In the case of AI, there is the additional difficulty that the AI may be trained to act like a human, or incentivized to appear sentient, which makes behavioral markers of sentience less reliable. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Additionally, some chatbots have been trained to say they are not conscious.
Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more sophisticated every year, what would it mean for humans if it one day achieves true consciousness?
One problem philosophers point out is that users can go ahead and ask a sophisticated chatbot it if it has internal experiences, but they can’t trust it to give a reliable answer.
Simply put, the hard-wired model that AI has adopted in recent years is a dead end in terms of computers becoming sentient. To explain why requires a trip back in time to an earlier era of AI hype.
Bostrom and others argue that human extinction is probably the "default path" that society is currently taking, in the absence of substantial preparatory attention to AI safety. The resultant AI might not be sentient, and might place no value on sentient life; the resulting hollow world, devoid of life, might be like "a Disneyland without ...
A modern version of his experimental design would use an online chat room, where one of the participants is a real person and one of the participants is a computer program. The program passes the test if no one can tell which of the two participants is human. [7] Turing notes that no one (except philosophers) ever asks the question "can people ...
"The sentience of a Google chat bot comes from it collecting data from decades worth of human texts — sentient human text," said Robert Pless, computer science department chair at George ...
AI and AI ethics researchers Timnit Gebru, Emily M. Bender, Margaret Mitchell, and Angelina McMillan-Major have argued that discussion of existential risk distracts from the immediate, ongoing harms from AI taking place today, such as data theft, worker exploitation, bias, and concentration of power.
