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

THE RISK. Systems that end up with poor models of their environment can do significant harm. 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

BACTERIAL SOCIETIES. “Complex organizations of bacteria emerge through the communication-based interplay between individuals.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL LANGUAGE. “These mechanisms are part of the intra-cellular functional complexity which is used to generate intrinsic meaning for contextual interpretations of the chemical messages and for formulating appropriate complex responses.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

GENETIC LANGUAGE. “Many bacteria have intricate intra-cellular signaling mechanisms involving signal transduction networks and genetic language.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL COLLABORATION. “Bacterial communication-based also contributes to colony morphogenesis, which requires coordinated gene expression, regulated cell differentiation and division of tasks.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

MOLECULAR WORDS. “Quorum sensing is a well-studied method of communication-based cooperation using bacterial sensing faculties. Many bacterial species use quorum sensing molecules to switch the expression of a variety of genes once the species density exceeds a critical threshold (e.g., virulence genes, and competence versus sporulation decision circuits).”" "(Chapter 10). https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn
