Re: [nexa] "Musk, Hawking, Wozniak call for ban on autonomous weapons and military AI"

by David Orban

Il significato della lettera aperta, a mio avviso, non è solo nella pratica specifica, anche se è notevole anche lì. Si estende infatti all'esame di quelle che sono le leve sempre più complesse e sofisticate che vengono incorporate all'interno dei sistemi automatici con sui ci circondiamo. Un altro esempio di una possibile escalation fuori controllo è nei sistemi di High Frequency Trading. Se costruissimo un sistema AI avanzato basato sugli istinti predatori di un programma HFT, le sue reazioni sarebbero altamente distruttive verso gli obiettivi più ampi dell'umanità. Parlo di questi e altri temi nel libro "Singolarità" che verrà pubblicato da Hoepli in autunno e che potete leggere in bozza inglese già adesso: http://singularitybook.net David Orban "What is the question that I should be asking?" twitter, linkedin, etc: davidorban On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 5:59 PM, J.C.

ECFR (Carl Bildt): "The future global order"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Lo European Council on Foreign Relations ha iniziato a pubblicare una serie di articoli dal titolo "Digital Power" (finalmente qualcuno l'ha capita! Sono anni che parlo di "potere digitale"...) Il primo articolo è dell'ex Primo Ministro Svedese Carl Bildt: http://www.ecfr.eu/article/commentary_the_future_global_order3072 *THE FUTURE GLOBAL ORDER* When we discuss international cyber policy, we are discussing the rules of the game of the future global order. It is therefore essential Europe takes an active role in setting the standards that are going to govern this rapidly-evolving, hyper-connected world.
