect on the valuations of companies, including Google." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn

SELF-CORRECTING. “To become conscious, Sheehy said systems would need to be able to look at the rules the humans had programmed, to identify inconsistencies or gaps, and report back. Alternatively, they would need to be able to discover errors in algorithms and consciously fix them without being asked.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn

VIGILANCE REQUIRED. “There are fewer obvious constraints on the harm a system with poorly specified goals might do. In particular, an autonomous system that learns about human goals, but is not correctly designed to align its own goals to its best model of human goals, could cause catastrophic harm in the absence of adequate checks.” https://lnkd.in/dWsky-W View in LinkedIn

AMPLIFIED CONSEQUENCES. “As perception, inference, and planning algorithms improve, AI systems will be trusted with increasingly complex and long-term decision-making. Small errors will then have larger consequences.” https://lnkd.in/dWsky-W View in LinkedIn

MICROCHIPS. "It’s a messy soup of electrons, and the supposedly binary values of one and zero (or on and off) are not the only option in town. (Because of the vagaries of voltage, a logic gate, Smart explains, can effectively be stuck on “half”.)" https://lnkd.in/dJ7JeAs View in LinkedIn
